Consumer Description

JUNE 16,2017 , I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE PARKING SPACE. ALL WHEEL BRAKES WERE LOCKED/THE CAR STALLED. 2-3 MINUTES LATER, THEY FREED UP. ON FEB.15,2018 WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC ON RT.580 IN DUNEDIN, THEY LOCKED UP AGAIN. 2-3 MINUTES LATER, THEY FREED UP AND I SHUT OFF MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. MARCH 28 ,2018 , DITTO IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER JUST BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE. TWO VW DEALERS ON MAR.22 AND AGAIN ON APRIL 5, THEIR COMPUTERS COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY SCAN OF THE INTERNET ALL POINTED TO THE MASTER CYLINDER AS THE PROBLEM. *JS *JS
