Automatic Hill assist uses excessive brake force and for too long of a duration. This causes the vehicle to stall. Road inclination activation point of Hill assist is too sensitive. Brakes hold when it shouldn't. This is a factory default setting. Vehicle has stalled several times in traffic. This could potentially be a hazard of it happens in an emergency your situation when you need to move quickly and the vehicle stalls. Volkswagen should update the software controls to either be able to disable the feature or make the release point dependant on the clutch activation instead of a period of time after the brake pedal is released.
