In my case, it was because the car would hop a bit and change direction (minor but scary at high speeds) when going over bumps on curves. Exit ramps from one highway to another (in the Bay Area, from 280 South to 101 South is a good example) with metal expansion joints would trigger my Q45 to perform this feat. Problem went away when the steering rack was replaced.
