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.

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 with spark plugs. The second time I was told a part did not get put back on correctly after changing my oil. The third time I was told spark plugs at first but when I reminded them they had changed them less than a year ago I was told it was bad gas. I had the dept of agriculture in MS check the gas at the station and it was fine. Then it happened again and I was told again bad gas. There have been numerous reports of similar on social media I have photos and pdfs of the reports but could not upload them all.

Vehicle: 2024 Volkswagen Taos Mileage: ~20,000 miles Issue: Sudden unintended acceleration + Automatic Emergency Braking failure Crash: Yes Total Injuries: None VIN: 3VVVX7B29RM028089 Complaint Description: On [date], at approximately 6:00 PM, I was driving my 2024 Volkswagen Taos (about 20K miles) on Highway 92 East in heavy traffic. I had just merged into the right lane and was preparing to merge left. I looked over my shoulder to check the adjacent lane. At that moment, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward without my input. I attempted to steer left to avoid the vehicle in front of me, but there was no time or braking response. The car continued to surge forward and the right-front quarter of my Taos struck the rear-left corner of the vehicle ahead. The Automatic Emergency Braking system did not activate at any point, despite a clear forward-collision situation. The impact totaled my vehicle. This was unexpected behavior for a modern vehicle equipped with driver-assist safety systems, and the sudden acceleration combined with complete failure of AEB created a dangerous and unavoidable crash. I am reporting this incident because it appears to be a serious safety defect involving unintended acceleration and failure of a critical safety system.

Driving on several occasions and the adaptive cruise control has completely stopped working while driving at highway speeds on numerous occasions. A dealership replaced the cruise control system. There are serious electrical problems with this car. Sometimes the cruise will stop working, the air doesn't work correctly, the screen will randomly get hot, shut off, glitch, buttons on steering wheel will randomly stop working, SOS system will randomly go off. Three dealerships have told my wife and I we are stupid and don't know how to work the car. Can provide pictures and videos but dealerships can never replicate the issue.
