ELECTRICAL SYSTEMENGINEFUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have had issue with the propulsion system. Sometime the vehicle "jumps" when just touching the gas petal, other times it takes a long time to get up to speed. I typically see slower power generation when going around corners, power seems to drop. Additionally every once in awhile I'll be driving and the emergency alert system comes on unexpectedly and unnecessarily, which in itself causes panic. The lane departure on this vehicle ping pongs you back and forth, it doesn't perform well at all and needs to be addressed. Aloy of software updates are needed. The fuel gauge (miles til empty) and the speedometer appear to read incorrectly. VW knows about this problem as I informed them on my 30,000 mile check up, but they don't have a fix for it yet. All these things can be safety hazards and again needs to be addressed.

STEERING
The steering wheel shakes (vibrates) at elevated speeds (+65 mph) intermittently. It doesn't feel safe driving on a highway with a shaking steering wheel. Multiple attempts to fix at the dealer were performed. The dealer ended up saying that the car looks fine and that the shaking is due to the sensitivity of the tires to the road. When asked if there is a fix to that, I was told that that's how the car is engineered. They simply told me that I have to live with those shaking patterns as long as I have the car.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While my vehicle was completely stopped at a red light, I suddenly heard a very loud explosive sound from the rear of my car. Upon inspection, I saw that my back windshield had completely shattered. The glass exhibited long, linear fracture patterns radiating outward without any central point of impact. There were no circular, spiderweb, or cone-shaped cracks—patterns that would typically indicate an external object striking the glass. At the time of the incident, there were no vehicles, pedestrians, or debris in the vicinity that could have caused the damage. The car was stationary, and the surrounding environment was calm with no construction, flying debris, or other hazards nearby. This strongly suggests that the breakage originated from within the glass itself rather than from an external force. As I began driving carefully toward the dealership, pieces of the glass started to detach and fall inward into the cabin, not outward—another indicator that the force came from internal stress within the glass rather than from something hitting it from the outside. The loud noise and sudden shattering posed a serious safety concern, as such an unexpected event could easily startle a driver and lead to a traffic incident if it occurred while the vehicle was in motion. My vehicle is new, with approximately 5,000 miles on it, and has been carefully maintained. It has never been involved in any accident or sustained any exterior damage. The car’s body and glass are in pristine condition, with no dents, chips, or scratches anywhere. Earlier that same day, I had cleaned and wiped down all of my windows, during which I observed no cracks, chips, or imperfections on the rear windshield. Given these circumstances, it appears that the glass failure was spontaneous—potentially due to a manufacturing defect, internal stress within the tempered glass, or thermal expansion—rather than any impact-related cause. Though my car is under warranty, VW refused to cover any costs.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The check coolant warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that when the vehicle was serviced at the dealer, the coolant reservoir cap was not tightened properly. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the vehicle had not been inspected. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLINGVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. 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. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to provide a specific diagnosis but stated that the failure was turbo lag, which was not necessarily a failure with the turbo charger. The contact was informed that the failure was a known issue with the manufacturer; however, there was no fix available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 2,500.

VISIBILITY
The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the windshield wipers activated independently. The contact was unable to turn off the windshield wipers; however, they would turn off independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer several times to be diagnosed; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,605.

SERVICE BRAKES
My Taos will be 1 year old in August 2025 and I have approximately 8300 miles on it. I took my car in for its 1 year/10000 mile service yesterday and was told that my rear break pads are worn to 50% already. My front break pads are still at 90%. My last car, a Volvo S60, was 12 years old when I sold it and had never needed the brake pads replaced. I see VW has granted a warranty extension on the brake pads, but this is the second time this has been done. I had to look that up myself. The service rep at VW said nothing when I asked about the early wear on the brake pads. He just said they wear quickly. Clearly a known issue and VW continues to put a bad product out. To me bad brakes are a safety issue.
