Suspension Noise Problems of Volkswagen Atlas

At roughly 5000 miles 2018 Volkswagen Atlas se 2. 0t began having a lot of noise coming from the front suspension. Noise happened mostly at lower speeds and was a rattle as well as a bottoming out sound. Vehicle was also pulling hard to the right and alignment seemed to be off. Vehicle was taken into vw dealership for repairs. Initial report was that the front boots were leaking grease and thought to be the cause of the problem, boots were replaced and technicians still noted a sound coming from the same area. Steering and axle parts were overnighted 4 times, each part not fixing the problem. Vehicle is still at the dealership. Axle and alignment problems could potentially lead to the vehicle being pulled out of the lane of travel and cause a wreck. Dealership reports that they are not responsible for the alignment of the vehicle.

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.
