The abs sensor system has failed on our car for the 2nd time . the first time it occurred on the left rear wheel in 2019. when the system fails it triggers a multitude of dashboard alerts which are extremely distracting. obviously the automatic braking will not function. the first occurrence was at 43, 705 miles. i was told by a vw dealer mechanic that this was likely to occur on the other wheels. unfortunately he was right. the abs sensor failed on the right rear wheel yesterday at approximately 61,000. safety features that include blind side monitoring are adversely impacted. the sensor alert occurs when starting the car and stays on while operating the vehicle. the cost for the repair is in the neighborhood of $300.00

There is issue with hmi (radio) and instrument panel cluster. the screen goes freeze. this issue is sporadic, and i am concerned about safety of myself and family. i am afraid while driving suddenly instrument panel cluster ipc screen goes freeze not able to see what my vehicle speed is currently. suddenly if i am not aware what speed i am driving, the control ability of car is less leaving myself and family in vulnerable situation. another issue, hmi or radio does not backup camera view. it remains in its current screen and not able to figure out who is behind the car, leaving myself and anyone behind the car in vulnerable situation. i have captured the photo of the screen freeze in ipc and have the video of the radio where in it is not displaying the backside while i am r reverse gear. i am seeking help from the department as volkswagen has left my issue to be reproduced myself and then report to the dealership who is not trained in software issues. moreover if next time the issue occurs, i am afraid if i would be in a situation to come and report to them and do not go into some serious concerns. this issues are happening mostly when the vehicle is in motion, backup camera can be observed sporadically while vehicle is stationary. note: there is no way to upload the video, so just uploading the picture of one of the screen freeze instance.

As i have seen in your database my passat has many of the same problems. my side mirrors sometimes do not unfold or function as expected. ( vw says there is no fix ) my backup camera sometimes doesn't work ( vw says there is no fix ) my car stops for no reason thinking there is an object in front of it. not only are these problems real the car did not register any faults. these problems happened all the time yet intermittently. please note that my car was made in the usa. and exported to canada. i am in canada. due to my youtube videos i have been contacted by several vw owners many in the usa that have had the same problems and vw is not doing anything for us. i know of some that have had their cars returned via the lemon law. these problems should not be ignored any longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgmjc2qpnoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5tlkdna0xs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=momg3denetg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z90tvwwsp9y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylkam6gozu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9j7h5aorjy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i27a1wcgxng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buhhb0g11_u ***this is not a video i made but it shows a vw stopping for no reason which is how it happened to me: volkswagen front assist stops for no reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk8gvo0lnms
Today, i have a big problem with my passat, i arrived to my office this morning , and i was calling by phone with other, before close the door of my car, and i forgot to push the bottom to switch off the engine, all day i was working in my office, and after i left from my company, and back at home, the car was without gas, because all this time was on all this time, i can believe that the car alarm system never switch off the engine. i have a big complain of this one, and i would like to return my car to vw, they never told me in vw dealer that take care with this situation. i lost my time this friday because i had to call emergency help to fill fuel and lost my flight for vacation. i don't want to keep my passat and i prefer to change for other brand.
