37 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2013

My 2014 Passat tdi vehicle pulls to the right . . . On highway, in right lane, will move right off the road in less than 7 seconds if hands are not on the wheel. Dealer made some improvements . . . . Ie before it would run off the road in less than 3 seconds. Vw field representation claims this is normal effect of road crown and refuses to correct the condition. I drove a Passat ( non diesel ) that drove fine. . . I drove a 2015 Passat diesel that was better but still had excessive pull from road crown. I'm constantly fighting the vehicle to stay on the highway. . . . Especially while driving in the right lane. This is a safety issue to me . . . . . Vehicle will not stay on the road!.
