2019 Volkswagen Atlas owner complaints

My passenger airbag light has been showing an error light on and off since March of 2023. I’ve brought it to a Volkswagen dealership 2 separate times, and they advised me they didn’t have a fix for the issue. This is our family car that we HAVE to drive everyday to get to work and school. Everyday someone is at risk by riding in the passenger seat. It’s been 9 months of my family being at risk on the roads. I would like something to be done in regards to my vehicle asap so my family is safe.

We received a recall notice in May regarding the passenger airbag and Volkswagen still does not have a solution yet.

No incident, not a timely remedy for recall. Recall from March 2023, no remedy available in December 2023, 9 months later.

I would like to file a complaint against VW for the outstanding recall. This recall was issued in March, it is now mid-December, and they still do not have a remedy available! 9 months is way too long to have a dangerous recall to be open (airbag issue) with no date for a remedy. Manufacturers should not be allowed to take this long to come up with a remedy!

Vehicle will get a stop/start error and stall at low speeds in traffic or at stop lights/signs. Have to put vehicle in park and manually restart. had the same issue at 20k miles and they replaced the carbon canister. This time they won’t replace it until the error code shows.

On [XXX], when I was driving the car at [XXX] at normal speed, suddenly my car accelerator stopped working (Not moving forward while giving the throttle) and I hardly managed to pull my car to the side from the middle row of the road and the car stopped its engine. I saw an indication in the tachometer -EPC. I waited for 30 seconds as I was panic, then I tried to restart the car, it started after a few seconds and the EPC error slowly disappeared. I was so frightened and managed to drive the car to the hotel later. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Every display ECM warning light has come on. Yes, it is reproducible. All ADAS failed at once. Normal system such as brakes, steering, electrical & head unit display becomes random.

The radio keeps turning off and on and random stuff keeps popping up on the dash I have read that atlas models from 2019 to 2023 have wiring harness issues why Is there no recall for this and all research I have done with what is going on is leading up to a wiring harness issue

If the vehicle is started via remote start, and then driven, radar related and other safety system are not online. There is no warning that these systems are offline. The only indicator is cruise errors if you attempt to engage. The dealer has validated this behavior but had no plan of action. The work around is to restart the car before driving. It's suspected and discussed in many forums. It presents a loss of safety system with no annunciation.

I put into neutral and restarted car. Days after, I see dash message of error, start stop disabled/malfunction. Thereafter for almost a week, start/stop would not engage at all. I res

The check engine came on while driving on a state road. A few weeks later it was in for replacement of steering rack. The extremely loud noises started while driving on a state road. A few weeks after that the second o2 sensor replaced. The check engine came on while driving on a state road. Now I have an appointment to bring it in on monday because the remote start that I use every morning stopped working tuesday. As of today, it hasn't even hit 3,000 miles.

This is a safety issue where this can be dangerous for drivers like myself and their families life, and others life at risk. This reporting is to prevent and avert future accidents.
