“I have a 2023 VW GTI with a manual transmission. It has a feature called Hill Hold Assist , where it enables the parking brake when you are uphill and at a stop, at a red traffic light, for example. The issue is the feature does not disengage the parking brake for about 3 seconds after you engage the gas to begin moving the car. It basically holds the car for too long when you are trying to get moving. …”
