The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who changed the vehicle settings, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone and a case was filed.

Numerous engine fault errors. After Kuhn VW replaced the defective caliper, they failed to secure it properly. The caliper cover which is the integral part of the braking system (serving cooling and air-dynamic function, preventing debris) fell off and got lodged in between the wheel and the caliper. The car started shuddering. Kuhn WV refuses to replace the caliper (the cover is not a separate component but the assembly) stating that: discovered customer caliper missing. but vehicle is working as designed. cover has no negative reaction towards vehicle operation. Wolkswagen is aware of caliper cover is missing and warranty does not cover caliper replacement and vehicke still works as designed.

Vehicle consistently misfires after fueling. Sometimes the pump shuts off early before filling the tank adding 5-9 gallons when I should expect 12. VW claims it is bad fuel but to get bat fuel at multiple gas stations over the course of a year is unlikely. I believe it is related to the suction jet pump that VW was forced to recall on various models but dealerships will not inspect this part. It has been in for diagnosis 7 times since the first cel was triggered in May of 2025.

Emergency braking system has applied itself on four different occasions where nothing was in front of me and one time was it highway speeds doing 70 mph The brakes completely locked up on the highway making people behind me have to take evasive action and not hit me while I'm stopped on the highway with my car parked and the emergency brake on The other time it happened just rolling through an intersection nobody in front of me just locked them up at about 45 mph The other two times were fairly minor I was doing 30 miles an hour through an intersection and it locked up my brakes nobody in front of me no nothing I could see and I didn't hit anything at any given moment
