Description of the problem | The parking brake malfunctions due to an error in the electronics system board. This issue is severely under-reported as a large portion of cars affected ignore or reset the error by disconnecting the battery each time it appears. This needs to be an official recall but vw refuses to do it because they claim "not enough cars are affected". |
