  FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

  After only 312 miles new and only driven vehicle for 5 days. I received a warning about my forward collision warning system was a problem. Weather has been good. Not wet, temp was 72 degrees. I just started my car and had not driven yet. Chicago area. I set up a maintenance service to see the cause of it. Never saw this before on any of my previous vehicles especially brand new 2025 model

  Climate controls are NOT voice activated. Driver has to take eyes off of road for long duration to change/modify interior heat/cooling functions. There are no knobs only stupid touch screen junk. Vehicles must be recalled to install user safe functionality to these climate control functions. Stop the stupid touch screen stupidity.

  FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

  The car has a manual transmission. In all other vehicles I have driven with cruise control, when the clutch is depressed, the cruise completely disengages, same as a brake. When cruise control is engaged and the clutch is depressed, the cruise temporarily disengages and re-engages when put into a lower gear or the same gear. VERY scary since a majority of the time, the driver is anticipating a slow down. If left out of gear for a period of time, the cruise will fully disengage. I can only guess someone copied programming for the manual transmission car from an automatic transmission car. I have reproduced this behavior multiple times. Seems unlikely to do in standard cruise control. VW of America contacted and seemed unconcerned. Has not been brought to the dealer.
