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.

The vehicle will stop itself while in motion through the automatic braking system at random times, both in traffic and when no other vehicles are around. The warning will show up in the gauge cluster and the car will quickly come to a stop. This has happened on at least 4 occasions. The dealer has stated there are no faults.

The auto break feature will illuminate on the dashboard and then send my car to a screeching halt. It takes me on average 5 seconds to regain control of my brakes. It has happened exiting businesses (small curbs) but also on the main streets with no one else around going upwards of 45 mph. The infotainment system that houses the parking and rear view safety features as well as navigation also does not work when the car is left outside in weather above 80 degrees. The ac is also unable to cool when the weather is above 80 degrees all of these ‘safety features’ make the car dangerous.
