In November 2025, I was told by Volkswagen that I needed to get my brakes and rotors replaced. At that time I only had around 19,000 miles on my vehicle. This was covered by Volkswagen‘s extended warranty as Volkswagen is aware that there are issues with the rear brakes in January 2026 I needed to get my car serviced for the 20,000 mile check which was to include an oil change. At that time, the Volkswagen dealership told me that the brakes that they had just replaced the brake pads were compl

The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 - 60 MPH, the rear driver's side window exploded, causing pieces of glass to land on the contact's child, seated inside the vehicle. There were no injuries sustained. The contact used a blanket to cover the window and prevent more glass from entering the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not made the failure.

1. At my recent 20'000 mile service, I was informed that my rear brakes and rotors failed. We purchased the car in Jan 2025 with about 10,000 miles on it. The rear brakes and rotors failed with the car having 18574 miles at time of service. 2. We had no idea the rear brakes and rotors had issues. I did not receive any notice in the mail. The dealership informed me that the vehicle had an extended warranty on this issue. Either 2yrs or 20,000 miles, apparently the car was leased on Nov 15,

My car has been lagging since I got it and I bought it new only 4 miles on it. When I am trying to accelerate the car lags and then burst into speed. It has almost gotten me into an accident a few times. I was discussing this with another person I know that has one and she said the same thing.

20251101ELECTRICAL 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.

20251009STEERING

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 a

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, pedes
