2022 Volkswagen Taos

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!

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.

When pressing on gas peddle, vehicle aggressively jolts forward. This caused me to almost rear end the vehicle in front of me while on the highway as well as be rear ended. While on and in drive Taos appears to have died. Vehicle will not drive and break locks. The break peddle has also locked up twice while driving. Check engine light did appear but shortly turned off. Auto start/stop does not work on app and auto start doesn’t work on key fob either. Multiple times my Taos has “detected” a vehicle in front of me and flashed a warning when there was no vehicle at all. These incidents have occurred over multiple days. At this time I have only owed my Taos for three weeks.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the power steering and power brake failed. The contact stated that the "check engine" and "Electronic Stability Protection" warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to safely coast to the left and onto the highway median. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the evap purge solenoid had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 320.

Engine electrical issue with knock sensor, dealer replaced only to find out they now need to install an engine electrical harness complete. Engine warning light comes on and states max engine rpm's limited to 4000, while doing so engine power is cut resulting in major loss of acceleration, while engine light is on safety system does not work. Infotainment system sometimes does not load for several minuets as well as the rear view camera not functioning while loading.

EPC, AUTO/SWITCH OFF ERROR, LANE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE AND YELLOW TRIANGLE EXCLAMATION MARK LIGHT ARE ALL ON AGAIN - 4th time same issue, the engine was about to stall on me and luckily I was close to my house. Additionally there was the issue with a part recalled related with the fuel. The car was shaking when hitting the gas and seemed like engine was about to give out. This car is not safe to drive and I’m reporting this safety issue with NHTSA due to many previous recalls on this model and will be applying for lemon law on Monday. There is a history of recalls with this model and I no longer feel safe. Unacceptable I have leased this car for six months and 4th time I’m having issues. I already had to stay with a rental car twice all together while they “repair” the issue and reassure me the car is safe. I rely on my car for work and I’m always on the highway. Today I had my entire family in the car and the engine almost gave up on me in the middle of of major busy road

I bought my new car June 2021.Model 2022 Volkswagen TAOS [XXX]. In a new car, every 1500 miles a light comes on to check the engine. I have already been in maintenance twice, and today the light came on again to check the motor. I'm tired of driving with a new car to the service. My car has only done 4,300 miles and this is the third time I have to go to fix it. When the light comes on, check the engine, the car starts to slow down and a loud sound is heard, they can’t fix it for me.
