PS4 Major Problem with G29

On the night of the A/C 1.03 patch the Ps4 was in hibernation mode over night and in the morning I woke up the Ps4 to the G29 steering wheel doing some random crap in the Ps4 home screen section such as zooming in and out when turning the steering wheel, buttons not working, constant picture taking and share button randomly on and off. I tried starting up a game and right when I accelerated I turned the wheel and the share button engaged and video started to record. I had to shut it down

I have never come across this issue.
Has anyone got any idea what could be the problem.
On the upside the G29 is 7 months old and has a 2 year warranty

 

As I am no doubt you are aware, the highly technical fix for all computer related issues is 1) pull the pluggy thing out the wall 2) wait a bit 3) replace pluggy thing 4) reboot.

9.9 times out of 10 this will fix all random weirdness known to modern man including severe acne, most marital problems and even being in possession of chronically ginger hair. Failing that, try beating a 5lb lump hammer on it. Guaranteed not to fix it but you will feel better...momentarily. (jk).

 

Apparently mate, it's a common fault with the g29, I haven't got one myself but I know 2 people that have and they've had the same problem.. Apparently it's 2 wires internally that aren't a thick enough gauge with them being on moving parts they wear down and start activating home screens and share options and stuff. I don't know the exact details of which wires and where they are but it sounds like the same problem.

 

Thanks for the reply. I'll take that into account the next time I purchase a wheel. I returned it back to store and luckily enough they had another one which they gave to me on the spot I guess I 'll see how long this one lasts... I suspect my 2 year warranty still applies if not begins again... I doubt it but I can still hope.

Know anything about Thrustmaster reliability issues? Maybe I'll try them.

 

Don't get me wrong, the g29's are great, they just have that small fault and to be honest, all wheels and related tech all have faults in some way.. I've had a budget wheel for the past year, the thrustmaster T100 and its never missed a beat, still feels the same today as it did when I bought it, I know people whose spent fortunes on T300's and T500's and some have been faultless and some have been nightmares. I've just upgraded to a T150, just waiting for delivery and again, I've seen people have calibration problems but I also know people that have had no problems at all with them.. You can't prepare for every eventuality mate.. Bonus that your shop did a straight swap, that's a good result, no hassle and fingers crossed you'll have hassle free racing now.
