1 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2025

Gps/navigation/sos/roadside assistance - sos system logs as "deactivated" and vehicle thinks it is 2 states away from my current location. In case of an accident, emergency, or other safety issue, the sos system would, unbeknownst to an operator, not be able to locate the vehicle and/or notify emergency services. When you get into the vehicle, it does not let you know that the sos function is deactivated (only once you "test" the system to do you become aware that the feature is not functioning). When the vehicle erroneously believes that it is "off road" it shuts the adas features off until it thinks you are back "on" the road. The vehicle has been seen by the dealership twice and multiple calls have been placed to vw. No known fixes.

2 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2023

Vehicle nav often looses location, and sets location miles off from where the vehicle was while in motion. Car net often says that it's not registered when it is, timezones switch to completely different parts of the country and driver assistance features deactivate when the gps looses it's location. Vehicle has been to dealer three times for these issues, the first time software was updated, but issues persisted. The second time was to diagnose that it was a car net module problem with an extended backorder. The third time was to replace the car net module, which the technician had problems trying to program and was eventually successful, but two days later the problems arose again.
