Description of the problem	I was stopped at a red light headed up hill. The light turned green i released the brakes & clutch while pushing the gas pedal. Much to my surprise this killed the engine. (i have driven sticks shifts for 50 years.) the car stopped abruptly. The car behind me having seen my brake lights go off and my car begin to move had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting me. His honking and rude gestures were not necessary, but understandable. We were probably both cursing, i know i was. Complaining to the dealer i was amazed to learn it was supposed to do this! In addition, since the then i have figured out that if one sets the handbrake to soon the electronics will eventually release the hydraulic pressure and the parking brake which had been pulled to the full extent of its travel now has several more clicks left to go and is not fully set. We learned this when the unoccupied car rolled down the driveway into a tree across the street. We were not pleased. (vw of america, however, was not concerned.) to really keep us guessing this "feature" does not consistently activate - there is a range of degrees of slope where it may or may not come into play. Having it not hold when one expects it to has caused minor damage and several more close calls. Vwoa will not allow dealers to deactivate. Trying to replace the car with something more drivable i have learned this has become a widespread curse on many newer vehicles, even those with automatic transmissions. This idea is not only wrong it is wrong-headed. How in god's name can a deliberate brake malfunction be palmed off as a "safety feature". And if there are people so incompetent as to need or want this, why must the rest of us be plagued with it. Like most answers to any question no one has asked it is wrong. It is wrong and dangerous. And in case you hadn't noticed, annoying.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
