Used 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Consumer Reviews
Air Bag Sensors
2022 model. I have had it in the shop twice for air bag warning lights on. I have had to sensors replaced and I need another nut there is NO PARTS available I have been waiting since January and they are telling me August now. This is crazy. Lets hope my air bags actually work if I ever have an accident.

Great, but with terrible squeaky breaks
I love my vehicle, from the inside and out and everything that it comes with and does. My only cons is that mine is a 2021 and it doesn't have a remote push to start key (it does have a push to start button on the inside though), no navigation (have to use your phone), no front camera (just reverse) and even though my breaks are good via service and myself checking them, they squeak so loud and crazy all the time!! What bothers me is all of my cons, my 2017 Ford Explorer had them all, all of the bells and whistles, but a 2021 more fancy model does not?! The 2017 also had no squeaky breaks.

Atlas cutting off while in drive or reverse
I’ve been in drive, whether stopped at a light or a stop sign and yes the vehicle is equipped with Auto start/stop but mine complete powered off to the point I have to put it in park and turn off and back on quickly. Today I put the vehicle in reverse from drive and the car did not move once again. Powered off is possibly the wrong phrase but basically the vehicle does not move. It has happened 3 times in the last few months but the dealership claims they have to experience the issue, so my safety is just on the line of the car stalling out. Typically it has been when the idle is low, instead of high speeds thankfully.

Disappointing
Was very impressed with the 2021.5 Atlas SEL V6 4 motion when purchased new about 13,000 miles ago, impressive space, comfort, technology, styling but all is wasted because of poor quality and excessive mechanical issues and problems. Other owners are experiencing the same defects also, it doesn't help with poor service from VW dealers either. (Both in Illinois and Florida). On the positive side, traded it for more than I paid for it.
