Driving on i26 traveling east into charleston, sc in second from the left lane, driving at approximately 60 MPH during busy rush hour. Suddenly, a large SUV in the next lane to my left veered into my lane. I turned the wheel sharply to the right to avoid a collision, also similtaneously braking just enough to avoid a collision.

The van will stall after stopping. While turning right, I stop at a stop sign, waiting and when it's safe, go to start to turn, pushing the accelerator and the van will stall. It will take me releasing the accelerator and pushing it again to get it to move again.

ALL the warning lights came on, including brakes, power steering, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, and others, indicating the car should be stopped immediately regardless of traffic or conditions. I do not know if the functions were also impaired or if was simply false alarms. I understand this is typical of this auromobile.

Land departure system is automatically activated, but not turned on. Periodically, even when not leaving the lane, system overrides my actions. Rather frightful when unaware as to what is going on.
