there are issues with the emergency break system while driving. It is usually okay for the car to stop when reversing. Yesterday while driving with my children, i crossed some train track at a speed of about 30-35 miles per hour as the green light was on. As soon as i reached 75% in the tracks, all of a sudden the emergency brakes turned on, the car stopped in traffic and was about to be hit. As scary and dangerous as this was, thankfully the car in the back was able to stop in time. Despite never experiencing this before, i found out many vwg owners have had similar experiences. In order to avoid causing serious accident, i will have the dealer inspect the car and turn it off immediately. I ask for your help so there is something done about it as soon as possible. This cars needs to get recalled have the dealer fix this issue. Serious accidents and deaths can occur. Thank god my kids are fine. My neck is a little sour but i am okay.
