Same behavior as well. P3d 4.5 HF 3, NGXu on a flight from KPHL to TJSJ. About 200 miles out of San Juan, a line of thunderstorms appeared. Autopilot started an uncommanded slow turn to the right. I disconnected autopilot and then went into a steep bank/dive. If this happens again, I’ll try shutting down AS.

I have very simular occurrence (just by behavior) with not PMDG one but Feelthere E170 and Carenado PC12. and not with ASP3DB3, but after I uninstall it's P4 interface (the one under mydocument\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons) and use back to ASforP3Dv4.
Hard to tell if my instatnce have anything to do with ASP3D, but giving the similarity with your one and the only major change on my sim was indeed install of ASP3D, I 'll try if I can resolve it with uninstall of b3 (and for V4, then reinstall forV4).
Detail of my occurrence are here

Same issue for me in PMDG 747. Also getting massive stutters that I had not seen before when ASP3D is updating while flying the QW 787

I did two flights yesterday with Prepar3dv5 and PMDG 748. I used weather radar on both legs, not extending 80nm range and everything was fine. No issues with controllability of an aircraft. Radar worked since I saw returns of nearby thunderstorms.

Similar problem with PMDG737 NGX in v4.5. ND freeze, when WXR active and range greater than 80 nm. AP did not maintain heading. Solved by switching Main panel switch from Normal to ENG PRI and back to Normal.

Just experienced this as well while flying to Hong Kong. Was extremely frustrating! Turning of wx radar resolved the issue.

Same for me - P3d 4.5 HF 3 - PMDG 747-8F - ASP3D Beta#3.
Next waypoint in flightplan is not tracked, Altitude loss, Speed loss.
Selecting "Heading Control" shows no reaction, altitude control does not work any more (V/S or FLCH).
After switching off ASP3D application everything back to normal.

(However, reproducable CTD doe not happen any more on my machine with Beta#3)

Can confirm the issue with the choppy displays in P3Dv4.5 HF3 with the PMDG NGX. As soon as I increased the range of the WXR beyond 80nm the displays of the plane became extremly choppy and the plane stopped following the flightplan. It also lead to the inputs becoming very erratic, like it only one input every few seconds.

I also have this issue. But I also experience a CTD when switching from outside to cockpit view with the 747 and ASP3D active...

just did an 8 hour flight egss- panc everything ok until just before tod. pmdg 748F aircraft started to vear off track, and became unresponsive to control inputs. wx zoom 160. shutting down active sky fixed the issue, and after restarting the app all appeared ok, apart from some dubious looking popcorn clouds on the horizon. i am also using the updated asca program.

When the issue appears, just switch ND back to 80nm to make it disappear.It works for me,I think it should work for you too.No need to switch ASP3D off.
Hope this helps

Cheers
