Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This has been reported by others and i would like to report it as well, so that vw will eventually be forced to make a recall on this malfunction. when i start my car after it has been sitting for and hour or more, i place my foot on the brake, put it either into reverse or drive, and if i am on any hill, very small or large, when i take my foot off of the brake, the car will roll downhill. the first few times this happened, i almost rolled the car over a curb and down a large embankment. the only way to stop the car is to apply the brake again, and then release the brake and quickly apply the gas. when that is done, the car very abruptly jumps into gear. |
