I was driving to work on April 1, 2013 "April Fools Joke" I thought, but as I was coming to a complete stop the brakes fell to the floor, so I panicked and applied the hand brake.. I got off work early to take it to VW dealer but since there are no codes read the computer did not read any problems, mechanic stated the brakes are fairly new.. I bought the car in December 2012.. Thinking twice about VW.. Haven't had any problems with anything else on the car so far, brakes holding up so far..
