I replaced my brakes with brand new brakes less than 6 months ago and still have all of the same issues. My brakes constantly lock, i've never been able to do a hardstop with this car for the 4 years i've owned it. I've avoided accidents by moving my steering wheel left and right to avoid other vehicles because my brakes lock pretty much every time. It scares me to drive this car with my 2 year old in the back seat.…

After the tdi issue and 10 mpg less with the fix, i am…

The abs system went out of control, all of the sudden the lights on the dashboard where on. The car was in motion when this happened it was a scary situation! There is a local volkswagen near my house and this people suggest me to change the entire abs pump, vacuum pump and they got the nerve to charge me for the car revision when they knew this car is on recall.
