The assisted lane control is working terribly on my car and cannot be turned off permanently.the take over steering must be turned off before i drive the car every single time.it does not work properly.last week i went to steer around a pothole and almost went in the ditch because the steering control was "fighting" with me to not let me steer where i needed to go.the previous incident i was trying to go around a cyclist and had to literally fight with my steering to keep it from hitting the biker.it is terrible.the dealer told me it could not be permanently disabled.it is a hazard and someone is going to get hurt.the service rep told me that nhtsa has made it mandatory for the car manufacturers to have these safety features disabled by default with no way to permanently turn them off.i want to stress how unsafe this is.i truly believe there are many things government can help us with but to get in the middle of me steering my car is not one of them.this is government overreach.the vw customer care person i spoke to also told me they have been plagued with complaints from owners who want the steering control disabled.there is a setting to disable it, but i have to remember to turn it off every single time i start my car.i want the nhtsa to (1) put pressure on vw to fix the steering assist problem and allow for steering changes to safely pass bikers and other vehicles on the shoulder without needing the directional signal and (2) make the assist something that can be turned off by default.i do like to use it when i am on a long highway drive, but never around town.it is terrible and beeps and takes control of the steering and i am tired of fighting with my car.someone will get killed if you leave it like this.people need to decide for themselves if they want the steering assist or not.default on needs to end when a person turns it off - it stays off until they turn explicitly it back on.
Vw lane assist is on when the vehicle is turned on. It must be turned off by the driver which i forget to do. Driving on country two lanes i've encountered joggers, bikers in the designated bike lane, service vehicles on the right shoulder. When i give them some extra room to avoid them the active lane assist steers the car towards the people i'm trying to avoid. If the road is pitched enough the lane assist steering is rather abrupt. There is no feature that allows lane assist to be disabled and manually re-enabled when needed. The best solution would be to allow lane assist only when the active cruise control is active.
