Description of the problem	I have a 09 tiguan. The power steering failure first happened when i was driving from seattle to spokane, wa. It's a 300-mile, 5-hour drive. I stopped about half way at a rest stop and when i restarted the car again, the steering wheel started shaking rapidly back and forth. Then the red light of power steering assist failure came on. I restarted the car several more times, but the problem continued. So i had to drive the car without power steering. Fortunately the road is pretty much straight from that point on. Just imagine what if the power steering failed when the car's still running. When i reached spokane, it was kinds late. My plan was to get the car to a dealer first thing next day, but when i started the car the next day, the problem disappeared and it didn't happen again during my 5-day stay in spokane. However, when i drove the car back to seattle, the same problem appeared again. I finally took the car to a vw dealer. They told me they found the problem stored in steering rack and in order to fix this, the whole steering rack needed to be replaced. The job was quoted about $1,900. Also the dealer thinks vw needs to at least cover part of the fix, so they filed the paperwork. But vw denied any kind of coverage. I ended up paying for everything. After searching online, i found dozens of other tiguan owners who have experienced the same problem. I'm no car expert, but this is a very serious safety issue with the tiguan and can even be a design flaw from vw. Vw needs to put this problem into its recall list asap! P. S. I found a youtube video showing the exact same problem of the power steering failure. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=7dz-1u8twvc. . . . Updated 07-16-15 bf updated 9/21/2015js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
