Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear camera blacks out on the dashboard. Sometimes when I start the dashboard, the thing is dark. It doesn't come on even while driving. It mainly happens with the push start option. Occasionally, I've been driving on the highway. And it'll start flashing blinking and then blackout. Also, the gear shifting to accelerate on the gas get stuck. It won't shift, it'll go into neutral mode. Even though it's since drive mode”
NHTSA complaint #11716375, filed 2026-02“Trying to leave work. Have to stop the car to scan my badge. Went to hit the gas and the car was off while in drive. Took me 5 minutes to get the car to turn back on. Serious safety issue that they said is only happening to the AWD but it’s also happening to the FWD and Volkswagen is not doing anything about it.”
NHTSA complaint #11548781, filed 2023-10“I purchased the vehicle in 2022 & in 2023 the low coolant light turned on. Now at 54k miles the low coolant light has turned on again and the head gasket is definitely leaking. I’m out of warranty because I’ve hit 54k miles. This is absolutely unacceptable for a brand new car.”
NHTSA complaint #11698370, filed 2025-11“My car suddenly shuts off even while in motion. When this happens I have to brake, put the car in Parking, press the off button, press it again to turn the car on, put the car on Drive, and the I can keep going. This is extremely dangerous, and have almost been hit several times. I don’t feel safe driving my car anymore. I brought my car to the VW dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11561756, filed 2023-12“While driving I heard a small crack I looked up and notice where you can turn the lights on in the inside the whole unit fell out on me while driving. Almost crashed. And once we tried to put it back up it all the plastic strutted to crack.”
