| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
We've had our Atlas since 5/2020. Since then, we've had multiple issues similar to what I have seen reported on vw's upcoming recall. I am not sure how vw intends to identify which VIN's are an issue, but ours should probably be included. Here's a list of issues. . . 1) emergency braking goes off when backing up, even though there is no risk. 2) emergency braking goes off at the end of a decline when the road is transitioning from angled to flat. Since you're pointed down, it thinks the upcoming road is another vehicle. 3) using the remote start feature results in both the radio and cruise control not working. 4) window buttons on driver's side sometimes don't respond or act erratically (pressing up and the window goes down) 5) gps is inaccurate. We actually had a part replaced in 2020 that fixed the problem, but we've noticed over the past few months it has started to get lost again. 6) all safety systems (lane assist, emergency braking, etc) need to be disabled when driving in the snow. Otherwise, the vehicle goes crazy with random beeps, warning, and occasionally will hit the brakes. Note that these are an aggregate of problems over the course of owning this vehicle. I provided a date, but the issues aren't limited to just that one date. Fortunately we have had no crashes or injuries related to this problem, but my wife had one very close call when driving in the snow and the brakes engaged while she was on the highway.
