Two problems related to steering noise have been reported for the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas based on all problems reported for the 2018 Atlas.
Noise coming from transmission at take off; passenger driver side and driver side door weathering seal coming off; noise coming from steering when turning sounds like upper suspension mount faulty.
The driver side, front wheel suspension system has been replaced twice due loud vibration noises, rattling noises, and repeated steering issues. The steering wheel violently jerks to the right or left and pulls the car out of the desired direction of travel. The vw Atlas is at the dealership service department for a third time since date of pirchase (Feb 2018) for the same steering issues and noise issues. The �auto-braking� system that's designed to prevent rear end collissions has malfunctioned on two separate occasions. Both malfunctions were when pulling out of a parking lot with a downgraded slope toward the street. On both occasions, as I was pulling out of the parking lot to merge into moving traffic, the electronic braking system engaged as the car was moving down the sloped parking lot exit leaving the vw Atlas frozen in place as street traffic was rapidly approaching. I had to put the vw Atlas in �park� and back in �drive� in order to release the electronic break system. This auto-breaking feature has created to safety situations where my vw Atlas was completely stopped while attempting to merge with moving traffic, nearly causing accidents in both situations.
