| Description of the problem | Powersteering fails intermittently, steering wheel wobbles without user intervention occasionally (at red light). Issue seems released to electrical power steering rack or control box, but vw does not seem to acknowledge this is a frequently reported problem. When does it happen: 1. After parking car, power steering is completely off, slowly driving for 20-30 sec so far brought it back. However, steering is not accurate (sometimes very light and wobble starts). After overnight parking things seem fine 2. On highway, after 20 mins drive steering became rather erratic with difficulties to keep car on the lane, after exit and stop engine and restart things were fine again. Happened several times. Can send video showing wobbling of steering wheel... |
