Please help Panamera PSM Failure

I was driving my car this morning 5 minute from my house. Suddenly notice PSM failure pop up and my alignment is totally off, the steering wheels is to the left. Anybody has the same issue? What cause the problem? Saft to drive the car, I have appointment on Monday but it's 40 mile away from my house. Please help!

I would check the manual on this one but I bet it's a sensor issue. I think PSM monitors for wheel slippage and adjusts to counter this.
My bet is it's an easy fix.
I'd also check your TPMS, your wheels for damage, as well as your tires.

Thanks for the reply, I check and nothing on the owners manual. Very strange, I restart up the car the and drive for 30 second and the alignment is perfectly straight until the PSM light came on then steering wheels to the left again, also the car feels like it's lossing balance on the body roll 😭

If you haven't already driven to the dealer, I suggest having it towed in. No sense making a bad situation worse by getting in an accident in a car that is not handling properly. Keep us updated.

Just got call from the dealer and was told that the control arm failure, they replace new arms and realignment the car. Due to control arm was replace last year, this will be no cost for me

that's good.

FYI, i had a PSM failure and CEL come on, and strangely enough, it was an engine coil.

hope the car continues to run smoothly.
