Hi everyone, I have a 2023 VW Taos SE FWD that I’ve been driving for almost 2 years. It currently has almost 40,000 miles on it.

Recently, I’ve noticed that the car doesn’t feel as responsive as it used to. It still drives normally and there are no obvious issues while cruising, but when I press the gas, especially when trying to accelerate quickly, it feels slower and less powerful than before.

There is no Check Engine light or other warning light on the dashboard. The car starts and idles normally, and I’m not noticing any unusual noises.
Has anyone else experienced something similar with a Taos around this mileage? Could this be related to the turbo/boost, fuel system, spark plugs, transmission, or something else?

I’m planning to have it scanned for codes, but I wanted to hear from other Taos owners first. Any ideas or similar experiences?

I’ve noticed that many pending I-485 applicants with PDs from 2022–2023 received RFEs around February 2026, due to expired I-693 medicals.

If you were one of them, have you received any update on your case after submitting the RFE response?

In my case, USCIS hasn’t even updated the status to “Response to RFE Received.” After mailing the response, there has been no update at all.

I’ve also submitted multiple service requests but still haven’t received any response.

Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing, and whether it’s normal for the status not to update after the RFE response is delivered.
