2022 Volkswagen Taos Complaint Log

Multiple times while driving the check engine light has come on, followed by some shaking then the car shuts off. Taking it into the dealership for service is of no help as they claim the car is fine, but this keeps happening. Very dangerous and if you read online and complaints on this board this is not an isolated event.

Coolant warning made me pullover on highway looked online a lot of people have the same trouble of coolant going low without any visible leak.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the check engine and ECM warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle decelerated and would only operate in LIMP Mode. During the failure, the vehicle was shaking and vibrating abnormally, and it was difficult for the driver to control the steering. The vehicle was driven directly to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with a cylinder #3 misfire. The cause of the misfire was not determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 38,000.

It’s happened 2x in owning the 22 Vw Taos. The car will start be good for about 5 seconds, then car shakes like the engines misfiring, check engine light flashes, steering does become locked a little and difficult. Once you start up again it’s fine. Happened in Nov 2024 and today 3/8/2024

Sunroof shattered at a red light suddenly. Outside temperature was around 50 F. Two friends had small superficial cuts. We were stopped at a red light at the city (ATL). Vehicle is been inspected and the fault is been adjudicated to an impact. Sunroof has cero impact marks nor does it have impact holes or impact point. Two main horizontal fractures can be seen at the front and back portion of the glass. Affected glass is the first motorized glass. No other impact of scratches on the car.

Purchased 2022 VW Taos SEL new from dealer. Vehicle began using coolent triggering the coolent warning light. Engine light activated and dealer states coolent is leaking from the rear of the head gasket and is affecting the air flow system. Safety risk of engine over heating causing damage or failure. Research shows this is a common problem and a faulty head gasket was used in production. Vehicle is no longer in warranty and no recalls have been issued.

Vehicle is persistently lagging in acceleration on highways

This is my second report as I have 2 VW Taos 2022 model vehicles. This vehicle also needed rear brake pads replaced after only 11233 miles. This is a low mileage vehicle and was outside of the extended warranty VW had offered and hence did not cover the repair. These faulty brake pads also damaged the rotors and they needed replacement too. This is a safety and a quality issue. VW needs to recall these faulty brake pads and cover previous repair costs. I did call VW customer care on 6/2/2025, they documented my concern but said they would not cover any repair costs beyond their original extended warranty but did document my situation with early brake pad wear on 2 VW Taos 2022 model vehicles.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to exceed above 10 MPH, with the check engine and the EPC warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The mechanic linked the failure to failure to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 23V214000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), 21V651000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), and Technical Service Bulletin 1523/01. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer confirmed that the VIN was not covered under recall and that the vehicle had exceeded the mileage for coverage. The failure mileage was 67,168.

Car hesitates when gas is pushed and will take off suddenly .Almost caused a accident many times vehicle is dangerous!! Some thing must be done!!

Engine has ceased at 67000 miles a mechanics has searched my VIN id number and 3 recalls have come back but Volkswagen says they are not applicable to my vehicle. I’d like to confirm this if possible

I recieved an error message stating "start/stop" error.

Since I have bought my car, I’ve had continuous problems. The car has stalled multiple times the most recent time that it stalled. It was in the middle of the highway leaving me in a very unsafe situation and after that happened, I took it to the dealer ship and only then were they able to identify that there was a problem with the starter, even though the previous two times that I took the car to the dealership since it stalled they weren’t able to find a problem I’ve had a valve replaced on the car I’ve had tires replaced on the car i’ve had the brakes changed multiple times even though I’ve only had the car for three years my windshield wipers have been randomly going off on the car for the full three years of me having it and the service center at Volkswagen has not been able to find a diagnosis for the issue and to me that’s really unacceptable to tell a paying customer that there’s no way to fix a problem on their car I’ve also had issues with the coolant level, always going below the max amount and even after checking, they weren’t able to find issues with it. Also, my gas cap randomly opens. Also, this last time a couple days ago when my car stalled the steering wheel and gearshift both locked and I was not able to move it, and there was no proper response as to why that happened when I picked up my car from being serviced. Overall, I’ve continuously had problems with this car since I bought it and I’ve contacted Volkswagen customer care back in 2023 and now again at the beginning of 2025 and they have been very unhelpful and I want this problem resolved somehow because I do not feel safe driving such an unreliable vehicle and my family bought two of the same exact cars on the same exact day but my car is the only one that has had all these problems, but the other car is perfectly fine and it doesn’t have such extreme issues. I am filling out this form to hopefully get a better resolution since Volkswagen has done an awful job at resolving this matter

