2 Starter problem of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 02/25/2021

Our electrical systems seem to have weird mishaps. Sometimes our lights stay on even if we close all doors and lock the car our check engine light comes on and off often. Sometimes the quick starter/electric start won't work. This all happens randomly and the engine light will be on when we start the car or while we're driving.
