2016 V6 exec. 115,000 miles. Milage typically averages around 20 mpg. But have had many issues since turned 100K miles (and my extended warranty ran out!). Dealer replaced Front right wheel bearing (turned out to not be the problem), then front differential replacement (was the problem), engine mounts, leaking valve covers, leaking rear seal on transmission (not fixed as yet). My repairs over $5,000. I am reluctant to repair anything that does not affect performance or safety. I plan on keeping my Treg until it is well past 200K miles, but also do not want to continually repair.

ACC Not Available message. Had reset by mechanic, and it worked, Then after a few miles, it stopped and warning came on. Had everything cleaned and reset again, worked for a few miles and then off. Mechanic recommended I take to a VW dealer since they have better diagnostic tools.

I have no understanding of what a fix would be. I do love the vehicle. Any thoughts on what the cost might be to fix the ACC and front radar?

AND forgot to mention, I had the transmission serviced. I told the mechanic that the Transmission has permanent fluid and does not need to be replaced. His response, "no such thing." Recommended changing the fluid, which I did, and it was not that expensive. Actually seemed to run smoother, but that may just be in my head.
 
ACC failures (typically video cable and\or camera) are very common. Use the search function and you'll see lots of complaints and posts about struggles. Repairs are not cheap, and components are very expensive and impossible to find. The first thing you need is a proper VCDS scan to know more about what you're potentially up against.