The aft panoramic sunroof shattered while the car was parked. Thankfully, the "spider webbing" kept the glass from falling in the back seat, and the car was not driving then. I called and scheduled a dealer appointment that day and dropped the car off last week. There were no indication prior.

I own a 2022 VW Taos SE (Purchased New), it has been using up coolant, roughly every 2 months I needed to fill it. Took it to the dealership and they said there is a small leak in the head gasket, which they advised is common for the Taos and advised that VW is aware of this issue. However, when I contacted VW, they are unware of the issue with the Taos. I have a scheduled date to replace the head gaskets, however with VW unaware of the issue my worry is that it will happen again when my car is out of warranty. My safety worry is that my head gaskets will go, ruining my engine, breaking down on the highway with my infant on board. The smoke that would appear from a blown head gasket would impair other drivers visibility possibly causing an accident. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?- Coolant Leaking, Small Leak in Head Gasket. Yes. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?- My safety worry is that my head gaskets will go, ruining my engine, breaking down on the highway with my infant on board. The smoke that would appear from a blown head gasket would impair other drivers visibility possibly causing an accident. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -Yes the VW dealership. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?- VW dealership Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?- Low coolant level light.

Head gasket leak. Went from zero issues with coolant whatsoever to the car smelling like it was burning after being turned on and being deemed unsafe to drive requiring a tow to the dealership for repair. Once there, head gasket replacement deemed necessary. Seems to have been a very an abrupt change. Luckily in this instance the car was parked and did not actually catch fire but I am concerned for my safety if this would have happened while the vehicle was in motion.

The fuel door release actuator seizes up and does not release fuel door. This vehicle does not have a manual fuel door release, therefore if you run out of gas you are not able to manually open the fuel door.

I purchased a 2022 Volkswagen Taos from TOM‘s VW, Union, New Jersey on Sep 23, 2023. At the time of purchase, the vehicle had approximately 19000 miles. Unfortunately, I experienced the engine light illuminating after starting the car at the end of October 2024. I brought this issue to Tom's VW's attention in Nov, 2024 - 1) I made an appointment with Tom's VW, and the first time I went to the dealership was on Nov 2, 2024. Since then, we have come to Tom's VW dealership to fix the same issue at least 6 times, the latest one was on May 15, 2025. 2) The car has been kept in the dealership's shop since it was drop off at the dealership on May 15, 2025. It's still kept in the dealership's shop now. 3) Several times we were told the problem was resolved and we could pick up the car, but the problem would usually reappear the next day. We immediately called Tom's VW to inform them and ask if it was safe to drive the car before it was delivered to Tom's VW again, since the problem involved the engine. However, we were told there was no safety issue. This concerns the engine, and the problem remains unresolved after a year, with no explanation for the cause of the engine light illuminating. We've been repeatedly told there's no safety issue and we can continue driving. Given this situation, I strongly suspect a serious engine-related quality problem with the car, and that the dealer's advice—that we can continue driving—poses a safety hazard.

We received a warning light stating to check coolant system. The dealership stated it was a leak at the head gasket. Our mechanic told us to not drive the car due to the risk of this condition.

