“Ever since I picked this car up I've noticed that it's been having constant electrical gremlins. Some days things will work some days things will not work. But the issue that I'm writing about is that earlier this week on a Monday I went to go to a local charger. When I was done charging about 10 minutes later I was pulling out of a parking lot and coasting to a stop to get on the main road. However even though I was pressing the brake pedal the car suddenly lurched forward and started accelerating. …”

“The automatic cruise control failed and disengage with a sudden braking. After that the following warnings appear: Front assist has limited availability, rear traffic is currently not available, proximity sensors malfunctioning. I took the vehicle to service and diagnostic suggested the replacement of brake booster. Service department recommended a replacement a cost of $2,800 as the vehicle is out of warranty (more than 50K miles), I paid $295 for diagnostic. I currently don't have the funds for repair. Failure of braking system is a serious matter. …”

“Was backing into my driveway and the brake pedal went hard and almost backed in to my garage. All kinds of warning starting popping on and a message appeared Brake Booster is Limited . I only stopped the vehicle by pressing really hard but since I was already moving slow the vehicle came to a stop. If I would have been driving in regular traffic I would have never ben able to stop. Many system lights also came on and the vehicle is not drivable and I will have to get it towed to VW. The vehicle is only a month old with 1200 miles on it.”

“The car has now 3 times over the last year suddenly lurched forward while braking and pulling into a parking spot. The first time it went over a curb and into a yard. We thought it could be a mistake, but my wife, driving, has never had an accident in 40 years driving. Happened again, and we thought maybe it had something to do with cruise control and hepatic sensitive buttons. But we keep that system off unless we are on the highway. This time it lurched forward but she managed to get it to stop just as it touched the parked car in front. No damage. Foot was on the brake as coming to a stop. …”
