This is without any known objects/people approaching our vehicle.  It\u2019s a part of the electronic automatic braking system but obviously it is not programmed correctly.  It is DANGEROUS.  A brief review on internet shows these sudden stops have caused accidents (people rear ending vehicle after sudden stops).  Cars have also had to move quickly off highway to avoid collision.  Another issue: the Panoramic Sunroof has had frequent issues with water leaks.  We\u2019ve already had to pay for one such leak ($1000) and now face payment for a second serious leak which they can\u2019t seem to fix.  Internet searches show that VW Corporation has  known about this manufacturing defect since 2016 but has \u201chidden\u201d these manufacturing defects from customers.  These leaks have caused pools of water to form in the trunk (under spare tire).  The pool of water inside vehicle can range up to 1.5 feet and more!   We\u2019ve heard issues that if not caught sooner, these leaks case severe damage to electrical systems (battery, etc\u2026) due to excess water in vehicle.  It burns out electrical systems.  To our knowledge, VW will take NO RESPONSIBILITY.  People who own these cars have to pay for the fixes.  Very expensive fixes which are not working.   We no longer feel safe driving this car.  VW will not offer us a solution.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"TOUAREG","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
