Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

Activates while driving on a flat road at random.

While slow8ng to a stop the emergency brake is activating. Auto start stop malfunction warning appears on dash. Takes a minute to get the emergency brake to release. Happened several times in 2 days.

Engine keeps failing and dings while driving non-stop. Causes the vehicle to think there is another vehicle near me and activates the emergency braking in the middle of the highway almost causing me to crash. I have taken the vehicle to dealer and told it is fixed about 8 times now.

The automatic emergency braking activated and slammed on the brakes, for no apparent cause. There were no cars, people, animals around. And luckily, no car was behind mine. This has happened numerous times previously, especially when going through roundabouts and downhill. This issue needs to be addressed by vw. I have mentioned it to service at a vw dealer, and they just tell you to turn off the front brake assist, but that is not a solution. Plus, you would have to turn it off every time you start your car.

My front assist function malfunctioned. I was driving at a speed of 50mph and the car came to an immediate stop. The seat belt restraints almost choked me, and the sudden stop jarred me. There was nothing in the front of me when this happened. I've been terrified every since it happened. It happened twice before, but this third time was the worst. The next morning I contacted vw, and took my car in. They test drove my car. I was told they didn't find anything wrong, and to come pick up my vehicle. I expressed to them that something definitely was wrong. I suggested them do more diagnostics, but they did not. I called corporate and nothing has been done. They did document my claim and gave me a claim number. In the meantime I started doing some investigations. There is a class action lawsuit investigation going on. I also found a youtube video of this incident happening on another vehicle.

I was driving with a friend in car doing speed limit and all of of sudden the red vehicle accident image came on the car shuddered and the auto brakes came on this was the second time it has happened my friend freaked out I bot it in sept 18 and it happened a couple months after that I immediately called vw.
