Example complaints
Forward collision avoidance: “I need a switch that goes in the steering column. This switch controls auto start/stop, cruise control, lane keeping assist, front pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control and much more. This switch is currently not available and has been unavailable for purchase for well over a month. I feel that I am not driving a safe vehicle and that because my vehicle was low volume car there is very little concern from VW to get this part produced.”
NHTSA complaint #11729152, filed 2026-04Electrical system: “By browsing through any forum it is evident the VW Arteon has a reoccurring issue with the vehicle suddenly turning off ACC due to an issue with the vehicles travel assistance systems. Repairs forced to be made by the consumer includes multiple steering wheel changes sensor replacements and other things all occurring in under 3-4 years and under 30k miles of purchase”
NHTSA complaint #11744717, filed 2026-06Lane departure: “The warning lights flash on and off, sometimes multiple times a second, sounding a loud beeping each time. It is triggered at engine start and persists through all speeds. I have experienced it 0-70 mph. The flashing lights and associated rapid beeping indicating the failure is extremely distracting while driving. Warning lights and warning sounds are designed to alert the driver to a potential safety issue so ignoring the lights and sounds is dangerous in the event it is a different caution/warning. …”
NHTSA complaint #11592282, filed 2024-06Back-over prevention (rear camera): “The 005F Information Electronics Control Module which is the central infotainment computer, failed on my 2022 Volkswagen Arteon while under factory warranty. While the side mirrors lights and audible parking beeps still operates from secondary modules, the main dashboard infotainment screen is completely blacked out. This total hardware failure resulted in the permanent loss of the rearview backup camera, creating an immediate safety hazard and actively violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 111 as well as the malfunction of the SOS button. …”
