Description of the problem	When lane keep assist is on at night (uses eyesight to keep you in your lane) the car steering wheel has on two separate occasions suddenly jerked to the right. The first time there had been some road repairs with some parts of the road having new asphalt at some not, and the road was still wet from a previous rainstorm. The most recent time the road was dry and this happened when the car reached and exit where the painted stripe on the right side opened at the angle for cars to depart the interstate to allow for the exit. The first time there were two immediate jerks to the right. The last time a single jerk. Each time i had to forcibly jerk back the car back to the middle of the lane i was in, or we would have left the road at 65 mph. I have stopped using lane keep assist - this was very dangerous. The first time i asked the salesman at subaru of champaign about this, and he didn't know about it. After the second occurrence i decided it was a dangerous defect and had to report it. Thank you.
