2019 VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS Complaints

The vehicle will sound the collision warning sound for no reason when no other vehicles are around. When slowly coming up to a red light with one car in front, after coming to a complete stop the vehicle beeped once and engaged the brakes. The second time this happened the vehicle was driving slowly in a school parking lot. There were cars all around but the sensors were beeping the whole time. When trying to drive forward the vehicle slammed the brakes on. Today the vehicle was stopped at an intersection, the rear camera came on, the beeping came on. The vehicle had to be shifted into park to stop the beeping and then put back into drive. This is a serious safety issue and should be a recall!

INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN I GOT TO APPLY THE BRAKES MOVING FORWARD OR TURNING, THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING OR RUBBING IN THE FRONT AXLE

PURCHASED MY CAR IN MAY OF 2019 IN JAN/FEB WHILE DRIVING COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON ' VERIFIED COOLANT WAS LOW ONCE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COOL DOWN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT EVAPORATED AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG FAST FORWARD TO APRIL OF 2021 COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE HAD ROUGHLY 11,500 MILES. COOLANT WAS AGAIN LOW BUT THE LIGHT CAME OFF BY ITSELF. TOOK IT ONE DEALER SAID IT PROBABLY EVAPORATED AND THEY REFILLED IT, TAKING IT TO ANOTHER BUT THEY ALREADY INDICATED IT IS PROBABLY JUST EVAPORATING. IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM IT IS EVAPORATING BUT WHERE ... TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THEM THEY TOLD ME NOT TO BELIEVE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS AND THAT MY CAR IS PROBABLY FINE. EXCEPT IT IS NOT FINE IT IS BRAND NEW CAR LEAKING COOLANT ....

THE REAR WINDOW ROLLS DOWN BY ITSELF WITH NOBODY TOUCHING ANY OF THE BUTTONS. THE LIGHT POPS UP ON THE DASH AND SAYS FAULTY ELECTRICAL. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THE EMERGENCY BREAK APPLIES. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE AS THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES

WAS TRAVELING ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW. UPON PULLING OFF THE ROAD I SAW THAT THE WHOLE TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL AND WOULD NEED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE BLOW OUT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE STRUT, EMISSIONS, AND WHEEL LINING. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED MY TIRES WHICH ARE CONTINENTAL CROSS CONTACT SPORT LX IN SIZE 225/50/20 AND FOUND THAT THEY HAVE A LONG LIST OF RECALLS ON THIS MODEL OF TIRE. I CALLED CONTINENTAL AND PROVIDED THE DOT NUMBER AND MOLD NUMBER BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TIRE IS WHAT THE RECALL STATES CAN HAPPEN. I INFORMED THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I BELIEVE MY TIRE(S) IS ONE OF THE AFFECTED TIRES AS THIS LIST IS ON GOING. I ENDED UP FILING A PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIM WITH CONTINENTAL AS I FEEL THEY ARE LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE.

AT 8,860 MILES COOLANT LEVEL WARNING APPEARED WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I BELIEVE WE ARE EXPERIENCING A COOLANT LEAK ISSUE. RECOMMENDED COOLANT WAS ADDED TO PROPER LEVEL AND AFTER 1,000 MILES THE LEVEL IS NOTICEABLY LOW AGAIN. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE PRESSURE TESTED TO FIND THE LEAK AND REPAIR HEAD GASKET, WATER PUMP, OR LEAKY HOSE.

COOLANT LOOSES 8OZ OF FLUID EVERY 2 MONTHS, DEALER SAYS IT "JUST EVAPORATES" IT ONLY HAS 12017 MILES ON IT. JUST SEARCH ALL THE FORUMS TO SEE ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE.

PURCHASED A 2019 ATLAS SE4MOTION. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THE SUV HAD 40000 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY 12.19. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER ON 12.21, VW SAID IT WAS A MODULAR PROBLEM. CAR WAS FIXED A WEEK LATER BUT THAN AIR BAGS ACTIVATED. THE CAR WAS FIXED AGAIN , PROBLEM WAS WATER BUILT UP IN CONTROL MODULE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS TWISTED TUBE. NEED NEW MODULAR AND A/C DRAIN. THIS WAS DONE AND I PICKED UP CAR AND AIR BAG LIGHT WENTO OFF AGAIN. CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THIS SEEMS SIMILAR TO 2018 ISSUES WITH AIRBAG. I HAVE NOTIFIED VW CORPORATE.

VEHICLE HAS 11K MILES. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO REPAIR A TIRE WITH A NAIL. MY ALIGNMENT WAS OFF (I THOUGHT I WAS FEELING A SHAKE ANYWAY). HAD THE ALIGNMENT FIXED BUT A WEEK LATER (FIRST TIME ON THE HIGHWAY) MY VEHICLE IS SHAKING FAR TOO MUCH TO BE THE ROAD. ALL TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AS THEY WERE CHECKED DURING THE ALIGNMENT. SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING UNDER 45 MPH.

THE REAR WINDOW ROLLS DOWN BY ITSELF WITH NOBODY TOUCHING ANY OF THE BUTTONS. THE LIGHT POPS UP ON THE DASH AND SAYS FAULTY ELECTRICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IN THE CITY. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ATTEMPT TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE/MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ALMOST AS IF THE EMERGENCY BREAK HAS BEEN PULLED, ONLY NOBODY HAS TOUCHED IT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT DOES COME ON. AGAIN, IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY (HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES). NOW, THE REMOTE START DOES NOT WORK.
