I've been eyeballing a Cross Sport as our next car. Looking for something with AWD and larger for more cargo (debating this or a full-size pickup). I haven't bought a car since 2019 and the guy who I used for all my other VW purchases left the industry so I haven't kept up-to-date on the overall market.
What sort of deals (target % off MSRP) can I reasonably expect on MY24? I know prices have been bad for buyer in 2021-2022 due to manufacturing shortages. Is that still the case now ..read more

I stumbled about another issue.
Atlas SEL 2024. Driving at night I noticed that the temperature and volume control touch buttons under the infotainment system are not illuminated. Is this another defect or just another stroke of a VW genius to save a few cents?
You would think that if they can illuminate an Atlas logo on the dashboard they can do it with touch buttons ..read more

2021 VW Atlas R Line AWD - SEL Premium R-Line 4Motion (2021.5) Sport Utility 4D - V6, 3.6 Liter - Automatic, 8-Spd & Tiptronic
I have a squeak and/or grind on the front left of my Atlas. Sometimes, when I take a turn to the right the car has a bounce in the steering wheel. The front left only squeaks or grinds when I put on the brakes.
I have changed the following items out on the front left:
Brakes (2x)
Caliper
Rotor
Hub/Barring Assembly
Is anyone else having or have had this issue? Do...

Hello all! Have some issues. 2018 VW Atlas 4motion No sunroof. A week ago, we noticed a pungent smell coming from the car. After searching everywhere, we found the right rear passenger carper was smelling terribly. Sort of like ammonia. It was wet to the touch and the all weather mat at the bottom was also wet. I cleaned it up and put towels on it. Tried to absorb the wetness until it stopped being wet. This past weekend we noticed the carpet was soaked again! We took it in and VW is...

Hi,
I posted a similar question in the Jetta forum. I have found a lot of old posts from pre-MKVII describing finding and removal of the CarNet module in older cars. I would like to know if anyone knows where the system is in the 2018+ Atlas, and/or how to remove or disable it.
The purpose is to disable all VW "tracking" features on the car ..read more

My 23 Atlas V6, at 15K miles is getting a P0461: Fuel Level Sensor “A” Circuit Range / Performance passive/sporadic fault code being set in the ECU. It is NOT requesting MIL illumination. I just happened to plug in my scantool to do a health check. I got this code a few months ago and cleared it, and it didn't come back after about a month. Obviously, this code points to the fuel level sending sensor being faulty, however, I have not noticed anything wrong with my fuel...

Some moron decided to make a left turn into traffic and totaled my wife's 2021 Atlas. Wife and baby girl walked away from the wreck almost unharmed. And because of that my wife insisted on another Atlas (hard to argue against that).
So now Atlas #3, 2024 SEL. Driver side rear window goes down on one-touch but doesn't come back up on one-touch. You have to hold the bottom. all other window do one-touch up and down. I tried recalibrating the window but that didn't do the trick.
Does anyone...

Currently on a train heading to a city where we found an Atlas online for sale. It has the specs and the mileage we are looking for. We didn’t buy round trip tickets so we are fully prepared to buy the Atlas and drive it home. Can’t share details yet because I am paranoid someone else will snatch it up before us even though we put a deposit down.
This is an exciting trip I get to have with my wife and wanted to share it on this forum.
Here are some pics for now:[ATTACH...
