Description of the problem | I bought a brand new 2015 vw jetta in june 2015 in san jose, ca. On 7th nov 2015 i was in this jetta with my family, driving at 70 mph. Traffic started slowing down and i tried braking but i had almost no brakes. There were no warnings in the vehicle to let me know there was a failure. Fortunately i was in the extreme right lane and swerved to get on to the shoulder of the road to avoid hitting other cars. My family and i and others may have been killed or injured. Volkswagen says they will look into it and are will decide if this is covered under warranty. Meanwhile i am without a car and they do not know when they will get it fixed. |
