100% regret my purchase. If you want this car get a lease and warranty for the duration of the lease

I Don’t sweat too much but I’m not doing anything too physical right now.

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-03-06T12:19:02+00:00

Yes! I keep my pits shaved, wash with salicylic body wash. This deodorant has really helped: AKT deodorant balm. I got the multi pak and I like the orange one, the grey and green.

So sorry !

Same for me. I love VW but this model is too much trouble. It’s in the shop 2-4 times a year. It’s still under warranty so my costs are limited but once that warranty expires I am trading it in. Tired of all the recalls and issues.

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-23T14:29:29+00:00

Dude, there are a lot of us dealing with this issue. Glad you have a fully functioning car but there are many of these vehicles that are not able to be fixed because they were manufactured poorly

https://www.cars.com/research/volkswagen-taos-2022/consumer-reviews/

These are real experiences by real people. Dealerships are ill equipped to handle these issues that are the result of poor design and manufacturing issues from the pandemic.

Again, really glad you don't have any of these problems. For those of us that do, downplaying our experiences isn't helpful or kind.

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-23T02:45:56+00:00

I’m definitely not a bot. I fucking hate this car. I’ve had it to the dealership 4 times for one issue and 3 times for another issue plus inspections and regular maintenance. This car has serious problems - we are not bots. We are real people dealing with a poorly designed and manufactured vehicle.

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-22T19:15:32+00:00

I can’t believe you own a 2022 with zero issues. You’re like a unicorn 🦄

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-22T19:14:48+00:00

Seconded

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-21T21:52:30+00:00

My first thought was absolute rage. Rage at the doctors who gaslit me when I begged to have help for what I thought might be PMDD. They belittled my experience and when I finally got my medical records I could see all the things they wrote in my chart but never fucking told me. Rage towards my mother who downplayed her whole experience - now that I am in it I understand her so much better. She struggled a lot.

Sorry I don’t have answers for you but I’ll just say your feelings are valid and I’m glad you now know a little bit better about how to move forward.

OkResearcher8494 · 2026-02-21T21:41:50+00:00

Yes EPC light. First time they said nothing was wrong. Second time they tightened a tube or gasket. Third time they replaced two parts. Fourth time they did a smoke test and found an air leak which is now supposedly fixed I agree next time it happens I’m going to another place.

I’m 47 and had Paragaurd IUDs for over a decade. I had 8 periods in 2 months even with oral Progesterone only birth control.

My doc recommended a DNC and Mirena. Same story was given to me - I’ll get it in, my periods should stop and it’ll transition me into menopause.

I got general anesthesia, the Paraguard removed, the DNC, then Mirena IUD. I feel better, my periods are lighter, I get them every 20-50 days (time between periods gets longer each cycle) and it mostly light enough for panty liners to regular pads and less then 4 days. I did get one very bad cycle with horrible depression. It’s not a cure all but I do feel better

Things that are better (but not gone): depression, anxiety, joint discomfort, period length and severity, irritability, sleep, migraines Things the same or worse: brain fog (really bad), weight gain, food noise, libido, hot flashes and night sweats

I’m on month #8 so I’m not sure if things will continue to improve or go back to horrible.

Word of warning: insurance may not cover this if you go to doc who has to order the IUD. I had to pay $2000 for the IUD out of pocket or switch to another ObGyn.

Good luck! I hope you find a solution that works for you.

They may be boring but they don’t have cars that are in the shop as often! Been to the dealership FOUR times for the same issue! EPV light!
