What owners wrote
Windows roll down by themselves. Parking brake applies itself without warning. Multiple warning lights saying parking brake error, start stop error, hill assist error, window sensor code, and constant dinging. Hill assist will come on even when not on a hill jarring you at higher speeds. Airbags deployed late during no fault Accident. The flaws in the vehicle didn’t cause the car accident, yet it wasn’t protecting me as it should have, but could very well cause an accident with the abrupt stopping, for no reason.
While driving a warning began to flash stating,"only exit vehicle in park position." the A/C will not blow hard and the heated seats no longer work. I am concerned about anything else electrical is not working. With equipped lane assist, I am concerned about its accuracy. The currently have acknowledged the same issue on the gti. Occurred when in motion on the highway.