I recently started experiencing a delay in acceleration after my car has stopped at a light or stop sign. The car doesn’t immediately accelerate when the gas pedal is used but then it catches and takes off lunging forward very quickly. The has caused many close calls especially with left hand turns. I have almost been hit multiple times due to the car not going and oncoming traffic continuing. I have also almost rear ended other drivers due to the surge of acceleration when the car finally takes off. I took my car to the dealer for an oil change and brought this to their attention. They told me it was a known issue, particularly with the Volkswagen Taos. They said they had several vehicles come in for inspection citing the same problem. So I assumed they would have a solution since it is a known issue, but I was told there was nothing they could do to fix it. They told me this was why my check engine light was on when I brought my vehicle in, they tested for errors, found none, turned the light off, and sent me on my way with my vehicle still experiencing this “turbo lag”. I goggled the issue and there is a lot of information online and reports of the same experience but no solutions. Does someone need to die before car manufacturers are held accountable to fixing this? It is documented with the dealership that I had concerns about this and I will be taking legal action should an accident occur because of this issue because this isn’t right. They literally told me, “I would hate to charge you money for us to do work on your car knowing we cannot fix it.” And of course the issue didn’t show up until my car hit a certain number of miles. I bought the car brand new in 2021 and have maintained the required servicing.

Rear brake pads worn out at 30,000 miles. Never had a car ever need rear brake pads replaced before even after 150,000 miles. I understand some owners have had the rear brakes pad on this vehicle totally worn out at 10,000 miles. VW extended the warranty from 12k to 24k miles, so they must be aware they have an issue of premature wear. 24k miles falls between the regularly scheduled service intervals so when I took my vehicle for regularly scheduled service at 30,000 miles I was told they were worn out and now have a large expense. Pretty convenient for VW it seems. A lot of folks who do not take their car back to a dealership for oil changes every 10,000 miles are easily going to have rear brake failure as most places that change oil don't look at the brakes at all, and who anticipate rear brake wearing out in the first place.

Driving uphill on the highway at 80 mph with cruise control on. I then turned the cruise control off. Vehicle lost complete engine power and could no longer accelerate. All the warning lights came on, vehicle displayed “max rpm 4000x” with little speed left on vehicle I was able to move to the shoulder of highway and park. The vehicle displayed EPC light and “Please start engine manually” after several minutes I restarted vehicle it did start but it was delayed. I resumed my commute and after getting off the highway I came to a complete stop at the stop sign and when I accelerated the vehicle felt like the brakes got slammed on and it jerked, while a vehicle was following close behind me. Extreme safety hazard

Always running low on coolant Must have head gasket issues, dealer been saying no issues but been having to top off coolant

I purchased this vehicle new in Jan 2022. I have had multiple issues with sensors needing to be replaced, auto start/stop not working properly, coolant light flashing on and off intermittently Feb 2023 recall - owner manual insert April 2023 recall - software update Oct 2023 check engine light coming on - needed N80 valve Dec 2023 auto start not working - dealer states no fault codes Dec 28, 2023 auto start still not working, pushed for more thorough evaluation - found a P019600 fault (engine oil temp sensor), they had a tech service bulletin for ECM software 2024 - intermittent and sporadic issues with different warning lights July/Aug 2024 coolant light coming on again after cold start after sitting all night -dealer says nothing wrong Aug 2024 - I requested service dept to check head gasket - they did and found it to be leaking. was told part would take 2-3 days to arrive and have about a 3 day repair time. It's been 2 weeks. I have not heard from dealer until parents reached out to the dealership. Parts for head gasket replacement are on backorder with no known ETA (9-2-24)

I went for my 30K mile warranty check. As I was as driving to the appointment the red engine light came on. It was the engine coolant. There is an issue with the head gasket on this model. I asked for it to be checked. The Service department said there is no leak and they replenished the coolant. I have read about this with many other VW Taos owners. I was also told I need new brakes. The brakes were replaced 16,000 miles ago. The brakes are substandard. This is the second time I've needed brakes on my car. I only have 29K miles on the car.

