Description of the problem	The car has autonomous braking issue. The system that brakes the car if another car is detected in front of you will brake even if no one is in front of you. The car was in at the dealer four different times for this same issue. The last time it happened i was injured as a result of the aburt stop. Vw had my car for 7 weeks and all they could find was that the car was out of alignment and the sensor was not adjusted properly. The problem with this finding is that they had already performed that same exact fixed a year prior. They also stated one of the four times they had it in the shop that they replaced the radar unit. When the car does stop it gives no warning and the stop is was aburt and violent. I traded myself out the vehicle at great expense to myself because of this issue. Vw offered no trade assistance on this known issue. Additionally, the vehicle i traded in hopes they'd send it back to germany to figure this out is actually for sale on the local dealer's lot. This car will serious injury someone and any who would travel around it if the vehicle stops suddenly again. The car and this known issue may even cause someone's death. I alerted vw of america of this issue and they are completely derelict in taking the safety of people who bought these vehicles.
