Hill hold assist takes exactly three seconds to release automatically. However, this has resulted in drivers behind to almost hit me as my vehicle cannot move forward even after depressing thr clutch and pressing the throttle. This has resulted in several near collisions. Vw refuses to address this safety concern.
Backup camera, parking sensors, traffic sensors, a/c frequently are disabled. “component protection mode” is activated and it says it must be taken to the dealer for these items to work. I must manually reset the system in order to get these to work, resetting the system only sometimes fixes the issue. It makes parking and backing out of spots very dangerous at times. Vw has stated they were working a on a fix for a long time but it has never come and makes this car unsafe at times.
