@allemands311 Hey, pal! Usually, that's either:
a) A key binding issue inside the game. The user somehow binds the same function for multiple buttons and have those triggering by mistake during gameplay - as in, I bind the "Look Left" function to the brake pedal as well as braking, so whenever I'm sweating daggers to make T1 I suddenly get the camera panning left
2) A hardware issue
You can rule "1" out by playing the game on the default, unedited wheel profile. Or create a new wheel profile based on the default and take it for a few laps.
To rule out "2", you'll need to either test the wheel on a different game, or plug it on a windows machine and have the native windows Game Controller tool open (search or run "joy.cpl"). Then go to town pressing all sorts of buttons and see if others get triggered unintentionally.

@mariohomohAppreciate the response! It's definitely not #1 as I haven't changed the binding and it just started happening recently, I've also checked the binding, and finally I can not be touching the wheel at all, and the buttons are just firing off like crazy.
So it's probably #2, which presents a problem for me as I only have 1 computer in my house, and it's a Mac, so I have no access to Windows.
I did remember my kid downloaded Nascar Heat 5 a while back, so I tested that game and the same issue persisted with phantom button pressing so definitely a wheel issue.- @allemands311 No experience with macOS but there should be a similar tool? Or even Logitech G Hub for Mac?
Perhaps Steam has a feature that let's you remap buttons and so test it out?
Well, that's all besides the point now since you've seemed to have narrowed down the source. Sorry about your wheel giving up, pal haha
Logitech's G29/G920/G923 are quite serviceable though, with plenty of content online for them. If the issue is that bad, try looking up a guide on how to disassemble and clean the wheel.A bit left field here but how have you attached the wheel to your rig and what is your FFB strength? Just from personal experience, my wheel was attached to a stand but with the feedback being too strong, every time I went over a bump, it would cause a button press. On a PS5 it would smack me back to the Home screen or into a flashback assigned button. Not sure if it was a clipping issue or just the shock from the bump.
Try turning the FFB strength down, you never know.
