2019 Volkswagen Atlas Wheels Problems

“Vehicle has 11k miles. Took the vehicle in to repair a tire with a nail. My alignment was off (I thought I was feeling a shake anyway). Had the alignment fixed but a week later (first time on the highway) my vehicle is shaking far too much to be the road. All tires are in good shape as they were checked during the alignment. Shaking does not occur while driving under 45 MPH.”

“Was traveling on expressway when my passenger side rear tire blew. Upon pulling off the road I saw that the whole tire had separated from the sidewall and would need to be towed to the dealership. Once at the dealership it was determined the blow out caused damage to the strut, emissions, and wheel lining. When I got home I researched my tires which are continental cross contact sport lx in size 225/50/20 and found that they have a long list of recalls on this model of tire. …”

“I bought my new vw Atlas in december of 2019. When I bought it, I noticed a rubbing/squeaking noise when I turned the steering wheel but was told that was normal for a new vehicles. So, I let it go, then came to realize it continued to get worse and louder over time. So at my 10,000 mile check, they told me it was the steering rack that needed to be replaced asap but that it was on back order and could take a couple of weeks for the part to come in. I was told this was not a common issue. So I waited 3-4 weeks, and the part finally came in. …”

“Struck a large pothole with driver's side front wheel while traveling 15mph on a roundabout which apparently caused the side airbags to deploy. No body damage and no appearance of suspension damage. Tire and wheel remained intact, drove straight to dealership for closer look/explanation as to why all side airbags deployed.”

“The car vibrates when driving 65 MPH or higher. The dealership acknowledged the vibration and replaced the tires 3 times but the car is still vibrating. The corporate offices of vw have been contacted but they were no help.”
