On tuesday, august 4, 2015, i was driving my leased 2014 jetta with my 1 year old baby, when my brakes completely locked up. Unfortunately, at the time, we happened to be at a stop sign on a steep hill about a half a block from our house.

This issue now occurs every day. This vehicle has push button start, which means the brake pedal must be depressed before attempting to start the vehicle. When attempting to start the vehicle after it has been sitting for more than 3 hours, the brake pedal is extremely difficult to depress as there is pressure built up in the brake system. On the first dealer visit, the brake booster check valve was replaced under…
