ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS

1 complaint

Volkswagen has issued an interim safety recall for certain VW vehicles. We believe this also incorporates VW Arteon. The Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) detects a malfunction, switches off the passenger airbag, displays an Airbag error and renders the passenger seat inoperable due to increased risk of injury. I’m alerted by the illumination of the airbag warning light, an acoustic warning sound, an error message displayed on the instrument cluster. I’ve been to 2 Volkswagen Dealerships, they report this is a common concern noted and should be reported to NHTSA.

VISIBILITY

1 complaint

Sunroof blew out at 70mph making a sound like a gunshot from within the car. Nothing externally or internally hit the glass. Sunscreen protected the passengers as 75% of the glass blew out and scratched the roof, trunk and back panels of the car traveling at highway speed. Car was under manufacturer’s original factory warranty but when the VW dealer contacted VW they denied it being a warrantable item despite the warranty book saying defective glass is warranted. My comprehensive auto insurance is paying for the new sunroof and extensive paint costs minus my out of pocket deductible.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

1 complaint

The rear view camera will occasionally not work. The first symptom is that the touchscreen instrument panel displays a pop-up dialog, randomly while driving, that says, "ParkPilot is not available right now." This dialog needs to be cleared by pressing "OK" before the rest of the navigation can be seen again. The more troubling symptom is that the rear view camera will occasionally not come on when either shifting into Reverse gear or even pressing the physical Rear View Camera button. I believe the two symptoms are related to problems with the vehicle's sensors and may be related to another recall that exists in the 2021 year of the same model (Arteon), with campaign number 20V716000. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the problem, but the issue occurs intermittently and causes a potential safety risk.

SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

HELLO, THIS VEHICLE IS WARPING ROTORS IN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND APPLY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES I GET HEAVY VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. VERY UPSETTING.
