Mass Effect Hints
Glitch Warning
1 of 3: On rare occasions, the Mako may glitch really badly after you shoot down some enemies on foot and try to get back in it. (This has only been confirmed on the unpatched PC version of the game.)
2 of 3: What happens is that the Mako starts jumping around wildly, as if possessed, as soon as you enter it. You'll have absolutely no control over it, so the only thing you can do is restore a save and hope you didn't lose much progress.
3 of 3: Due to this, I advise you to quicksave before approaching a group of enemies that you want to kill on foot. That way, if the Mako glitch happens, you'll only have to redo that one combat.
