Other than some recalls that weren’t causing me any problems, I haven’t had any issues with my 2016 GTI until today.
I was about 100 miles into a 300 mile drive when I got a warning tone and indicator that the cruise control went offline. Over the next minute I got continuous chimes of stuff that was offline. I may be missing some, but I remember cruise control, ABS, traction control, airbag sensor, parking sensors/assistant, rear camera, tire pressure monitoring,…The driver display was lit up like a Christmas tree.
The car seemed to otherwise be operating normally. I made the rest of the drive safely, although I was paranoid about shutting the engine off and it not restarting and leaving me stranded in the boonies. As a result, I did the rest of the drive with no stops. The gas light came on as I was within a mile of home.
