    Polo GTI 2012 - Major issue

    Hi People,

    Looking for advice on my little beast as its now tried to kill me 3 times.

    The issue is when I am coasting along at a low speed ie: traffic/ carpark; and I go to apply the break and it feels like the brake is being blocked/ inhibited and the car is trying to drive against the brake.

    It does come to a stop but not until its progressed a few meters and after applying the brake with both feet.

    Car has done 18000k's and treated with respect so far.

    Thoughts?

    Evan

    Every VW I have driven has the best brakes I have ever seen, I would be taking it to the dealer.

    Does the brake pedal shudder violently? I've had that a few times in very specific conditions.

    Did it succeed on the 4th or has this issue been corrected?

    Maybe the brake finally did break completely and the car won.