I have 44,000 miles on my 2022 VW Taos. The EPC warning light came on. Took it to VW dealership. It needed a “software update”, which was still covered under warranty

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the infotainment system screen display inadvertently turned black. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the infotainment system screen needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the part; however, the rearview camera became inoperable after the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that a software update was being developed to correct the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Periodically, when trying to accelerate, the car stutters as if it's not getting any fuel and the check engine light will flash on briefly, then go off, and keep flashing on when pressing the gas pedal. It will continue to do this until you stop, turn the car off, open then close the door, let it set for about a minute, start the car again, and you HAVE to turn off the Automatic start/stop. Once you do that, and continue to keep turning off the auto start/stop every time you start the car for a few days to a week, it will resolve the issue for about a few months (or shorter if you drive frequently to where the auto start/stop is activated more frequently). -Engine? -Fuel Injection? -Automatic Start/Stop The car stuttered and acted like it was going to shut off while driving down the road. This could have caused an accident or even caused irreplaceable engine damage. It has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center because it is random and once you shut the car off and the auto start/stop, it resolves the issue for a short time. I have called the dealer and I have called VW company to report the issue, but they both just refer me back to the other. No, the vehicle has not been inspected. No symptoms or warning lamps. The check engine light only comes on after the car stutters and struggles to accelerate for a few seconds, then it will flash on and off depending of if I am pressing the gas pedal.

Good afternoon, I own a 2022 VW Taos since April of 2022, I took my car for service to the dealership for 10k and 20k. When my vehicle had approximately 14,000 miles I do not know if the technicians actually checked my rear breaks. One more thing I got a letter from VW company saying that the VW Taos had issues with premature worn out rear brakes, the warranty was extended for a period of time of 2 years or 24,000 miles. Recently close to 2 weeks ago my Taos started making really bad noises coming from my rear breaks, made and appointment for today 10:00 am 8/6/2024 at Emich VW in Denver Co. When 30k service was performed and rear breaks were checked the VW gave me the surprise that I needed new rear breaks replacement of pads and rotors, I informed them about the service bulletin of the issues with the rear breaks but they stated that because the deadline was on April/2024 it was not covered under warranty. This is very frustrating because VW should extend the warranty on something that they know is defective from the factory and they already knew the issues that they had with the rear breaks, now dealership gave a quote of over 900 dlls to get it fix, my safety was at risk including my family's because VW knew about this but they gave a deadline of 2 years knowing that the breaks will fail around 24,000 miles or after the 2 years, something is wrong with the break system and I know because I used to be a mechanic. It has been just over 4 months since the deadline on April and I would like to make VW responsible for this issues and fix my car for free under warranty.

FUEL TANK SENOSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED WITHIN 2 YEAR OF OWNING VEHICHLE. DEALER SAYS THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE CHANGED

Paint is peeling along panel edges and roof seams. A VW inspector confirmed original OEM paint. Multiple VW Taos owners have reported similar clear coat failures. Not impact-related and not environmental damage. VW, however, refuses to accept responsibility.

My Hose attachment for the fuel that leads into the engine was leaking and it could have started on fire, VW Schumacher failed to catch this, a local mechanic found this problem, my check engine light keeps coming on as well.

I purchase a 2022 VW Taos in February of 2022. Right after I purchase I got a coolant warning light. Took it to dealer and they added coolant. This stated happening a couple of time with the same fix by dealer. In March of 2023 they tested the cooling system and found nothing wrong and said the reason the car was loosing coolant was because the cap was not installed correctly and the coolant evaporated. The car still continues to loose coolant. Took the car back a few more times again the same fix, add coolant. Last week the check engine light came on and took the car to dealer. Now they tell me the car needs a new head cover gasket and since I have 58,000 miles it is no longer under warranty. I have taken the car to the dealership numerous times for the coolant being low and nothing was ever done to fix it. Now I am stuck paying $5200 for repairs that should have been done when the car was under warranty but an incompetent dealership never figured out what was wrong with it.

