2019 Volkswagen Atlas Steering Problems

“Vehicle has 11k miles. Took the vehicle in to repair a tire with a nail. My alignment was off (I thought I was feeling a shake anyway). Had the alignment fixed but a week later (first time on the highway) my vehicle is shaking far too much to be the road. All tires are in good shape as they were checked during the alignment.

This was very troubling as I have never been in a new vehicle with this issue. On july 9, 2020, I returned the car with the same steering issue and to have the oil changed.

“Vehicle would turn off while in drive. Originally happened when going in reverse up a hill, vehicle warning to put into park and manually restart. Happened 2 more times and was brought in for repair. Dealership was unable to duplicate the issue. It happened again and was brought back to the dealership.
