The car has an issue with acceleration, when you stop or driving if you hit the gas pedal the car wont accelerate instantly it has a delay and it super dangerous when crossing through a 2 lane road, we have taken the car 3 times at VW and they finaly gave us an answer that this is an issue with all of the cars for this year and there is no fix or resolution and asked us to call VW to find a solution for our problem since they sold us a car that has a major deffect. VW wont do anything.

My Taos will be 1 year old in August 2025 and I have approximately 8300 miles on it. I took my car in for its 1 year/10000 mile service yesterday and was told that my rear break pads are worn to 50% already. My front break pads are still at 90%. My last car, a Volvo S60, was 12 years old when I sold it and had never needed the brake pads replaced. I see VW has granted a warranty extension on the brake pads, but this is the second time this has been done. I had to look that up myself. The service rep at VW said nothing when I asked about the early wear on the brake pads. He just said they wear quickly. Clearly a known issue and VW continues to put a bad product out. To me bad brakes are a safety issue.
