| Description of the problem | I own a 2012 vw touareg and recently, i have had an issue with the brakes. When i come to a complete stop at a light or for a long time, after 5 or more seconds, the brake pedal starts to go down and the car starts to roll forward. I can stop the rolling if i push the breaks all the way down further, but the dealership says they cannot reproduce the issue and therefore cannot change any parts or do anything for me. Since i am unwilling to gamble with my brakes, especially with my son in the vehicle, i have left the vehicle at the dealership until they can reproduce the issue. I'm not sure if other people are having this break issue, but i wanted someone to be aware. |
