The car stalls at low speeds causing a safety concern for me and my kid. Reading in the VW Atlas Forum, this could be caused by a failed vapor (or carbon) canister. VW has not issued a recall on this as far as I know. This happens randomly. When this happens, the check engine light comes out.

I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding the repeated premature failure of the LED daytime running light (DRL) on my 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, which currently has approximately 80,000 miles. This is the second occurrence of a daytime running light failure on my vehicle, despite having previously replaced the failed component. The repeated failure raises serious concerns about the reliability and durability of Volkswagen’s LED lighting system and suggests a potential underlying manufacturing or design defect. Daytime running lights are an important safety feature intended to improve vehicle visibility to other motorists, pedestrians, and oncoming traffic. When one of these lights fails, the vehicle loses part of its intended daytime visibility system, potentially increasing the risk of an accident, particularly during cloudy weather, reduced visibility, or other challenging driving conditions. It is especially concerning that this issue has occurred again after a previous replacement. Vehicle owners should not have to repeatedly replace expensive lighting components that are designed to provide reliable, long-term operation. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate these recurring LED daytime running light failures in Volkswagen Atlas vehicles to determine whether a widespread safety-related defect exists and whether a recall or manufacturer-funded corrective action is warranted.
