I bought a brand new 2018 VW Atlas less than 2 months ago. Every time I start the car an alarm/buzzing noise sounds - almost like a warning indicator - but no warning lights are showing on the dash. The noise has also gone off a few times while driving. I can’t find any references of this noise and why it is happening…and I’m sure if I take it to the VW dealer they’ll tell me they don’t know either. Anyone else have this problem?

And maybe not. But that is why you have a warranty. At least it will be on record so if it gets worse they will already be aware of it.

Good point about at least getting it on record. Thank you!
