Lots of problems dealership can't fix

Dec 18/20 - picked up 2021 Atlas R Line that we purchased from the dealership. Since then, we have had to visit your dealership 5 times (in the past 5 months) for an issue that remains unresolved. Each time that we leave the dealership, we are assured that the issues have been resolved. We now video the problems and send them to the service manager. The infotainment system seems to be the problem - we've had continued intermittent issues with the bluetooth not working for phone calls and playing music, radio volume shuts off and we can't bring the volume up, backup camera freezes or goes black, and climate control don't work. The car has had two new radio modules installed in an attempt to fix the ongoing issues. We were told by the dealership that this was not a known issue by VW and our vehicles was the only one with this problems. We approached two with the same vehicle and they had experienced similar problems. We love tlthe vehicle when it works but would not recommend buying one until these problems are fixed.

So many weird issues

MM186, 08/02/2023
2022 Volkswagen Atlas SE w/Technology 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

My 2022 Atlas is my second one after having a mostly good experience with my first one. However, this time I have had so many issues that driving it has become frustrating to downright frightening. My infotainment system would not reliably work (it would turn off and on, would sometimes take several minutes to turn on after turning the car on, or would sometimes not turn on at all) which also rendered the backup camera unusable when that happened. Then it had an issue with the anti-slip regulator turning on while I was driving slowly on local roads, which meant that I was pushing the gas pedal without any response from the car while in traffic. The dealer finally realized these two issues were connected and there was a loose electrical connection that was fixed. More recently I had an issue where the car turned off in the middle of the road while I was waiting to make a left hand turn and gave me a message to manually restart my engine. Now I feel like I am constantly waiting for the next issue to happen and hoping that it doesn't lead to an accident on the road. I've never felt less safe or comfortable in a new car than I do in this one.

Front aid technology issues galore!

2021 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 08/20 (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

What else is there to say other than my car has been to the dealership 9 times since July and the issues are still not resolved!! A front camera that has been replaced but not working as the firmware is not compatible with the software of the car, lane assist that disengages on its own, front driving aides that will signal a crash is imminent with nothing in front of you and front sensors that either do not work at all OR will not stop going through a drive through or in traffic!! Dealership is great but VW corporate is dragging there feet on helping me out! Clearly something wrong with this one so either put me in a new one or buy me out!

Tried the Highlander Platinum, Palisade Limited

Shopped for a month and was going to go with the Highlander. We first tried the 20 Atlas. Before buying the Highlander, we tried the 21 Atlas and went home with it. To us it was better than all of them and much better than the 20 Atlas. The price point was a big item. We were able to get the 21 SEL Premium, in our desires color, for 46k out the door. No one could even come close with the other manufacturers. The space, ride, and better pricing sold it.
