'My car has a mind of its own and will stop suddenly or turn the radio on full blast'

A man says his car has 'a mind of its own' and has caused sweary confrontations with members of the public. Barry Williams, 62, has mobility issues due to a missing piece of his spine and relies on his SEAT Ateca to get him around.
