While driving a 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI at approximately 75mph on a busy highway under clear/sunny conditions, the Emergency Assist Braking system suddenly malfunctioned.

The "Hill Start Assist" function does not behave as-stated in the owner's manual and I believe the way it's implemented is a potential safety issue. The manual states: "To start driving, take your foot off the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal immediately. The brakes will release gradually as you start driving. The holding function of the Hill St…

I have taken my vehicle to the dealers…

Travel Assist is disabled which includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist. The warning lights flash on and off, sometimes multiple times a second, sounding a loud beeping each time. It is triggered at engine start and persists through all speeds. I have experienced it 0-70 mph. The flashing lights and associated rapid beeping indicating the fail…

Automatic Hill assist uses excessive brake force and for too long of a duration. This causes the vehicle to stall. Road inclination activation point of Hill assist is too sensitive. Brakes hold when it shouldn't. This is a factory default setting. Vehicle has stalled several times in traffic. This could potentially be a hazard of it happens in an emergenc…

On Wednesday October 15th, 2025 something occurred either via an update or on the back-end of VW's connected services platforms that started causing infotainment system crashes on various VW-brand vehicles across the United States. At this time, 3 days later, the infotainment system will boot up, freeze, reboot again, freeze again, do this 2-3 more times be…
