2022 VOLKSWAGEN TAOS — Complaint #1808092
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING filed April 19, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1808092 (ODI reference 11461360) concerns a 2022 VOLKSWAGEN TAOS and was filed on April 19, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 31, 2021. The vehicle had 100 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same VOLKSWAGEN TAOS cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 VOLKSWAGEN TAOS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle would intermittently stall upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the "shift to park" warning message would appear on the instrument panel as the contact would restart the vehicle and resume normal driving.
