The date below is the most recent event involving the auto start/stop system. I am concerned about my family's safety in this malfunctioning vehicle. These experiences indicate the vehicle electronic and software systems are unstable and the Volkswagen dealer has not been able to fix the issues, as they have recurred after the dealer claimed to fix the issues. As for the climate control system, it periodically deactivates the rear passenger compartment climate control and shuts off airflow to the rear passenger compartment and I have to manually reset the system through the button on the dashboard. On multiple occasions, the radio has turned itself on after I have turned it off. Other issues involve the "infotainment" system and climate control electronics. I have also had multiple experiences when I have turned off the auto start/start when I started the vehicle only to have it reactivate itself and shut-off the vehicle when I stopped at an intersection. I had to put the vehicle in park and manually restart the vehicle. On a separate occasion, it shut-off the vehicle while stopping to pay the parking attendant but failed to restart the vehicle when I released the brake and step on the accelerator. On four occasions, it has shut off the vehicle while in motion, pulling into a parking spot, resulting in loss of power steering. The most concerning safety issue is the malfunctioning auto start/stop system. Front assist errors are being attributed by dealer to the wreck, but the check engine and other computer errors, including issues with ABS control module (latest problem) are not and are being covered under warranty Vehicle was in a wreck in May 2018 when another driver pulled out in front of me. Problems have mostly been associated with check engine light and front assist (collision detection system) sensors, but now the issues have expanded to most of the car's internal computer system in general. My car has now been at the dealership for 21 days straight (this time), and I still have not received an eta on when it should be fixed. After waiting several weeks, that part came in, repairs were completed, and another issue came up. After that was finally replaced, another error light came on that was identified as something else, and I had to wait for a new part to come in. After the catalytic converter was finally replaced in September, the check engine light came on again and this time I was told it was a bad oxygen sensor. After having my vehicle at the dealership 4 times between July 25th and August 7th, it was finally discovered that I had a bad catalytic converter. Fast forward to November and I am still having issues with the vehicle, and it seems that anytime the dealership fixes one issue, another appears.
