“My rear brakes are metal to metal at less than 25,000 miles. Second issue when I im driving my car will not accelerate and the warning light comes up. I have to completely stop turn it off in the middle of the road and then it will start going. I called vw and they told me that they didn’t know what it could be. Maybe water got in a sensor. This issue has happened twice and it’s scary. Third issue my automatic braking will just brake when no one is in front of me almost causing someone to hit me from behind.”

“My car has been leaking cooling into the head gasket for 4 months. I have been waiting a month for parts and no update. My passengers and my safety was at risk when my car stalled out on a busy road. The problem has been inspected by the Volkswagen dealership. I found out there was a problem when my engine coolant light came on after less than one month of owning the vehicle. My front collision warning does not work correctly. It alerts me when there is vehicle in front of me or when there is a fork in the road. …”

“My car has lagged two different times and would not accelerate causing me to get off the road and turn the car off. The two occurances were about 6-8 months apart from eachother. The engine recorded multiple misfires and the second time it happened I was able to get a video of it. The dealership said that I ran out of gas the first time, even though I had a quarter of a tank and said that it went into lower power mode. The second time it happened they didn't know what was wrong with it because they couldn't reproduce the problem. …”

“I was driving down the interstate on 6/24/2022 with ACC turned on and was in traffic. The semi truck in front of me came to a complete stop, but my VW Taos did not stop or slow down, so I had to intervene in order to prevent an accident. After I came to a complete stop, my vehicle started beeping, flashing errors on the dashboard for every safety system on my car including the Airbags, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes, all Safety Sensors, Cruise Control, and something called Brake Booster. It stayed like this for about 10 minutes. …”

“This vehicle was purchased new 1/2022 and it has had several issues that occurred: - 2/23 driving down the highway trying to accelerate onto the highway I pressed the gas pedal and it wouldn’t accelerate for about 3-4 seconds then the check engine light came on as well as the car losing power - while driving the car the forward collision indicator has activated without at car being around and stops suddenly - if you put the car in reverse sometime the car will not go into drive so your basically waiting for the car to respond - I barely drive my car it has 19k miles I do not feel safe even…”
