Electronic issues with the infotainment screen that have caused the backup camera to fail to work on multiple occasions. The parking sensors also don't always work properly.

2023 gti’s rear camera, cross traffic sensors and parking sensors not functioning as infotainment system controls these systems, and is consistently blacking out and showing errors. Had vw in for several services and dealer told me it’s a vw software issue. Hence, this issue is likely systemic. Considering it renders the backup camera intermittently non functional I consider this a big safety problem. Vw needs to address this issue immediately and issue a TSB or a fix. Many owners having same issue. Taken vehicle to two dealer and they have told me it is a Volkswagen technology issue and is unsolvable unless vw fixes the software. Contacted Volkswagen - no response.

Vehicles infotainment system does not turn on at startup - several error messages for safety features by most importantly, rear camera does not work when infotainment system screen is down and requires the dealer to activate it or fully black screen. Took to vw three times and they cannot determine the issue. Says it’s a software issue, but also showing “low voltage” warnings in computer diagnostics. Audi, owned by Volkswagen, just issued a recall for infotainment systems disabling rear cameras due to low voltage issues. The symptoms are identical to the vw issues. This is Audi recall internally coded 91ei and it impacted many makes and models. I believe the components are possibly shared and the recall needs to extend to the gti as well. Contacted vw and they have been unresponsive to me. I have video of the issue that shows the issue in more detail. Also attached the work order from vw that noted “low voltage”.

The problem is component protection, when the car goes into component protection you lose a/c and defrost, crash protection, it has been see by a Volkswagen dealer.

Each time the vehicle is started its throwing a safety warning alarm and malfunction. I’ve called vw America to file a complaint as well as the dealer and it seems like they just do care to take these software issue’s seriously. I’m truly nervous when I drive the car that in the event of a emergency on the road the systems will not function as designed and I’ve asked numerous times when are they doing a software update and or taking a serious look at the issues with no success.

Quite often various warnings show on the screen and following features - maneuver braking function currently not available - rear traffic alert is currently not available - error: park distance control.

I am reporting this same issue for two separate vehicles (same make, model and year): all of the sensors relating to parking, rear cross traffic, acc, etc. Fail intermittently. (they all fail as simultaneously and resolve simultaneously. ) this has now occurred on two separate cars that I have owned (same make, year and model). The first was repurchased as a lemon, but the exact issue is now present on the second car (see separate report). The issue is dangerous since these are core safety features (e. G. , rear cross traffic, emergency braking). The issue has been confirmed by a vw dealer on both vehicles. I also have photographs of the warning messages and lights on both vehicles. This problem is reported by many other owners of 2022 vw Golfs. . Read more...
