When the kart is flying, there is code that rotate the kart to face the road, allowing it to land smoothly instead of tumbling and crashing after a jump.
However, if one or two wheels happen to touch the ground, there is no corrective effect applied at all, while the player cannot properly alter the kart's trajectory, as all the effects applied through the wheels still in the air don't help. It can take several seconds of low-control low-speed two-wheels driving for the wheels in the air to fall back down, when for one reason or another the kart ends up on two wheels of the same side (the two left wheels or the two right wheels).
While not extremely common, and not as aggravating as some older bugs such as the hover bug, it still feels pretty bad.
