2018 Volkswagen Atlas 4dr SUV

| 47000 mi | AC was not working. Dealer charged system and replaced a part towards the front of the system |

| 39000 mi | Blind spot monitoring quit working. Could no longer be turned on. |
| 6000 mi | Airbag warning light appeared. First trip (in Dec) they tightened some connectors. Second trip they replaced the airbag control module (under driver's seat). Took several days to get the part so it was undrive-able (no airbags!). Provided a loaner. |

| 27000 mi | Electronic door lock was malfunctioning. It was replaced. |
| 23000 mi | The peripheral control module was replaced under warranty. The 360 parking cameras and reverse camera would sometimes fail to display. The screen would get purple digital distortions. |
| 53000 mi | Rear view camera was intermittent. Took 3 attempts to repair. Camera was replaced first, Module 5F was replaced next, and finally, the around view module was replaced, which corrected the issue. |

| 6000 mi | The system that controls lane keeping assistance and ACC went out. |
| 10000 mi | Replaced the entertainment screen because a line of dead pixels showed up on it. |

| 28000 mi | auto cruise control sensor and auto braking |

| 1000 mi | Bracket bolts found loose during repair of weak AC. Factory tech required new bolts be installed since original were loctited. |
| 18000 mi | AC not cold. Suspect leak, but VW did not send out fitting to refill with coolant. After 3 weeks of waiting, dealer filled normally, and expects another return visit. Hopefully, they'll have the tool from VW by then. |
| 37000 mi | Not blowing cold. Installed leak check dye, recharged system. Will need to return to look for dye traces. |
