| Description of the problem | I was driving down the freeway in my 2 month old 2010 tiguan when a car in the left lane came over into my lane. I swerved to the right to avoid him hitting me and when i did the tiguan started jerking back and forth (left to right and back) so hard that it jerked the steering wheel out of my hands. It was all i could do to keep the car going straight. I had to hold on so tight with both hands that i wasn't even able to let go long enough to honk at the other car. |
