2024 Volkswagen Taos
This year drew 50 complaints against a median of 9 across the Volkswagen Taos's other years, 5.6× that median. No single fault was reported unusually often, and it did not reach the 2.5× threshold this site flags at.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.
| Complaints filed | 50 |
|---|---|
| Median for this model | 9 |
| Involving a crash | 1 |
| Recalls | 0 |
| NHTSA crash rating | 4/5 |
| EPA combined | 29 mpg |
How this was worked out
Every year of the Volkswagen Taos was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
