2020 Volkswagen Passat Collision Avoidance Problems

Your car's Front Assist forward collision warning system has been activating and applying the brakes on its own even when there are no vehicles or objects in front of, behind, or beside you. This caused your car to come to a complete stop while driving on the street during clear weather conditions. Volkswagen has acknowledged the issue and says engineers are working on a fix, though they've told you the car is safe to drive. A software update or sensor recalibration may be needed to resolve the false collision detection.
