I purchased a new volkswagen jetta 2011, it has 3700 miles on board, during my trip to work (my speed was about 35m/h) before the intersection i tried to brake on red light, and my brakes did not work, they just stopped working, i pressed brake pedal 3 times till it began working again. i passed the intersection line and fortunately there was no any cars in front of me and very fortunately my speed was low. what could happen if i were on highway? that event happened after 3 days i passed service check at dealership. my car was towed to dealership and it was checked. after i was called for test drive and they were convincing me that everything was fine with the car, computer really showed 0 problems. i did not want to pick up my car and asked them to test the car till the problem appears again, because i think that is very major problem. in the end the problem occurred, and they realized that the problem really had place. i was given a report from volkswagen service and i saw that the cause was: internal failure at brake master cylinder, so they replaced: 1 master cylinder, 2 brake fluid and 1 gasket were replaced. it means that car really had a problem in spite it is new. now i am afraid the same problem not to occur again. i am trying to replace the car, but volkswagen does not do that, they tell me that the car was repaired under warranty. now, when i am driving that car, i always try my brakes, before intersection, on highways and everywhere. i do not want to drive that car anymore, i always think that the same problem may occur again and it can cause a real accident. *tr
