  1. Has anyone experienced their front assist coming on for no reason and locking the steering wheel? I was driving recently at between 50-60mph on an open road when suddenly my front assist started bleeping and wouldn't stop. Worse than that, it completely locked my steering wheel. I came to a round about and put my hazards on and turned the car off. I turned it back on and started to go but the steering wheel was still locked. With a lot of effort and all my strength I managed to turn the wheel enough to get off the roundabout. I managed to find somewhere safe to stop and again turned the car off and removed my keys. This seemed to work and I could move the steering wheel again. Safe to say I turned front assist off following this as I did not want it to happen again. I understand that a number of VW cars had this same issue and it caused a lot of accidents. I will be reporting it to Skoda today, but first wanted to see if anyone else has experienced similar! Thanks!
