For the second time in this car, i experienced sudden acceleration while parking (turning right). I had to slam the brakes to prevent hitting a parked vehicle, causing whiplash. No warning or safety features engaged. See nhtsa crash incident report 11593929. There are sufficient similar reports to warrant an investigation and hold vw accountable.
- the door handles do not open on most occasions when there are passengers in the back seats. It is available for inspection. - i cannot get the passengers out and that is a risk in any situation when i need to open these doors. - yes, the dealership confirmed that this issue is part of the door handle recall (nhtsa #24v651). - it has not been inspected by others outside of friends and family. The dealership said that because there is no solution, there is nothing they can do about it and therefore it doesn't need to be brought in. - no warning lamps, etc.

While driving dec 10, 2024 my vw taos failed to accelerate after slowing at an intersection. If this happens when i’m turning, on coming traffic has to slow down unexpectedly. The epc light and check engine light came on. Car would not go above 15-20 mph. Called dealer and cautiously drove car to dealer. The mechanic said a popped fuse was reason the lights came on and car wouldn’t accelerate. They replaced 10a fuse and said codes/lights corrected. Now on 12/23/24 same exact issue has occurred. This is a huge safety concern. Taos 2022 models had a safety recall for a fuel delivery module that was causing that exact same issues and epc and check engine light to come on. I am waiting for the dealer to call me back now to discuss how serious this really is and to get them to acknowledge they didn’t truly diagnose the vehicle the first time (given the 2022 taos safety recall). Please investigate, i believe the 2023 models have the exact same problem. Not being able to accelerate is dangerous in multiple scenarios.
