The fuel/emissions system failed due to a defective carbon canister, which was covered under an active Volkswagen factory extended warranty. The vehicle has since been repaired, so the original defective part was retained by the replacing dealer and is likely unavailable for independent inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle experienced sudden, intermittent engine stalling while being operated on public roadways. This created an immediate safety hazard, leaving me vulnerable to rear-end collisions and loss of vehicle control in active traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. While the original dealer (Volkswagen of North Tampa) completely failed to inspect the part on 9/1/2026 and misdiagnosed the vehicle, a second authorized Volkswagen service center successfully reproduced, confirmed, and diagnosed the defective carbon canister on 9/22/2026. The original dealer also later admitted in writing via email that they \"missed the carbon canister issue.\" Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle and the failed component were inspected and verified by a certified manufacturer technician at the second authorized Volkswagen dealership service center during the repair on 9/22/2026. No police or insurance representatives were involved as no crash occurred. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The primary symptom was sudden, unpredictable engine stalling. These symptoms first appeared approximately two months prior to my first service appointment on September 1, 2026. There were no specific dashboard warning lamps or error messages that predicted the sudden stalling events.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"ATLAS","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
