The idea of having the brakes electronically controlled creates an issue since there is no manual release to the issue, except for removing the electric source. This is new to VW and as such it has not being totally tested. Although only once I have the brakes locked, the Brake Switch has been replaced 3 times including this last time in 9/2008. I wonder if I will keep this vehicle after warranty expires.
