Description of the problem | My vehicle's front assist collision sensor will engage itself while going down some driveways regardless of how slow or angled i try to exit (i always make sure that my exit and turns are safe from any ongoing traffic so the sensor is only being tripped from ground in front of the sensor). I have been almost been rear ended three times because of this and almost hit from the side when the the sensor engaged when i was more than halfway out into the first lane to make my turn. I have engaged several vw service technicians about a permanent fix but they said that they are aware of the problem after hearing of several other complaints but there is no permanent fix. It is the driver's responisbility to manually turn off the front assist collision sensor each and every time you intend to drive the car. |
