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..

Had my 2021 SEL 4Motion in to the dealer last week for a noticeable clunking sound coming from the front driver side wheel well when going ~ 5-15 MPH and hitting small bumps. Service advisor met me by the vehicle to take the keys and said they have had a number of complaints with this and it is likely the sway bar. 1 hour in the shop and they confirmed it is the sway bar links. Said there was an issue with the ball/socket joint that was known and have ordered replacements. When I asked if the replacements are the from the same manufacturer/part, he claimed that VW went to a different supplier after the first issue. I didn't press on who that may be, but here are the two parts that are coming:
VW3QF-411-315-A (CONN LINK)
VWN-015-081-8 (NUT)
I'll send an update when it is fixed and see if this does the trick.

Had a look at the current sway bar link and took a picture of the part number label that was on it, just to have something to check against when the shop finally does replace this part. When I look up this part number (3QF-411-315-A ) on "parts.vw.com" site, and select a 2021 Atlas, there is a message that states this part doesn't fit the 2021 Atlas. I'm guessing this is a quirk of the parts website, but has anyone seen something like this before?

@utergeek! Thanks for the confirmation. Mine is at the dealer right now getting this replaced, so should have it back in a couple hours and will see how it goes. They are also replacing the CarNet module at the same time. Dropped it off at 7:30am and left both key fobs for the CarNet replacement, and should be picking it up ~ 2:30pm.
CarNet module took a little longer than they thought, so the car spent the night at the dealer. Got it back today and no noise from the front, and CarNet seems to function without a problem. All in all happy to have this behind me and going to 2021 without any issues! Happy New Year everyone!