First it wouldn’t start, then all these issues All of these including the TPS Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning and the windows would sometimes roll down and not back up or would not roll down at all.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while coming to a stop sign, the vehicle jerked abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact became aware that the transmission was leaking transmission fluid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed; however, the transmission was repaired. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The dealer referenced an unstated TSB for a head gasket failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

First, I purchased my 2022 VW Taos (VIN [XXX] ) brand new from Rudolph VW in El Paso, Texas on [XXX]. For the most part, the vehicle has maintained its integrity until it was brought to my attention that the rear brakes needed replacement at 7, 230 miles. The brake replacement occurred April of 2023 and replaced by a warranty extension that was offered by VW and at no cost to me. As you can see, not too many miles are on the vehicle from date of purchase to the time the brakes were replaced in April of 2023. Based on my conversation with the dealership, VW is very aware of this problem based on the mere fact that the quality of the brake pad is not up to par. On June of 2024, I took my car in for a wheel alignment and was told once again the rear brakes were in need of replacement at a cost to me of $600. I was really confused and concerned how this can be since I don’t have a lot of miles on the vehicle YoY. After discussing this issue with the Certified VW Mechanic at the dealership, other Taos owners have experienced the same problem with the rear brake's wearing out too soon! I also got a second opinion from a reputable mechanic in my area, and was told the rear brakes shouldn’t be wearing out that quickly. While there, after additional inspection of the rear brakes, the mechanic made me aware the left rear caliper is damaged and requires replacement. At this point, I am seeking help to begin an investigation which I hope will create a recall. I thank you for your attention to this matter. If you require documentation, please let me know. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In the two years I have had this car it has gone into limp home mode stating “start/stop error” while I am drivig the vehicle. I have taken it to my dealership and they will not do anything to fix the problem. The vehicle has also cut off twice while I am driving it with no warning lights which has caused other Volkswagen models to be recalled

This complaint is related to a coolant leak. The issue started around the 13,000 mile mark when warning lamps came on at the instrument cluster. The warning was for low coolant. The vehicle was brought into the dealership and they replaced the cap to the reservoir and could not find additional issues. Off and on the coolant warning was triggered and was advised by the dealer to top off the coolant as this is just something that happens with these models due to the air pressure. At 56,000 miles, the coolant ran low again and under a pressure test, it was noticed that it was a leak at the cylinder head and the engine would need to be fixed upwards of 4,000 dollars. This is an issue not only financially but for the safety of those within the vehicle. This is due to the vehicles capability of overheating and no longer working as such low miles, causing those owning and driving it to be left stranded on the roadways.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, his daughter attempted to start the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

It is my understanding there have been reports of issues with the rear brakes on the 2022 Volkswagen Taos. Some owners have complained about excessive brake noise, premature wear, and in some cases, problems with the electronic parking brake. These issues have led to concerns about the reliability and safety of the braking system in the Taos. It’s also my understanding Volkswagen has acknowledged some of these problems and has issued technical service bulletins (TSBs) to address complaints. I am experiencing rear brake issues on my 2022 Taos' rear brakes as stated above. I have not been issued a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) nor has Volkswagon Corporate USA issued any recalls. My car has 18,000 miles and is scheduled to go in for service this Wednesday. When I called my dealership’s service department, the service manager stated he was aware of premature rear brake wear on the 2022 Taos. I find it hard to believe Volkswagon Corporate doesn’t know about this problem however the service manager does. An internet inquiry will prove TSB’s have been issued. One source is ChatGBT among other sources. I fully expect this to be covered under warranty and if it not, I would like to know how I can contact someone directly at the NHTSA if possible.

Head Gasket Leaking Coolant, yes it's available for inspection Engine could cease to operate properly Head gasket leaking was confirmed by Volkswagen Dealer No, I had a low coolant light, manual says add fluid This is a very HIGH COST REPAIR Brake Pads were worn out at 16,000 miles, replace ourselves because out of warranty at the time

There is a break issue where they are using cheap quality parts. My car has 26,000 miles in 3 years and the breaks and rotors are all gone. When we try to break the whole car starts shaking. Dealership know about the issue but won’t replace the break pads because of car having 2000 more miles than warranty.

