| Description of the problem | This is a 2015 tdi golf that sat on the dealer car lot for more than two years. We bought it spring 2018. Minimal maintenance done on vehicle when car was purchased. In fact, we bought three. Tires had flat spots, and had to all be replaced. My daughter's car developed soft brakes. Mine as well, and not stopping well. Her car failed to stop, resulting in a crash... This needs to be checked out that the brake flush and fluid are replaced earlier than the "recommended" 30,000 mile maintenance. Before others are injured. Please |
