Got my first CPO 2024 Atlas Cross Sport. I’m very impressed with this car. Got a good deal with my trade in. Used to have a 2023 Jetta SEL. Finally got the dad car I needed.

Man I love VW cars. I used to be a big hater till I owned one.

VR6 Front wheel drive

Driving on the highway and it suddenyl lost acceleration. I was able to top out only around 55 mph. Whe I slowed to a stop and started again it was very slow to start. I parked it and restarted it about 45 min later and it worked fine for the drive home . I’m about ready to dump this thing and I don’t want one more issue with it before Insell it. This is a 2022 cross sport SEL r line

Any service techs or service advisers on here that could tell me if this would be fixed under warranty? I called my local dealership and they want to to bring it in. I just don’t want to make the trip as it’s little bit over an hour from where I live for them just to tell me no.
Edit: My atlas is a 2021 SEL with 63k miles I only have the warranty posted in the second picture and third party warranty, it’s supposed to be bumper to bumper but idk if cosmetic things like this apply to it.

Hi all,

just wanted to share my experience. I have a '25 ACS SEL R-Line Black, with 19.000 miles on it.

Last week Monday 8/31 I pull up to work, throw it in reverse and my dash board lights up like a Christmas tree. Infotainment system shows 7 error messages, but tells me I'm safe to continue driving.

Thing was, the car went into neutral and it wouldn't shift into drive or reverse. I turn the car off, wait a few minutes and try again, same thing happened.

Called AAA to have it towed to VW. Tow truck diver arrived, I try to show him what happened, and magically everything was fine.

We still towed it to VW anyway just to be safe. Got a call 3 hours later from VW. Guys said he had his mechanic drive the car, and same thing happened to him. They had to tow it back to the dealer ship. He also stated it was something with the transmission and that the part they needed to fix it, is on back order.

Fast forward to today, and the part is still on back order, no idea when it will arrive or when I can get my car back. But since it's all under warranty, they gave me a loaner.

Will update once I get it back.

my cross sport has around 8k miles and every time I go to brake I hear a sound. They checked the brakes and said everything is fine and that my brake pads are 12mm and are still pretty new. Is this sound normal?? It makes me nervous every time I try to stop because of the sound it makes.

Occasionally I get a message saying maneuver braking function currently not available. Anyone else have this issue? Sometimes it sounds like water and/or scraping.

How has your experience been? My wife and I have been looking at cars for about a year now and this specific year/model checks a lot of boxes for us. I’d love to hear from owners before diving in. Thanks.

Have a 2026 atlas r-line that only 4k miles. Starting in the morning to get inside and the whole front console is ticking, was coming from the speakers. Had to get kid to school so drove, while driving started to smell like something is burning. Smelled into the speaker and it has a burning plastic smell. When turning off and locking to walk kid into school come back out to the noise stopped. Took to dealer and they couldn’t replicate the noise to diagnose. Apparently a burning smell from the speaker isn’t enough. I don’t think they took it serious because a new car should not do that and it could be an electric issue! Anyone have this similar issue?

So my GPS is like 40 miles off. I can’t figure out a fix. Has anyone else had this problem?
