Common Problems: VOLKSWAGEN T-CROSS
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Keyless start refusal and stop-start stalling on 1.0 TSI cars(Moderate)
RAC's T-Cross owner survey found a cluster of starting-system faults: cars that need the start button pushed several times before the engine fires, traced to an in-car electronic assembly rather than the starter itself, plus lag between the key and the engine that makes an urgent pull-away hesitant. Auto Express separately recorded early manual 1.0 TSI 115 cars cutting out because of faulty stop-start sensors.
- Two recalls: curtain airbags (2020) and seatbelt-warning software (2021)(Serious)
Auto Express lists a February 2020 recall covering 35 cars built in May or June 2019 that left the factory with curtain airbags which might not inflate, cured by replacement airbags, plus an October 2021 campaign covering 1,104 cars built January-June 2021 whose software failed to warn if a rear passenger was unbelted. Carwow's reliability page independently counts the same two actions - incorrectly fitted curtain airbags and an instrument-cluster software fault - so an outstanding recall is a genuine negotiating point on a used car.
