Newer platform VWG vehicles have a very annoying auto brake feature that's incredibly sensitive. You need to make sure you don't lift your weight off the seat and always wear your seat belt when manoeuvring.

This is a known issue and there is a TPI software issue to fix this.
Whilst there are new PV software update suites available for older models, the only TPI that directly relates to the OPs complaint (pretty much word for word and model year specific) is one that advises you to make sure you are wearing your seatbelt to prevent the situation occurring.
