Whenever driving in rain breaks give out and feels bumpy. today i was driving to school and i started to break for a light and almost rear-ended the car in font of me because my breaks wouldn't break. i was going 55 mph.
I was traveling on the highway with the cruise control on at 65 mph and it suddenly slowed down or disengaged for no reason. i didn't think much of it and returned to the same speed and turned on the cruise again. then about 15 minutes later, when traffic begin to slow ahead, i tried hitting the brakes and had zero braking ability. the cruise did not disengage and i had to pull the e brake to get the car to slow down causing the car to fish tail and almost hit a concrete barrier.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 volkswagen jetta. while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact attempted to slow down by depressing the brake pedal; however, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated. the contact had to push the start button and shift into park to stop the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact also stated that the failure occurred approximately four times in one month and was worsening. the vehicle was taken to volkswagen van nuys (6115 van nuys blvd, van nuys, ca 91401) where it was awaiting diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 8,400.
Takara recall- my brakes jammed up and would not stop, which resulted in a vehicle collision on november 29, 2018. i tried pressing the brakes, however, they just would not stop. i was driving home on a city street. they had done this after i got them serviced before and i notified the dealership, however, i was told they were fine.
I was driving down a busy city street, going about 30 mph. i noticed the car in front of me was stopped from 100 feet back and i slammed on my brakes. my car did not stop, it did not slow down at all. the weather was warm, the road was dry and it was like trying to stop on an icy road and i rear ended the car in front of me. my air bags did not deploy either. the other car had minimal damage to her back bumper. she was injured, i had minor whiplash.
While traveling down the road i realized dead ended, i attempted to apply my brakes at which time they did not work, i looked to ensure nothing was under it and when i seen there was nothing attempted to apply again, unfortunately they did not work again. i ended up crashing into a barrier and totaled the vehiucle and sustain injuries because of the defect.
I needed to make a left hand turn from a street into a complex, was still moving at approximately 25mph and when i went to apply the brakes, the vehicle was not slowing or stopping. as i continued trying to make the turn, the vehicle did not slow down until i hit the curb and later the wall where i came to a stop.
The brakes make noise upon starting to brake and this has been happening since we owned it . took it to the dealer which is gerald jones vw august's ga and they didn't look at it but o my tipped off the oil . they said the brake system doesn't come with a courtesy check . also there were small dents in the car from the beginning that i made the dealer aware of and he blamed me . even though o did i soft w him several brand new cars on the lot with small dents that looked the same . i think it needs to be repaired and free of charge
