Volkswagen vehicles displaying auto start-stop malfunctions are generally due to insufficient battery charge, as auto start-stop vehicles have higher battery requirements, throttle valve faults, etc. Below is an introduction to Volkswagen: 1. Overview: Volkswagen AG is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche on March 28, 1937. 2. Brands: The company owns brands such as Audi and Volkswagen. In May 2021, the '2021 Forbes Global 2000' was released, with the Volkswagen Group ranking 17th. 3.

I've been working in car repairs for a long time and have seen many cases of Volkswagen's automatic start-stop system failing. There are actually quite a few main reasons for this. The most common one is low battery voltage, because the start-stop system needs sufficient power to restart the engine. If the battery is aging or not charging properly, the system simply won't work. Temperature changes also have a big impact - when it's too cold in winter or too hot in summer, the engine or sensors may automatically disable it to protect the engine. Having the air conditioning on can also trigger a failure, especially when you set it to low temperatures or high fan speeds, as the system prioritizes comfort over stopping the engine. Additionally, sensor issues like doors not being properly closed or seatbelts not fastened can cause the system to misjudge the situation and stop working. Software glitches, though rare, do exist - for example, bugs may appear if system updates aren't processed promptly. I recommend regularly checking your battery's condition and not waiting until it's completely drained to fix it. If the system suddenly fails while driving, don't panic - just take it to an authorized service center for inspection, but avoid tampering with the wiring yourself.
