The Hill Hold Assist system on my 2024 Volkswagen GTI (manual transmission) repeatedly holds the brakes too long when starting on an incline. The brakes remain engaged for 1â2 seconds even after I begin releasing the clutch and applying throttle, which causes the car to stall or hesitate before moving. This creates a safety risk when pulling into traffic or when other vehicles are behind me on a hill. This issue has occurred at least four times within the first 1,000 miles of driving. It is easily reproducible on normal hills and happens under normal driving conditions. I have many years of experience driving manual transmission vehicles, including a 2019 GTI, and I have never experienced this kind of delayed brakeârelease behavior on any other vehicle. The systemâs interference is abnormal and unexpected. There is no option in the vehicle settings to disable or adjust Hill Hold Assist, and many other 2023â2024 GTI manual owners report the same problem. This appears to be a calibration issue that results in unexpected stalls, hesitation, and delayed acceleration, creating a potential safety hazard.

I own a manual transmission MK8 Golf R, the âhill assistâ system cannot be turned off. The brakes will hold for 2-5 seconds after being released even on very slight inclines. I unfortunately upgraded from a 2017 MK7 Golf R manual that was damaged in an accident (I was not at fault). In that model VW the hill assist or âauto holdâ was able to be turned off with a button. The new models âassist systemâ is an unsafe as is requires heavy clutch/throttle input in order for it to release. Iâm [XXX]  and have driven manual cars and trucks my entire driving life so Iâm aware of what is required to drive a manual. This system needs to be addressed or somehow needs to have the ability to be disabled. There are multiple threes and complaints online some even siting accidents that the system has caused due to it not releasing when it should have.

The infotainment system attempts to call for information or help. It disconnects my cell phone from bluetooth or USB and causes the screen to swap to either of the above call pages and makes a loud 'click' sound. It then cancels the call and attempts them again around a second or two later and gradually speeds up until the car is entirely turned off. The screen flashing and clicking is extremely distracting and there is no way to resolve it short of entirely shutting the vehicle off and letting it sit for a few minutes. In order to full reset, I have to find an exit or risk completely turning the vehicle off and getting out on the highway. I was unable to reset it with it detecting me in my seat.  I have multiple videos where I was able to find a parking lot and record the issue. I have tried to reset it and turn the vehicle on and off with no success. I have videos of that as well.   I have been to multiple dealers and they told me that there are no error codes, so they can not fix or assess it unless I bring it to them while it's happening. It happens a few times a week. I have been driving to Pittsburgh for work (5 hours each way) and I have it happen at least once each way. There does not seem to be any specific trigger to make it happen. I have had it at low speeds in town (15-25 mph) or highway speeds (60-70 mph).  I have a third dealer looking at it on 1/31/2025.   No warning lights on dash.  Below date is the first date I recorded it happening on video. Started around a month or two sooner but no proof of it.

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

VW implemented hill hold assist for all new GTI and Golf R manual transmission vehicles.  Hill hold does not disengage when you start to engage the clutch to go.  Instead, the brakes will remain locked, up to 3 seconds on steep hills.  This prevents the driver from moving the car quickly, especially on hills, making a left crossing traffic... we've had close calls due to this delay.  It can also cause the vehicle to stall since the brakes are locked while attempting to engage clutch.  VW must allow drivers / owners option to disable or fix it so it disengages as soon as the clutch is engaged.  This can easily be recreated...dealer cannot make changes and has confirmed many owners complaining about this safety problem.

The interior dome lights are touch controlled. on multiple occasions the dome lights have randomly started turning on and off and becoming generally unresponsive. One of the occasions happened at night while driving causing significant visual impairment and distraction. having a bright LED interior light in your eyes really messes with your exterior visibility as well as constantly trying to turn it off with the controls being unresponsive makes it doubly dangerous. After multiple trips to the Volkswagen dealer, the issue is still unresolved as they can't "duplicate" the issue (despite me providing video evidence) and are speculating it's and electrical issue caused by a malfunctioning 3rd brake light (which they have also been unable to fix). there are no warning lights associated with the dome lights malfunctioning. additionally, cursory research online (forums such as reddit and VW Vortex) indicate that this issue is not unique to my car but present in several VW models including the MK8 Golf R, MK8 Golf GTI, and the ID 4
