2022 Volkswagen Taos

Starting and stopping. Press on the peddle the car starts and then Boggs down you need to depress further on the peddle and then the vehicle jolts forward rapidly. Have been to two different dealerships. The OBD reader claims it bad gas. I buy mostly Shell gas. The one professional doesn’t think higher octane will have any effect. It an acceleration problem or transmission problem.

I had a check engine light, epc warning, lane assist deactivated and stop start disabled all at once while on a drive in a remote area without cell service. The car had a dangerous loss of power. I brought it to the dealer and they told me there is no fix as its a common software issue that apparently faulty detects bad gas. All they could do was reset the code and say it may happen again, and recommend higher octane fuel. VW corporate was no help & I opened a buyback case. I don’t trust this car and dont think its safe to drive. This is the second time brought in for a stop start stall issue. Under 4k miles.

While driving, there is a significant lag in acceleration after pressure is put on the gas pedal. There have been multiple instances where I have been making a left turn across traffic and the lag in acceleration has caused me to almost get into an accident. Downshifting and attempting to accelerate immediately after also produces a significant delay, which prohibits the driver from avoiding accidents if needed.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was low on fuel. The contact stated that the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to the dealer once more. The contact was informed that the vehicle operated as designed and that no failure was found. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,019.

After a complete stop, acceleration is jerky. In that there is a 2-4 second delay than a burst of acceleration that causes the car to shoot forward. The car ran perfectly fine when we first bought it, since then a computer update was performed about 6 months ago. Since having the update the car is slow to respond while accelerating, we've been back to the dealership for this and were told that there is an issue but no codes are being thrown. The service manager stated that all of the 2022 Taos that have been sold have this problem, they are waiting for a computer fix from Volkswagen, but Volkswagen customer care says they are unaware of this issue. Not sure where to go except to possibly trade out of this potential deathtrap.

I was driving on the highway traveling approximately 65- 70 miles an hour when my TAOS began losing speed. I attempted to accelerate when I realized my speed had dropped to 56mph. I was unable to accelerate and a message popped on my dashboard showing about maximum RPM cannot exceed 4000. My engine shut off and moments later before the check engine light, hazard signal, and EPC lights flashed and turned on. I was forced to pull over off to the left shoulder. I was not able to restart my vehicle. Each time I tried it would power on, attempt to ignite and die down back to assessors mode with the engine, hazard, and EPc lights remaining on. Had my vehicle towed to VW dealership and am awaiting diagnostic and repair. Truly scary experience when my vehicle shut off on a highway with speed limits at 70mph!

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed twice but failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal harder and the vehicle accelerated unintendedly and crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front of it. The contact stated it was a fender-bender. There were no injuries sustained. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was able to continue driving. However, the failure reoccurred upon reversing. Additionally, the contact stated that the fuel gauge had failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

I have a 2022 SEL 4motion. I purchased it in December. 7 months later I’m having issues with it. The extreme lag to this car is so unsafe. This is my 5th VW, and I’ve never had issues like this before. I can’t stress how many times I pray I don’t get hit when trying to accelerate the car. It’s mind blowing how slow the pickup is and super unsafe. I’ve had the EPC Light come on 3 weeks ago and now today I’ve had the check engine light on. The infotainment system is so unreliable. Sometimes the screen blacks out completely. The charging area becomes so hot that I have to take my phone off of it and put it elsewhere. When the EPC light came on I was driving on the highway and freaked out when the light came on and the vehicle started slowing down and wouldn’t accelerate as I kept trying to hit the gas pedal. Luckily my son wasn’t in the car. Volkswagen needs to straighten these serious issues out immediately. I will be on the hunt for another car. I don’t feel safe with this vehicle.

Vehicle from time to time without warning stalls. Engine starts shaking and we usually coast to a stop. At this time the check engine light and and other warning lights on. We shut the car off and wait few minutes and restart the car and it works fine as if nothing happened. This is very scary as this has happened 4-5 times in the last year and dealer can’t find anything wrong. This problem started after update to programming that I believe was done after stop sale order.
