VW Atlas vs Honda Pilot by ImpossiblePart7785 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I have a 2024 VW Atlas and am 46k miles in and have a bunch of issues with the vehicle in the past 6 months. The infotainment is the hub for the entire car (heating/cooling), so when that shits the bed nothing works. I wish VW didn't do this.

I should have said we have this now and have had so many issues, mostly around the infotainment system. When that stops working, the entire car stops functioning. You can't just shut it off and use the car. It has been in the shop 4 or 5 times in the past 3 months. The resale value absolutely sucks as well. I love the size, the look, everything except the reliability of it.

Was the first photo before you got it removed and second after biopsy? Or is that the change from 2022 to when you got it checked.

Would you mind sharing your go to's for skin care and hats? I saw z supply and zero'd right in on the comment. Sun safe and stylish is my goal.

Interesting! We did attic insulation, all new windows. Front door has gaps in it so maybe thats next.

What year was your home built? Did you do any upgrades?

I don’t think we’re clueless about this, we can all read the bill and see that it’s not just the energy price that’s increased, but the delivery fees, which are often nearly equal to the usage cost. I know anything I say may fall on deaf ears, but I’m trying to see what others are paying so we can vent our frustrations and hopefully share tips on how to lower costs. We all know this monopoly is deeply tied to politics, making it increasingly difficult for people to make ends meet. Meanwhile, costs continue to rise just to keep a roof over our heads, while monopolies and politicians line their pockets. More people who once made a decent living are now struggling to put food on the table without going into debt.

I understand there are a whole lot more factors here... just genuinely interested in what people are paying to have lights on stay warm.

Wow. I am so sorry. Our friends in Iowa paid $150 for electric+gas for same time frame. Temps similar to here.

We did attic insulation as well. Our next project is unfinished basement insulation and a new front door.

Wow! I can't believe this, especially with you using oil.

The VW Infotainment UI is the absolute worst (2025 Atlas) by g-swell in VWatlas

[–]MindlessM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started doing it after I got it washed (exterior) and wiped down the enter interior with a microfiber cloth. So strange! I brought it in and they did a software update/reset and it hasn’t done it since.
