Description of the problem | The steering wheel of my 2018 atlas front wheel drive shakes when stepping on the gas from stop when the road is wet. I took it to the dealer 3 times and i was told that this is how the esp works. I even talked to vw customer service and i received a letter that my vehicle is performing as designed. I've driven front wheel drives before and never experienced this type of issue. I am concerned that there might be a hidden issue that is hiding right now and may cause an accident in the future. I've searched the atlas forums and no one is experiencing this issue. |
