Description of the problem | The car is 6 months old. We have 5 documented cases of the vehicle stopping/braking on it's own for no reason. The dealer and vw corporate do not have a fix and suggested we keep driving it to get more documented occurrences. The vehicle poses an extreme safety risk at this time due to faulty braking assist mechanisms. 2 of the 5 occurrences involved it throwing the parking brake on by itself and the other 3 were drastic slow downs with nothing around. All incidents reports are attached and are exactly what was turned into the dealer and vw corporate. |
