The brakes will completely fail. The peddle goes just about all the way to the floor when pressed. There still is a small amount of braking and the vehicle slows down but nothing like when the brakes work right. Now this happens at the most random times. It won’t do it for months then start doing it out of the blue. When we bought it used it was doing this all the time. Our mechanic said it needed the brake sensors replaced and it could use pads and rotors. I visually inspected them and he was right so we said do it all. We got the vehicle back and it was great. We couldn’t believe how great it went down the road and stopped. Then a month later it had one of its brake spasms again. Lasted a day. Then nothing. Happened yesterday all day then fine today. I wish vw had an answer for it. You would think after 15 years they would have it fixed by now.
The clock spring sound a lot, when you do a turn , and it sound a lot , moving the wheel, the brakes have a sound when you are go in down the hill , seems like the car want to stop ,like some body is pushing the brakes.
Was driving air bag never came out the impact was front.
The parking break sets itself whenever the vehicle is in park. Also, when you depress the brakes and come to a stop, it will not roll forward or move until the gas is pressed. The necessity of pressing the gas to move at all is also the case in reverse.
