“I have a 2024 Volkswagen Taos, stock tires and rims, I reported a difference in the vehicles speed that scales at 50mph (speedometer) and every GPS reading 53, at 60mph the GPS reads 64, at 70 GPS reads 76, and at 80 the GPS reads 87, well...86 is what I was ticketed for, 86 in a 70, admittedly it was my fault, I believed I was doing 80, the radar gun said 87/88 but the officer was kind enough to only ticket me for 15 over, 16 would have gotten me impounded. …”
NHTSA complaint #11764726, filed 2026-09“The car has an issue with acceleration, when you stop or driving if you hit the gas pedal the car wont accelerate instantly it has a delay and it super dangerous when crossing through a 2 lane road, we have taken the car 3 times at VW and they finaly gave us an answer that this is an issue with all of the cars for this year and there is no fix or resolution and asked us to call VW to find a solution for our problem since they sold us a car that has a major deffect.

The first time I was told it was an issue with spark plugs. The second time I was told a part did not get put back on correctly after changing my oil. The third time I was told spark plugs at first but when I reminded them they had changed them less than a year ago I was told it was bad gas. …”

The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated for an extended period before suddenly accelerating rapidly, almost causing a crash.
