AWB settings shift randomly

[gwshark]

This problem/glitch has occured about 5 times, most recently today.   I'll be shooting with my camera on AWB with no adjustment settings and suddenly I'll notice my images start looking really magenta, or really green.   The first time it happened I couldn't figure it out until I dug into my manual and found the menu that allows you to adjust the auto white balance.  I've never used this setting before, so I was surprised to see that it had been moved to all the way left so everything was very cyan.   I move it back to neutral and it doesn't happen again... until it does.  Today I'm shooting with it and I notice that the images shifted completely magenta.  I know what to look for now so I go to the setting and there it is... the AWB adjustment is all the way right.   What is going on here???   I have no Q menu setting for AWB adjustment, I'm not even sure that's a thing.  So how can this be happening?  Is this a know issue with this camera?
