I have owned my Atlas for seven months. During this time my 2019 VW Atlas SEL will slam on the brakes without any need to. This has happened five times.

MULTIPLE incidents. Automatic Emergency Breaking - Vehicle suddenly stops in the middle of the road while driving, when pulling out onto roads and when reversing, when there are no oncoming vehicles, objects or humans. Two recent incidences where I was almost in a collision, the automatic emergency breaking did not activate at all.

The rear camera becomes unavailable intermittently when backing up. This has only happened occasionally and recently (in the past few months) and may be related to the infotainment system being given priority on the display and may be affected by weather (rainy).

On numerous occasions our 2019 vw atlas sel premium has engaged the brakes even when there are no obstacles to avoid creating a dangerous, scary and unpredictable senecio for our family and other drivers around us. The problems with the automated braking have been attributed by service advisors as software issues with 'front assist, maneuver braking, and/or remote start".
