I tried to stop my car and the brake pedal went completely to the floor and did not stop at all. There were no warning lights on, I keep my brakes and car well maintained. My car hit the rear of another car because the brakes failed to engage when I pushed the pedal down. My car which is the vw Jetta was totaled in the accident. My insurance company geico has the car sitting at copart and it should be able to be inspected. I know the 2015-2016 vw Jetta had a recall for brake failure due to brake vacuum pump. But my 2016 doesn’t have any recalls on it. The police officer inspected the brakes at the scene.
Emergency brake handle button came off, rendering the emergency brake not functional.
My daughter was involved in a mva in which she slammed on her brakes and the brakes locked on her. She hit the rear of the other vehicle. She was going roughly 25-30 mph. She was roughly 30-40 feet away from the other vehicle when the brakes were applied. Her airbags did not deploy which considering the amount of damage done to her car is roughly $6500. I researched both issues and it seems to be a common problem in the vw Jetta.
I just bought my Jetta a week ago and as I driving I'm noticing the car takes at least a good 5 seconds to accelerate and when it does accelerate it takes off also when I hit the brakes they don't work I don't believe a car with 34,000 miles should be having these unsafe problems I'm almost scared to drive the car.

The rear brakes create a substantial residue that is noticeable over the side of the vehicle after each drive. The rear brakes sqeak and seem to be worn from the grinding sound yet the discs look fine. The brakes definitely are faulty and the vehicle only has 17k on it. I have also given gone through a tire and soon need to repair another one from side wall damage and it is at the same contact point that the wheels come to meet the outer tire. It is slicing into the tire because of how it lays on the tire. So these all may be related but the rear tires are not right. I have a 1. 8 sel 17�alloy wheels with all/season tires. The sounds comenrandomly but not when breaking in an incline or from fast speeds.
I believe my car is the result of a recent series of bad storms to hit this country and my car. I believe my car is a flood-car that has been very well cleaned inside and out, and cleaned so well that the title got a good wash, known in the industry as title-washing. I bought this car because it carried a guarantee making it a certified used car. A car that carries a certified used title of condition then one would expect nothing less than perfection. How I came to know about the possibility of a flood-car was there was what looked like river gravel deep in the cars door seal and there was a clear water-line behind where the moving part of the steering-wheel attached to the car. Now I'm unsure if y'all are able to help me with this situation, even if it's to steer me in the right direction to find resolution to my flood-car issue. I really want all my money back and start all over with something less prone to flood waters.
I drove into a parking lot 27march 2017 and proceeded to park my Jetta in a parking spot however, as I was doing so the car accelerated forward and leaped the curb. I stepped on the brake but the car would not stop until it hit 2 vehicles with my foot pressing the brake pedal and as the car impacted the other cars.
The contact owns a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. The vehicle was slot to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was applied. The brakes were also slow to respond when applied, which caused the contact to apply force to the brake pedal. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure after checking the brake system. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was not available.
The VIN number for my car is not included in the recall to update the software that affects the brake booster. Since about 2 weeks after purchasing the car it started to trigger the check engine light.