From the start, car regularly needed coolant topped off. Dealer said there was no issue. At 68,000 miles other mechanic noticed a major oil leak. Took it to dealer and needed cylinder head gasket replaced. Apparently there are many many people with a similar issue. I however did not discover it until I was out of warranty. They should not be getting away with this. This is a near $4,000 repair I have to come with out of pocket (plus interest) which is due to manufacturing defect and not simple wear and tear.

2022, Volkswagen Taos VIN: [XXX] Dealer Servicing:Nailey Volkswagen, 1550 Mansell Road, Alpharetta, GA 3009 We have owned this vehicle since [XXX]/2022 and I’m starting to regret buying it. We have had a ton of random things gone wrong with this vehicle, like Fluids Leak, Faulty Cylinder Head Gasket, Coolant Leak, Check Engine Light ON doesn’t function sometimes. This Car stayed with Dealer Service Center more than in my drive way. We are completely fed up with this car., and we are totally concerned and scared as my son drives this car., with all the mechanical issues I am seeing, it’s really getting worried of his security with this car. Overall, the car was with the DEALER is 7+ Months in the last 21 Months I own this car. I’m super annoyed with this whole situation. Today I dropped it off again, after receiving the car just 5 days ago from OIL CHANGE and I see Check Engine Light ON…. Dealer don’t have LOANER CAR to support my son job and his classes during summer. Moreover, I am not comfortable taking the car back… you guys rather buy this back… or get a more stable model for my son…. We cannot accept this car anymore…. WE DON’T FEEL SAFE FOR MY SON TO DRIVE THIS CAR., Appreciate your immediate attention into this for resolution… if not I need to find other ways going legal with this issue to US Government, BBB and so on… INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hi

See attached document for complaint.

Car has 11,144. Took it in for coolant issues had NY State Inspection done. Was told rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced at the cost of1000.00 dollars. I need to check fronts in 6 months. I use the car mostly to see my daughter and granddaughter in Ct. mostly highway driving. I went on line and found a lot of customers are having the same problem. This is my third VW LEASE I never had a problem with brakes. I was upset that this is a problem for a lot of people. I also have a check engine check coolant problem. This will be the sixth time I am bringing the car in. They are keeping my car with no loaner for a week to replace the head gasket. I have a baby shower on Long Island for my niece and will have to pay hundreds of dollars for a rental or Uber. I am disabled and live on a thousand dollars a month.

Engine stalled while operating the vehicle. Engine would not start after stalling. Vehicle had to be towed.

In April 2024, the VW Taos leaked coolant due to a faulty gasket. Upon being fixed, an EPC light came on and leaked oil. This caused us to have it towed to the dealership for repairs to the oil cap lining. After the car was returned, the light was cleared and no longer leaked oil. In May 2024, the EPC light reappeared and cause a significant reduction when accelerating at 50 mph. When the light came on the vehicle had errors stating that the max rpms are exceeded and the car reduced power. We took the car to VW State College who was unable to find an issue with the car and cleared the light. We were able to drive the vehicle at slow speeds back to Moon Township for diagnostic and testing. The vehicle has remained with VW since late may and as of 6/11/2024, Volkswagen is unable to determine the cause of the EPC light. The second time the EPC light came on, the car stalled out at an intersection causing significant injury risk to the occupants. VW Moon Township has performed the investigations and VW State College was unable to diagnose the EPC light cause. The EPC light did not appear prior to the initial coolant leak.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated while driving 30-40 MPH, the Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning light illuminated, and the vehicle was sputtering while driving. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that upon scanning the vehicle with a scanner, diagnostic codes indicating an EPC and throttle body failure were retrieved. Additionally, the scanner retrieved the recall alert of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V214000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,382.
