Description of the problem | My 2019 jetta began experiencing breaking problems in less than 2 months after purchasing the vehicle. After initial start and drive at idle, the breaking pedal pressure was erratic and causing the car to slam to a complete stop. This condition only seems to occur at idle, and i was told at bringing it into service that the vehicle was operating normally. However, the condition continues to exist and beginning in june, i began having multiple check engine lights for a evap leak. Now at the 7 repairs and having multiple parts replaced, the service at the dealership states that the air intake needed to be replaced. My understanding is the air intake and vacuum systems have a direct correlation with the brake booster pressure. However, i returned the vehicle for service because the readiness monitors for the evap were not set, indicating that a potential issues still exist. Although the cause may not be with air intake, a vacuum/pressure issue does exits causing effects on the other systems. This is very frustrating due to the fact that i had injured my leg in the previous year and the excessive pressure at breaking caused me aggravate the previous injury. On several occasions, i was told be the dealer service that the vehicle was operating normally. |
