2022 Volkswagen Taos Electrical Problems

Since the purchase of my 2022 VW Taos in 2022, there has been a repeated issue of the check engine light coming on at random times. Each time it has happened the code indicates a problem with the fuel evap system. The issue has been fixed multiple times by replacing parts.

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.

Fuel System: The car hesitates when you push the gas, and then will suddenly go with a jolt. That is unsafe as you are turning on to road and when you push the gas-you do not move for a few seconds which could cause an accident. There are no warning lights regarding this, however, lots of the same exact complaints for this model on the internet.

2 instances occurred where the auto start/stop initiated in the midst of driving resulting in a stall and required the car to be restarted in order to start driving again. One time occurred while backing up and another while taking a turn both at low speeds. There was a recall on 2021 Volkswagen Taos’s for the same problem.

My car has lagged two different times and would not accelerate causing me to get off the road and turn the car off. The two occurances were about 6-8 months apart from eachother. The engine recorded multiple misfires and the second time it happened I was able to get a video of it.

When coming to a stop the car stalled, max RPM 3000 warning fired with check engine light. Once restarted it bucked as if it was not getting fuel then stalled again. Dealer had just installed update 48 hours prior to this happening

Vehicle was involved in a front end collision with left front impact. Damage spread across front of vehicle. Air bags did not deploy.

Periodically the MIB infotainment screen blacks out; this in turn places a warning error in the driver center console screen. While this occurs, nothing else can be accessed or displayed in the center console screen. This creates a potentially dangerous situation as it can lead to confusion on a variety of things (example: Is cruise control still engaged?).

The rear camera blacks out on the dashboard. Sometimes when I start the dashboard, the thing is dark. It doesn't come on even while driving.

Vehicle lost power control due to engine malfunction. This was caused by a leak in the coolant head gasket. This is an issue that Volkswagen has already identified with these cars, but has neglected to recall.

​This statement is to formally document my ongoing and serious concerns regarding my 2022 Volkswagen Taos, which has been in and out of the Pasadena Volkswagen, California, service department for the past three weeks due to a persistent fuel smell and related fuel system issues. ​Despite the recent maintenance and attempted repairs, the vehicle continues to exhibit these dangerous problems.

I am reporting serious electrical/CPU defects and dealership workmanship issues with my 2022 Volkswagen Taos. Since purchase, the vehicle has shown repeated electronic malfunctions: dash blackouts, HVAC/remote start errors, infotainment resets, and a cooling fan that ran 24+ hours after shutoff.

Car dies/stalls while in drive when adaptive is engaged. Entertainment / navigation system has quit working despite multiple times I’ve reset. Acceleration is dangerous at times and accelerates too quickly.

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.

While driving my vehicle the engine became unable to shift gears or speed up. The check engine light came up and shortly after the EPC light appeared. After coming to a stop, the vehicle died and was unable to turn on.

Vehicle has gone limp, almost like a stall, no matter how much the gas pedal is pressed. It happens for a few seconds and then it picks back up like normal. Check engine light and EPC light come on.

I had a check engine light, epc warning, lane assist deactivated and stop start disabled all at once while on a drive in a remote area without cell service. The car had a dangerous loss of power. I brought it to the dealer and they told me there is no fix as its a common software issue that apparently faulty detects bad gas.

I was driving on the highway traveling approximately 65- 70 miles an hour when my TAOS began losing speed. I attempted to accelerate when I realized my speed had dropped to 56mph. I was unable to accelerate and a message popped on my dashboard showing about maximum RPM cannot exceed 4000.

Engine electrical issue with knock sensor, dealer replaced only to find out they now need to install an engine electrical harness complete. Engine warning light comes on and states max engine RPM's limited to 4000, while doing so engine power is cut resulting in major loss of acceleration, while engine light is on safety system does not work.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated when she exited the highway at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle completely stalled in the middle of the road. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that shortly after accelerating from a stop light, the vehicle suddenly stalled and the lane assist disabled, tire pressure sensor warning light, and the brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to coast into a nearby gas station where she turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle regained proper function.

Stepping in the gas, the car takes about 4-5 seconds before it speeds up after each stop. When pulling out of a drive, the car sputtered and the check engine light was flashing and the Start/stop error came on. The delayed driving happens every time I drive the car.

