Service Brakes problem #1

The Volkswagen front assist (sometimes referred to as forward collision warning) system employed without having anything/anyone in front of the vehicle - no traffic in front, behind or on the side and the brakes engaged the brought the car to a complete stop in the street. This has been reported to Volkswagen and we have been told that their engineers are working on this issue but the vehicle is safe to drive. The day was a clear day. Date is approximate - I don't have my phone on me with the photo.

Service Brakes problem #2

The breaks is very weak I was going to hit the car at the front of me with 1 inch ! it took the car like 4 seconds to stop not sure was it just the breaks or the breaks and tires , the car kept moving after pressing the breaks hard enough , I was shaking since I just got the car 4 days ago !.
