Car wouldn't start after being garage for two days. Nothing was left on in the car. The other thing I noticed was that the start stop function no longer works. When I first bought the car it worked all the time.
2019 Volkswagen Atlas electrical complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 76 of 76, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have been having problems with the car slamming on brakes for no reason, no cars in front of us we were on the highway driving at about 70 MPH. The acc system works sporadically. We were told that when they did the recall repair it deprogrammed the acc which they say there is no software update. My daughter was parking the car and the car shut off on the middle of the road and told her to manually restart the car. There is a grinding noise when accelerating the dealership said this was 'normal and related to the torque converter. The cruise control also works sporadically since the recall repair. The car stalling and slamming on brakes are both very serious safety concerns.
While driving 35mph,no one in either direction, flat street surface,braking system went on with the alert on dash and noise.it has happened 4 times where the cars braking system turns on, brakes while accelerating, and then it takes several seconds before you can move from the intersection, hoping not to have a collision from car that is behind.took to the dealers several times and they cannot verify. The engine light was on for several weeks.one dealer said they cannot see me for another 2 weeks. Called vw headquarters to get me in sooner. The triangle light with exclamation point was also on. The key light was on as well while my car was running, stating the keys were not in the car. When I went to accelerate, car turned off. Sunroof was leaking--have a video remote keys do not work all the time. Start up has issues, doors lock when I am close to the car for no reason, doors do not unlock from the inside until I turn on the car, the rear door does not open at times- have a video, if keys are in pocket, doors do not unlock easily(was told I have to hold the handle correctly or it will not open) the side alert system goes off all the time when nothing is there. Front windows would not go down -on receipt they stated they found windows were fine. Advisor told me that the button on the door was burned out, but they did not write that in the report. Steering issues where the car was moving right to left and very loose.
While driving a warning began to flash stating,"only exit vehicle in park position." the A/C will not blow hard and the heated seats no longer work. I am concerned about anything else electrical is not working. With equipped lane assist, I am concerned about its accuracy. The currently have acknowledged the same issue on the gti. Occurred when in motion on the highway.
Upon accelerating my 2019 vw atlas down an empty street between 10 to 20 miles per hour the autonamous emergency brake sensor malfunctioned and the car suddenly came to a complete stop jolting us forward. It was so unexpected that my hands slipped off the steering wheel and landed on the dash board. The halt came with a very loud noise. As I explained to the dealership technician and vw corporate office regional case manager, there was no vehicle in front of me. There were no pedestrians, animals, obstacles, etc. On the roadway. The day was sunny and the grill emblem that houses the system sensor was unobstructed and clean. If there would have been a vehicle behind me I would have been rear ended. The dealership told me that "they could not duplicate the issue" and per corporate engineers the sensor is working per specifications and no fault codes were found with the sensor. Imagine receiving this explanation after that scary incident happens to you out of no where. Now I can't get back into the vehicle without thinking when it will happen next. Too have written a letter to the ceo of volkswagen seeking a resolution to the problem. My thought is that it's a problem with the sensor's software code and volkswagen doesn't have a solution. Please I ask that this issue be investigated and a recall be issued. The internet has info on other owners with same issue along with a class action lawsuit filed in california against vw for the same issue. Thank you.
My battery died while driving and I had no control of brakes or wheel
