4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2022

I am reporting this same issue for two separate vehicles (same make, model and year): all of the sensors relating to parking, rear cross traffic, acc, etc. Fail intermittently. (they all fail as simultaneously and resolve simultaneously. ) this has now occurred on two separate cars that I have owned (same make, year and model). The first was repurchased as a lemon, but the exact issue is now present on the second car (see separate report). The issue is dangerous since these are core safety features (e. G. , rear cross traffic, emergency braking). The issue has been confirmed by a vw dealer on both vehicles. I also have photographs of the warning messages and lights on both vehicles. This problem is reported by many other owners of 2022 vw Golfs. . Read more...
