Got exactly the same story with Skoda. Highlights were "Speed display crapping out mid journey - through Switzerland" or "Steering wheel getting loose". Funnily enough the part that always worked without any issue was the EV part of the PHEV.

Unofficially our (very good) local dealer told us that VW did reduce QA, especially chip wise.

In the end we sued them, they tried to bully us and then they gave in two days before the trial date - we could return the car. Now we drive Hyundai and Volvos exclusively.
