Description of the problem | Automatic braking system is faulty. When i pull out of driveways or parking lots the sensors are activating and the maneuver braking is applied and the car comes to an abrubt stop in the middle of the road. Everytime this has occured there has not been an object or car present. This system is faulty and dangerous. I have 3 children in the back seat and this makes me very concerned for their safety when i drive this vehicle. Vw service is looking into the issue and has given me a loaner atlas that is doing the exact same thing. I have a video of the issue occuring. |
