    I can't be much help as regards solving the problem. But for safety sake take it off the road until you know whats happening and get it fixed.

    Same thing was happening my Sister-in-laws car, needed a new ignition barrel to, so far, solve the problem.

    As others have said, do not drive this car. Get it to a garage on the back of a tow truck.

    Wooooh, that is a disaster waiting to happen. Please don't drive the car again, get it towed to a garage immediately.

    I've heard of something similar to this happening on the current Passat as well though thankfully (so far) I've never had any problems.

    Thanks All,i recently adjusted steering height thing- doubt this is the cause though.Going to get checked,just thought might be a simple explanation for it.
