this place is a big joke especially christine. i brought my car to you all because i was told that you all did good work and that was a lie. once my car was repaired, i noticed that there was a rear traffic alert/blind spot montior error on my vehicle. this feature was working before i brought my car to you all and now it is not working. i explained the situation to christine and she said she would get right on it and have the calibration guy look at it. i told her that this was not a calibration issue because i looked up the error online and told her what it said and she basically told me that i was ignorant, lieing, and did not know what i was talking about. nevertheless i still brought my car back to you all, she told me that same bs, that there was a problem with my passenger side mirror and that was the reason why i was getting that error. below you will see what it says onlne about the error:
if your vw atlas is displaying an "error rear traffic alert/blind spot monitor" message, it likely means the system's radar sensors located in the rear bumper are malfunctioning, potentially due to dirt, debris, damage, or a wiring issue, preventing the system from accurately detecting vehicles in your blind spot or when reversing.
what to do:
check for obstructions:
inspect the rear bumper area for any dirt, snow, ice, or debris that could be blocking the sensors. clean them gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
check for damage:
look for any visible damage to the sensors or their housing on the bumper.
review the system settings:
make sure the blind spot monitor and rear traffic alert features are properly enabled in your vehicle's settings menu.
consult your owner's manual:
refer to your vw atlas manual for specific instructions on how to diagnose and troubleshoot the blind spot monitor system.
potential causes for the error:
faulty sensors:
one or more of the radar sensors in the rear bumper may need to be replaced.
sensor wiring issues:
damaged or loose wiring connecting the sensors to the vehicle's electrical system.
software glitch:
a software malfunction within the vehicle's computer system could be causing the error.
vehicle modification:
recent modifications to the rear bumper or body could be interfering with the sensor functionality.
what to do next:
visit a volkswagen dealership: if cleaning the sensors and checking the settings do not resolve the issue, take your atlas to a volkswagen service center to have the system properly diagnosed and repaired by a qualified technician.
when i attempted to tell christine this information again, she acted as if i was ignorant, lieing and didn't know what i was talking about once again. the only reason why i contacted you all is because collision works were the ones that repaired my vehicle. this is a disgrace and i will tell any and everyone to not use you repair shop because the works are. with the information shown above, this should've been an easy fix however christine did not want to admit that her and her techs messed up and did not know how to fix an issue they caused. read more
