VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 2026-09-16 · NHTSA

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 beli…

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION 2026-09-07 · NHTSA

The center console repeatedly displays the message "Emergency call cannot be made." The message first appeared in approximately a few months after starting the lease and has recurred since. When it appears it interrupts navigation guidance and audio playback, and it can repeat several times during a single drive, incl…

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE 2026-09-02 · NHTSA

I have been to the dealership numerous times since buying the vehicle over engine issues. Typically what happens is either the epc, check engine light, or both come on. All advanced driver systems turn off and the car enters limp mode where I can barely get it above 30 mph. The first time I was told it was an issue wi…

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM 2026-08-11 · NHTSA

I am filing this complaint because Volkswagen is refusing to honor its factory powertrain warranty to cover a catastrophic internal engine failure on a vehicle with only 22,531 miles. The vehicle is well within its manufacturer's powertrain warranty limits. I have provided Volkswagen with two official receipts proving…

BACK OVER PREVENTION 2026-07-29 · NHTSA

The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while reversing, the rearview camera was intermittently inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V473000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION); however…

SERVICE BRAKES 2026-06-23 · NHTSA

Since the first weeks of ownership, my 2024 Volkswagen Taos has exhibited a persistent brake system defect: loud metallic grinding/scraping/squealing noise when braking, vibration when braking, and sensation that brakes are not engaging properly. The defect affects both front and rear brakes. At approximately 9,000 mi…

SERVICE BRAKES 2026-06-09 · NHTSA

I added a post last year at my 10k service stating my rear brake pads needed to be replaced. Update with my 20k service: rear brake pads AND rotors need to be replaced again. Rear brake pads down to 2 mm, front pads (original) still at 12 mm. This is a safety issues with financial consequences.

SERVICE BRAKES 2026-06-08 · NHTSA

I own a 2024 Volkswagen Taos with 20,600 miles. At my scheduled 20,000-mile service on June 6, 2026, the dealership measured my rear driver side brake pad at 3mm while my front pads measured 10mm. This extreme difference in wear is consistent with the known premature rear brake pad wear issue VW acknowledged on 2022–2…

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 2026-05-03 · NHTSA

The odometer does not read correctly upon fill up. Typically the fill up states I have 325 miles per tank but I can drive about 100 miles and it still reads 325 miles until empty, after which time the odometer drops extremely fast and isn't consistent with miles driven. Additionally, twice now, while driving the instr…

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM 2026-04-28 · NHTSA

The vehicle suffered a recurring mechanical failure of the fuel injectors and a flooded EVAP charcoal canister, causing the engine to run lean (Fault P2177) and lose power. This defect creates an unreasonable safety risk as it can cause the engine to stall or lose motive power unexpectedly at highway speeds. Furtherm…

SERVICE BRAKES,VISIBILITY/WIPER 2026-03-31 · NHTSA

At my 20,000 mile maintenance oil change, I was told my rear brakes and rotors were needing to be replaced. The car is a 2024 vw taos with 19,600k miles. I have never had to replace brakes anywhere near this early on any other car so it is not due to driving habits. The windshield wipers will also spontaneously go off…
