2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Collision Avoidance Problems

Your car's forward collision avoidance system unexpectedly engaged your emergency brake and shifted the car into park while you were driving at 15-20 mph in the middle lane, with no warning lights. Before this incident, you noticed the emergency brake deploying and putting the car into park multiple times when backing up or moving forward after starting the vehicle. The issue may involve a malfunction in the collision avoidance system's sensors or the electronic brake control module, which may need recalibration or replacement.

Your car's automatic emergency braking system is activating unexpectedly and jerking your vehicle into park while engaging the emergency brake—this has happened over 15 times in less than 3 months of ownership. When this happens, fault lights appear on your dashboard for the front and side/rear sensors, though they disappear after restarting the car. The dealership has confirmed they can reproduce the problem and is currently working on it, likely requiring diagnostic work on the collision avoidance sensors and brake control system.

Your Forward Collision Avoidance system stopped working while you were driving in the rain, and a warning light appeared on your dashboard. The dealer replaced the Forward Collision Avoidance module (Part Number J769), but the problem happened again even after repair. The dealer suggested cleaning the sensor, and you've taken the vehicle back multiple times—Volkswagen is aware of the issue and has opened a case. Fixing this will likely require replacing or reprogramming the Forward Collision Avoidance module and sensor.

Your car's forward collision avoidance system is braking unexpectedly even when there are no obstacles or vehicles ahead of you. Sometimes the emergency brake activates while you're stopped at a red light. Error messages appear on the dashboard after these incidents occur.
