I added a post last year at my 10k service stating my rear brake pads needed to be replaced. Update with my 20k service: rear brake pads AND rotors need to be replaced again. Rear brake pads down to 2 mm, front pads (original) still at 12 mm. This is a safety issues with financial consequences.

VOLKSWAGEN TAOS 2024 SERVICE BRAKES

I own a 2024 Volkswagen Taos with 20,600 miles. At my scheduled 20,000-mile service on June 6, 2026, the dealership measured my rear driver side brake pad at 3mm while my front pads measured 10mm. This extreme difference in wear is consistent with the known premature rear brake pad wear issue VW acknowledged on 2022â2023 Taos vehicles and addressed with a warranty extension bulletin. My 2024 Taos was not included in that bulletin despite showing the identical problem. At only 20,600 miles, rear pads should not be at 3mm while front pads remain at 10mm â this is not normal wear and indicates a manufacturing defect in the brake pad material or an electronic parking brake calibration issue causing rear brake bias. Brakes are a critical safety system. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether the 2024 Taos is affected by the same defect, and whether the warranty extension should be expanded to include 2024 model year vehicles.

The odometer does not read correctly upon fill up. Typically the fill up states I have 325 miles per tank but I can drive about 100 miles and it still reads 325 miles until empty, after which time the odometer drops extremely fast and isn't consistent with miles driven. Additionally, twice now, while driving the instrument cluster on both the radio and speedometer have blacked out and I have been unable to view my current speed or general information. I know there is a recall on select taos models facing this same issue and wanted to make sure that my vehicle is documented as having this same issue and may need a software update. My Taos was produced in [XXX]  in February of 2024. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VOLKSWAGEN TAOS 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

At my 20,000 mile maintenance oil change, I was told my rear brakes and rotors were needing to be replaced. The car is a 2024 vw taos with 19,600k miles. I have never had to replace brakes anywhere near this early on any other car so it is not due to driving habits. The windshield wipers will also spontaneously go off even with no rain or precipitation hitting the windshield.

VOLKSWAGEN TAOS 2024 VISIBILITY/WIPER

The vehicle suffered a recurring mechanical failure of the fuel injectors and a flooded EVAP charcoal canister, causing the engine to run lean (Fault P2177) and lose power. This defect creates an unreasonable safety risk as it can cause the engine to stall or lose motive power unexpectedly at highway speeds.  Furthermore, the fuel system defect led to a flooded EVAP system, which poses a potential fire hazard and fuel vapor accumulation. Volkswagen Technical Assistance confirmed the mechanical failure of all four injectors . The defect was initially misdiagnosed as 'fuel contamination,' which delayed the critical safety repair for over 25 days and resulted in a total electrical system failure (battery death) while the vehicle was inoperable.
