One such example....a Chinook decides upon its own to yaw left then roll inverted...and refusing to allow the Pilots to move the flight controls to combat the actions of the aircraft in a "normal" manner.

Just wow!
Did the accident board uncover the source of the problem?
By the account, this was a top tier crew which went the extra mile to be sure they had a fully serviceable aircraft, yet they were almost killed by it.
