I proceeded from a stop sign and once i made it to my destination which was less than a 1/4 mile the car started sputtering once i pulled in the yard. The check engine light came on, so i left to go back to my house and it started acting fine. I could smell full in the cabin. I was coming home one night and it did the same thing except the engine light didn't come on. This is the second q50 that has done this. The dealership had to come get the first one because it wouldn't crank.

When starting up from being parked the wheels steer the car to the right while i have to pull the steering wheel to the left to keep the car driving straight. The moment i remove the pressure from pulling the wheel left the car takes an immediate right turn. This is not a front end alignment issue as the problem will correct itself. It has taken as short as a couple of miles or as long as a few short trips for it to correct itself. It has happened first thing in the morning, in the afternoon and evening. This safety issue started when the outside temperature was still warm. When the steering does correct itself i can feel the steering wheel being pulled to the right and then the car drives straight again without me applying pulling pressure one way or the other.
