Lane Departure, forward Collision Avoidance
07/01/2024
Travel Assist is disabled which includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist. The warning lights flash on and off, sometimes multiple times a second, sounding a loud beeping each time. The flashing lights and associated rapid beeping indicating the failure is extremely distracting while driving. Warning lights and warning sounds are designed to alert the driver to a potential safety issue so ignoring the lights and sounds is dangerous in the event it is a different caution/warning. However, also not ignoring it is dangerous because of the frequency of the warnings which causes the driver to look away from the road.concern. I took the car to get this problem fix and after 9 days they call me to go get the car that was ready for pick up but next day the problem comeback also to get appointmants takes weeks im very concern about this isssue

Exterior Lighting
08/20/2024
The interior dome lights are touch controlled. on multiple occasions the dome lights have randomly started turning on and off and becoming generally unresponsive. One of the occasions happened at night while driving causing significant visual impairment and distraction. having a bright LED interior light in your eyes really messes with your exterior visibility as well as constantly trying to turn it off with the controls being unresponsive makes it doubly dangerous. After multiple trips to the Volkswagen dealer, the issue is still unresolved as they can't "duplicate" the issue (despite me providing video evidence) and are speculating it's and electrical issue caused by a malfunctioning 3rd brake light (which they have also been unable to fix). there are no warning lights associated with the dome lights malfunctioning. additionally, cursory research online (forums such as reddit and VW Vortex) indicate that this issue is not unique to my car but present in several VW models including th...

Power Train

Last night when driving home, I came to a stop at a red light. I put the car in first gear and held the brake, waiting for the light to turn green. When the light turned green, I proceeded to drive like normal, when suddenly I stalled out! I felt like my e-brake was on, but it clearly wasn't. I started the car back up and the same thing happened. I had cars piling up behind me and the one closest to me I could tell was very close to making contact with me. On the third attempt, I overpowered the system and "pushed through" the brake, which I know wasn't good for the vehicle. I was very confused what might have been going on as I'm a pretty experienced driver and have never encountered this kind of thing before, at all. Upon researching, I've found within the VW community, the problem is tied to the hill-assist feature. Apparently in the MK8 Volkswagen manuals, the hill-assist was changed from previous generations and now when you are in gear and release the brake, you have to wait fo...
