Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My car stalled on me 4 times between may 2018- december 2019. When the car stalls, the steering wheel locks and it feels like the entire car ceases to have power. 3 out of 4 times the car was in motion. 1 out of 4 times another car was hit due to the stall. In another 1 out of 4 times, there was almost a life threatening accident as the car was in motion, the steering wheel locked and i ended up on the opposite side of the road of traffic. Transportation canada has been notified of the safety concerns (i am located in toronto, on, canada and all incidents occurred in toronto). Volkswagen cannot determine the cause and have not provided a solution or a normal course of action to this safety concern. I am pregnant now and even more concerned. My car was bought brand new from the dealership in 2013 and has only been serviced at volkswagen - it is in very good condition besides this reoccurring safety issue.
