Description of the problem	My car has been running fine since purchase and i have had all the necessary maintenance done to prevent issues. Last week while driving on a major highway my cars steering wheel locked as well as stalled almost causing a major accident. When i looked it up it seems that this vehicle has been issue with campaign number: 10v621000. Albeit this is not the same issue but my vehicle has experienced fuel leakage at the same time and i have reason to believe that they are interrelated. Beyond that, there have been several complaints about the same issue on many vw forums. This is a major issue and a huge safety problem. Could you imagine the lives that could have perished if i had not handled that situation effectively. I am now told that i need to replace this part for $2000 where i truly believe volkswagen should be held liable. This company has shady business practices and i would not be surprised if this issue is due to a defective part. My car was bought in 2009 and has 76,000 miles on it.
