What owners wrote
I have owned this used vehicle for 3 months. When attempting to apply the brake at low speed (10-15MPH) the brake pedal stuck in place and would not go down. This brake failure resulted in an accident. During said accident, at low impact, the airbag was triggered to deploy. This leads me to believe the airbag or sensor is defective, as I have been in a much more serious accident with an older jetta that did not result in airbag deployment.
When I press brake on freeways , I felt like my car stopped because it wont give smooth brake ,I don't put hard and sudden brakes , it will like go front and back and will stop. My volks suspension are too bad . I am, using 2015 volks jetta my transmission will show me all the gears from first to final , I can feel when it gets pick up. I have told my dealer but they don't care. My steering wheel always going pulling left side when ever I drive .
