This Problem Across All Years
The hill assist feature does not let go of the brakes when I apply throttle and has caused me to stall the vehicle on a hill multiple times. I would request a recall be made to allow the driver to not have the brakes engaged when throttle is applied when starting from a stop on a hill with manual transmission equipped gti's/golf r's.

22 days after purchasing, the sunroof blew up & shattered while driving. Produced a loud bang and shattered upwards. Volkswagen has declined warranty fix. There where no vehicles in front or behind me nor, was I going in an underpass. Nothing impacted the glass sunroof, it just exploded upwards.

The hill start assist in the vehicle (with a manual transmission) makes it dangerous for pulling out into traffic if you are stopped on a hill. It holds the car for a predetermined length of time if you come to a complete stop on the hill as you legally are required to at a red light/stop sign making you unable to pull safely into traffic. It is very easy to forget this annoying feature exists on new intersections you may not think of as being inclined, or when you are focusing more on the traffic and are just expecting the vehicle to operate normally to pull into traffic as with any other flat intersection. It has caused me to stall the vehicle numerous times while attempting to enter traffic. I know how to drive a manual transmission and not roll backwards on a hill. VW needs to offer an “off” option for this feature for the safety of drivers. This “safety feature” is going to get someone hurt or worse.

Roll back feature on manual car. Causes disruptive driving by Engaging and holding too long causing stallouts and potential collisions. Also rearbackup camera only works <80% of time.

UNKNOWN - Vehicle hill assist. The hill assist feature is overly aggressive and causes the car to stall when going in forward or reverse on an incline. This has the potential to cause rear end collisions and generally unsafe driving conditions. VW needs to either provide a way to disable this feature or reduce the hold time as they had done with previous generation GTIs. This feature is dangerous and unnecessary for any experienced manual transmission driver.

The SOS emergency call system randomly dials out and hangs up, dials out, hangs up, and continues to do so while driving. This has occured numerous times and lasts from 10 minutes to more than 20 minutes. It is extremely distracting.

Rearview Camera. When I changed the gear into reverse, sometimes my rearview Camera does not turn on, the screen only goes black. It happens multiple times in a month and it's a risk for the driver as well as other outside the car. I heard there's a recall exactly like this for my same model, same car and there's no recall for my particular model.
