2024 Buick Encore Gx

I recently bought this 2024 Buick Encore GX about a week ago and we decided to take a short trip to [XXX], as we were coming back and was driving downhill, we notice the vehicle was pulling to the left side like a strong wind pulling it. The steering wheel became very stiff and unable to pull back towards the driving lane as my daughter was trying to maneuver back, so she finally slowed down all the way to a full stop as the car approached all the way to the left by pulling hard by itself as my daughter was putting her brakes on. We waited for a few minutes as we turned off the vehicle, then after a few minutes she started back and check the steering by turning both ways to the right and left side, it felt okay then we proceeded back unto the road and came back to [XXX], but it became evening and the panel light came on, within a few hours later the panel light also became blank everything was just dark on the panel, we couldn't see the speeding monitor, the radio panel and the gear light, this happen within 3 minutes then it finally came back on again. This was very terrible and scary. If this vehicle did this to me while I am alone driving it, I wouldn't know what to do, it might kill me. I needed a good vehicle for myself, so I purchased this here in [XXX] and I am a [XXX] woman. this is a terrible vehicle please do a recall and more investigation on this vehicle. I am afraid to own this vehicle now I don't know what to do with it. this kind of vehicle should never be sold at all to the public.
