I was traveling down a road and my brake gave out, when i had it towed to the dealership they said the inside of the brake vacuume exploded???? I was driving with my daughter and we could not stop. I have never had brake issues with this car and we almost ended up being smashed in an intersection going downhill with no brakes I wrote to VW CEO and he never responded. They made me pay for this when it was not fair.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT, ON A CITY STREET, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. NOTHING STRUCK THE CAR, NO OTHER TRAFFIC WAS WITHIN 200 YARDS, AND NOTHING ABOVE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A POP, THEN GLASS SHARDS FELL IN REAR PASSENGER SEATING AREA. NO ONE WAS INJURED. SUNROOF IS RAISED UP, INDICATING PRESSURE FORCED IT UP AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING HITTING FROM ABOVE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE OFF FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW. THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE OFF BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVE LOOKED INTO RECALLS. TURNS OUT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS FOR VOLKSWAGEN TIGUANS 2017 IN REGARDS TO RECALLS SO I WANT THIS CHECKED OUT ASAP. *TR
