While driving in heavy ma traffic the front breaks of my 2003 jetta tdi locked up. I had to pull over and it took me 30 minutes to get the brakes to release. I took the car to the dealership and they refused to fix the problem because they could not duplicate it. They have had my car for 11 days and they still refuse to repair the car.
