Brand New Atlas only 800 miles on it and already Problems with the front Strut.Wierd noise,specially when you cross bump or braking.We brought it back to the dealership and they replaced the Strut Mount on the Driver and the Passenger side and the noise is still there.I think I made horrible mistake traiding my 2013 Touareg(executive edition) for this cheap made SUV. Well you’re getting what you are paying.Now They are trying to fix this problem,Yes problem on Brand New Car.......I don’t Think they will fix it. It’s just poor build vehicle..

The car is still in the dealership,they are trying to fix the problem but I don’t know if I want this car anymore,so far they disamble and assembled twice the mount strut. The noise is still there. Should I ask for buy out from the dealer? I think is cheep materials and parts used for the Atlas. It will be a lots of problems,,I miss my Touareg
