I believe there is a fire risk. Attached is a picture of the fuse block and a device attached to an empty fuse location. Correct procedure is to attach here with a fuse. Instead they attached a wire to the hot side of a fuse location that has no fuse. This small red wire goes to the device. The device is fused and a small black wire comes off the device to a ground . The problem is that the red wire itself is not protected for about a foot until there is the inline fuse. If this wire shor

20251115CrashBACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

The rearview camera and rear cross-traffic alert system in my vehicle failed to function while I was reversing. The camera screen went completely black, and the cross-traffic warning did not activate. Because I had no visibility behind the vehicle and received no alerts, I backed into a neighbor’s mailbox post. The impact damaged my rear right turning lights and the mailbox post. These safety systems are critical for preventing collisions, and their unexpected failure created a significant saf

20251017SERVICE BRAKES

The cars brakes randomly firm and grab hard, or in other cases are soft and require the drive to depress them twice or three times as much as when they are firm, or they needed to be pumped to engage as expected. This car has been inspected by the manufacturer and not issues were found. A similar concern was reported by consumer reports in their review. “feeble and inconsistent brake pedal feel” This has caused numerous issues of unintended hard braking when you need to stop quickly.

Was driving out of a parking lot. I was in a full stop and had the car in drive. When staring to move from a full stop the car started to go in reverse. I was on a decline. I tried reassuring the car was in drive and when pressing the peddle it went backward. The d light was on but going in reverse when the pedal was pressed. Had to put the car in park and again in drive to get out of this bug.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the car manual provided for my Volkswagen. The current manual is abridged, which makes it challenging to understand all of the car's functions. This lack of comprehensive instructions can be particularly difficult and unsafe, especially when attempting to operate certain features while driving. A fully unabridged manual would greatly assist in understanding how to properly use all functions of the car.

20250728FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

The automatic braking that is meant to assist is actually very dangerous. There are many situations in which GROWN ADULTS, who should know how to control a vehicle (and thus do not need a vehicle to make decisions by itself) can be jolted by this braking. Numerous times, I have been backing out of my garage, and the safety system notices something (nothing is actually in my path- perhaps a dandelion floated across the camera?) and slams the brakes to hard. My child has been thrown because of thi
