Description of the problem	I am at the burger king drive thru jan 23, 2021, there are a few cars ahead of me. I sit at driver thru with foot on the brake about 3 to 5 minutes, when the car in front of me moves closer to pick up his food, i let off of the brake and drift forward as i get closer to car in front of me , i press the brake and the pedal goes all the way to the floor. I press harder and my car bangs directly into the back of a 2015 camara that has been garaged kept and has only 3,000 miles on it. I give the driver my phone number. Very minor damage to his car and only damage my license plate area. I pulled my car into the parking lot , turned off ignition, i then started pumping my brakes and eventually the brakes felt much stiffer after about 15 pumps of the brake pedal . One week prior to this , i took my car to the vw dealership for oil change and specifically asked for them to check my brakes and tires. I was told when i picked up my car that tires should be replace in about 5,000 more miles,but my brakes were fine. My car just passed 40,000 miles on the odometer 2 days after the oil change. Yesterday jan 25 ,2021 , i took the car to vw dealership explaining what had happened, today is jan 26 they kept the car over night waiting to hear back from specialist from vw. Meanwhile i searched internet for info. That is when i reached this site. Also my forward collision should have come before i made contact with the car i hit at burger king. I seriously don't want anything to do with this vehicle anymore. I don't trust it. I also injured my leg pressing so hard on the brake pedal.
