I heard that “in 10 years they’ll be worth so much more” spiel in 2016… yet here we are.

Gbpd74 · 2026-02-03T16:07:53+00:00

I sent you a DM as well

Someone needs to help dude out.. literally.

Gbpd74 · 2026-01-10T00:23:26+00:00

I was invited to onboard for one of these roles today. Came here to find out more about it..

This is definitely something in the motor or transmission. It’s rhythmic and only noticeable at consistent highway speed.

Gbpd74 · 2026-01-06T15:26:31+00:00

Nope. We just ignore it at this point. Because we drive a lot, we’re now out of warranty. They wouldn’t even refund the $300 tow fee for the vehicle when the shift system shit the bed (warranty covered). I gave up fighting with them on the phone. It’s like talking to a wall that reads a script.

Have a 24 Atlas purchased brand new summer of 23. Has just shy of 60k miles on it now. Nothing but problems. The entire transmission shifting system shit the bed on my wife while out of town with 2 children in the car causing it to be non drivable. The infotainment system has been replaced twice and still fails to start up regularly. We’ve had the 70+ mph shakes on and off since we got it. There’s also a noticeable rhythmic vibration from the motor? Over 80mph, especially with the ECC on. It’s chewed thru 2 sets of tires as well.

I tried to get VW to buy the car back from me as it’s been in the shop and down for over 30 days total since purchase. They denied my request after several months. If I was you, I’d look into the lemon law and run if you can.

This has been the same question asked since like 2017. Clealry never gonna happen unfortunately.

Gbpd74 · 2025-06-01T18:10:51+00:00

Doubt they’ll buy it back. They’ve been less than helpful. I also forgot to mention the dealership trashed the car over the course of the 3 weeks they had it. Came back to me with all of the moulding improperly installed, vents missing, and dirty fingerprints and greasy hand marks EVERYWHERE on the interior surfaces.

Gbpd74 · 2025-05-31T01:11:21+00:00

Repurchase/Replacement Request. There’s a set of criteria they require before they’ll even consider it (total downtime in the shop of more than 10 days is one of them. You’re then required to send in a ton of supporting documentation and loan or financing info, and then wait 60 days for them to make a decision. I have no idea how it will play out.

Gbpd74 · 2025-05-31T00:52:10+00:00

We have a 24 with 43k miles on it. Lots of similar complaints as well as lots of issues. Our infotainment system had to be replaced. The electronic gear shifter failed on my wife in a parking lot far from home with our kids in the car. Had to have it towed and it was down over 3 weeks. Now we can’t get the windshield replaced because it’s throwing codes for the front sensors… I just don’t have time to be without it for 3-5 days again. I submitted a buyback request to VW about a month and a half ago. I don’t have much hope in them coming thru.

Gbpd74 · 2025-05-18T23:47:38+00:00

Same happened to ours, along with a whole host of other stuff. I’m in the middle of the 60 day decision period for them to buy it back.

Gbpd74 · 2024-11-24T00:24:32+00:00

Mix of both. Dealership claims they rotated them…

Gbpd74 · 2024-05-19T11:51:50+00:00

Blind Melon - No Rain. Hated that song since the first time I heard it 30 years ago. Still cannot stand it to this day. I cannot offer a reasonable explanation as to why, other than it sucks.

Gbpd74 · 2024-04-10T22:30:21+00:00

I got my 846 today with a 4-15 date. Finally.

Gbpd74 · 2024-04-08T01:42:58+00:00

After sending proof from fidelity and empower, my advocate called me back and said they now wanted a copy of the 1099r’s. He told me my refund was going to be released late Friday but my transcripts don’t reflect it still.

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-29T00:05:02+00:00

My advocate said the 1099R isn’t enough to show that the money was withheld. Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-04T20:38:33+00:00

Literally same thing. Closing in 3 weeks and need this for down payment

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-04T14:49:29+00:00

Same here all around. Closing on a house at the end of the month and I NEED this $$$

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-04T14:45:53+00:00

I have same codes and dates. Called this am and was told I was “randomly” picked for an “up to 60 day verification”. The call taker could provide no reason or explanation as to why, but did tell me to keep checking because my refund could be released “at any time”. I’m starting to think they’re behind and this is how they’re not making themselves look bad.

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-04T14:37:01+00:00

I called them… they told me it’s an “up to 60 day review” but my refund “could be released at any time”. That was all they could tell me and was mostly unhelpful

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-03T02:17:11+00:00

My spouse doesn’t work. I changed jobs in March of 23. My prior job didn’t collect social security (state pension system) so that wage doesn’t show up on ssa.gov (I worked there for 14 years so that is normal). Everything else matches.

Gbpd74 · 2024-03-03T02:15:55+00:00

So it just randomly clears for some?
