Consumer Description

MY 2002 W-8 PASSAT FOUR TIMES THIS WEEKEND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE FEELS VERY SOLID AND CANNOT BE DEPRESSED UNTIL A VERY QUICK & HARD QUICK PRESSURE IS PUT ON IT ABOUT 3-4 TIMES. I NOTICED AFTER THAT INCIDENT (FRIGHTENING) THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN GOING DOWN HILL, ONLY UPHILL OR EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. *TR