A/c drain clogged resulting in a backup of water to start leaking into the vehicle and steadily dripping onto the airbag module. The dealer did replicate the issue and are repairing. The airbag light illuminated and then the seatbelt light and chime began a couple of days later.

The radio system constantly blanks out and will not come back on for hours even after trying to turn it off and back on. There are major issues that point to the recalls that are known for the 2022 VE Taos however, there are no recalls for my specific vehicle. The vehicle check engine light is constantly on and there is constantly an issue with the fuel system.

I have 44,000 miles on my 2022 VW Taos. The EPC warning light came on. Took it to VW dealership.

Many fuel system issues along with poor brakes create an unsafe vehicle even after the dealership was given several attempts to fix.

Dash lights go so dim at times you cannot see dash. You have to take your eyes off the road to see your speed. There have been numerous post of this happening on vw taos forum website.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The contact stated that while driving out of the driveway, the brakes made an abnormal sound. Additionally, the instrument panel became inoperable.

The screen will freeze when driving and the navigation will freeze about 3x on a 20min drive. Also when I use reverse the camera will freeze or black out and I am not able to see where I am going reverse.

at 20,000 miles the low coolant light came on and I took it to the dealer and they diagnosis it as a leaking through the head gasket my vehicle has been in the shop for approximately one month and to replace the head gasket. Also the information system would not come on or needed to have a hard reset in order to work. Also reported that to the dealer they could not duplicate the problem.

I have a 2022 Taos Volkswagen Sport WG. It was purchased in April 2022. In November 2022 was the first time the dash board lights started to go dark and dimming so low that I could not see my driving speed and after turning vehicle on and off it still did not get better, Therefore, I took into Dealership where I purchased vehicle.

1.) My navigation freezes atleast 3x in a 1 hour drive. I have to reset it every time it freezes. 2.) Rearview camera sometimes blacks out.

I purchased my VW TAOS on Nov 26, 2021, and since then I have experienced faulty issues 4 times. 2022 Jul twice, Sep once, and Nov once. When merged to the main road the car refuses to accelerate and gives strange sounds in transmission/engine area.

I have a 2022 SEL 4motion. I purchased it in December. 7 months later I’m having issues with it.

The rearview camera on our new Volkswagon TAOS does not work. We leased the TAOS on 12/27/21 and the rearview camera malfunctioned for a short time and then completely stopped working soon after. We took it to dealership twice and called Volkswagon several times but were told they do not have the part to fix it.

Modular Infotainment Platform (Radio, Navigation, etc.) called MIB goes blank when driving sometimes. This can be dangerous if it occurs when traffic is heavy and driver is dependent on the navigation system. Also simultaneously the driver center console display only shows the following error message: “Error Dynamic Road Sign Display”.

The car is telling me things are not available such as airbags, blind spot, the rear warning and the tire pressure monitoring system. As well as is has the fuel injector problem that VW has already extended the warranty on.

Complete radio/GPS randomly shuts off. GPS is always saying these VW are in different locations than they are.

I came to a stop at a red light and the engine turned over to preserve energy, once the light turned green and I attempted to gas, the car would not move. I turned off and on repeatedly to try to get the car to go but with no success, I was causing traffic for at least 5 minutes while I had no clue what else to do but wait until it wanted to turn over.

While stop at red light on 2 occasions, the car goes into the auto stop start feature. The light turns green and I depress the accelerator to start to drive and nothing happens. I frantically try to determine what's going on my, shifter is in Drive and nothing.

I have taken my Taos in for 1 year / work 10,000 mile inspection. I was told my breaks are worn and I should monitor them. This should not be happening when the car is one year old with less than 10,000 miles.

I have had start/stop error a few times but the other day I turned my car on and it said car on and chimed that a door was open even tho no light was on indicating which door. So I got out and re closed all of them. I get back in my parking brake is on now and won’t come off.

MIB infotainment system blanks out, simultaneously sending error code to driver center console rendering it useless. Key functions are therefore inoperable or inaccessible, including (but not limited to) TPMS monitoring / alert warning, rear view camera display, and potentially a host of other safety and advanced driver assist functions.

Purchased car on July 22 - only 360 miles on it. Engine cutoff when I stopped in my neighborhood. Additionally, the sound system stopped working - no radio volume for AM/FM/Sirius and phone.
