Description of the problem | I was driving down a side road in a parking lot with no cars in front of me and no one in back of me. Suddenly the car braked and threw me forward. It scared the living daylights out of me. There was no reason why this happened. There was nothing in the road. I reported this problem to volkswagen and they had no answer and told me to disable the braking sensor which i did. I felt the need to report this issue since i felt this was a possible defect in the braking sensor. If this would have happened on a busy road i could have been hit from behind. Again there was no reason for the sudden braking. This is a leased car and when i turn it in i just want to let them know that the sensor is turned off for the next person who leases it and has no idea it is turned off. In summary, i was going around 35-40 mph when this braking occurred with no reason whatsover. Thank you for your time. |
