2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

This vehicle has excessive oil consumption. I purchased it certified pre-owned under the manufacturer warranty still in effect. It had 36,847 mikes in the odometer. Having an issue with a prior 2022 Tiquan I checked the oil at 39,000 mikes, it was 2 quarts low and I added 2 quarts, I checked it at 41,000 again it was low 2 quarts. I took it to the dealer with 41,132 miles and had the perform an oil change at Hoover Volkswagen. Then, I checked the oil at 43,000 it was 2 quarts low and added it , due to the bad customer satisfaction I had with my sale of this vehicle and trade I had I took the vehicle to Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw what said to do consumption test. I started the process with 45,111 miles on the odometer . The vehicle has an oil consumption issue.

I purchased this vehicle [XXX] and mileage was 78,921 at Hoover Volkswagen in Georgia. The carfax showed it had an oil change since the dealer had it in inventory. I drove the carfax showed about 2000 miles to 81,000 odometer miles and heard ticking noise so I checked the oil. It was 2 quarts low, I added 2 after calling the dealer and saying it’s my responsibility to top off the oil. I checked it again at appx 83,000 again it was 2 quarts low, I checked it at 85,000, 87,000, 89,000 and 90,000 each time it was 2 quarts low. I finally took it into the Hoover Volkswagen Dealership at appx 90,500 miles and traded it in for the oil consumption issue and lost $7000 because of tradein value of the oil consuming vehicle.

This vehicle has burned oil and needed regular additional oil fills between recommended oil change. We have taken the car to Volkswagen Northampton for regular oil changes who have never dealt with the oil leak or burning issue. As a result of this the car now at 64k miles needs a new engine. It has piston issues , timing belt issues, , communication modules between the eco and bmc issues, and cam shaft timing issues. Our mechanic is suggesting a new engine. VW of America will not assist us saying there is nothing they can do.

Vehicle began burning oil with no visible leaks, severe engine hesitation when accelerating from stop at 42k miles. VW dealer tested and advised oil consumption was below the 1.2 quarts every one thousand miles (6 quarts for each five thousand miles, I am at 3 quarts every five thousand miles). that VW allows for this particular issue (piston rings are know to have issues) but mine are not bad enough to be fixed under warranty. Replacement of the piston rings is a significant out of pocket expense when your is within the warranty period. I have since miled out of warranty. And they also declined to cover it under my extended warranty. The acceleration issue is dangerous as when commuting daily to work on a 3 lane highway, when the stop and go traffic goes, and i don't, this poses a hazard to myself and the other drivers. the hesitation can last 10-20 seconds and the the car jerks to speed. This must also be causing increased emissions.

At 49,000 miles, all four spark plugs and ignition coils failed and had to be replaced due to engine stuttering and hesitation during acceleration. The check engine light first appeared as I approached a red light to make a timed left turn at a high-traffic intersection during rush hour. The malfunction caused my vehicle to struggle accelerating through the intersection, putting myself and others at risk. A certified mechanic confirmed the error code indicating faulty spark plugs and coils and replaced all components under warranty. However, the check engine light continued to reappear intermittently—sometimes turning off for a week after restarting the engine, other times staying on for extended periods. Despite the initial replacement, the same code concern persisted, and the mechanic replaced the components again under the parts and labor warranty. When the issue continued, I took my vehicle to my regular trusted mechanic, who performed a more in-depth diagnostic. They discovered an excessive and unusual amount of carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, which was likely triggering the engine code and causing drivability issues. This diagnosis resulted in an additional repair expense of nearly $700. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, but the failed components are available for inspection upon request. These issues are unexpected given the vehicle's low mileage, age, and regular maintenance. Total repairs reached nearly $1,300. The hesitation posed a safety risk in traffic and suggests a possible premature system failure. My regular mechanic noted Volkswagen may claim this is “regular maintenance,” though this is not common in similar makes and models like the Tiguan.

My Volkswagen Tiguan suddenly and without warning blew a large amount of smoke out of the exhaust along with oil while driving at highway speeds - causing the cars behind me to lose visibility and possibly be covered with oil further reducing their visibility due to the VW manufacturers faulty crankcase breather/pcv valve. After this happened the car dash lit up with warnings and went into "limp mode" where I was not able to exceed 2500 rpm which is very dangerous when on the highway - luckily for my safety at this point I was on a side road. When I checked the engine I found no oil was left in it, it had been sprayed all underneath and up the back, which reduced visibility in the window. I was responsible for towing it to the dealer and was given no loaner despite being under warranty. Leaving myself and children without a vehicle. The dealer confirmed that my VW Tiguan had a faulty crankcase breather which caused over pressurization and pushed up the valve seals and cracked the oil pan. They only replaced those things and not the fouled spark plugs or oil filter from the crankcase breather failure which can cause more engine damage and dirty emissions.

Oil leak from PVC malfunction Causing stalling, over heating and a huge amount of oil consumption of vehicle. This poses a safety hazards for consumers who commute more than 25 miles to work , drs appts in rural areas etc. I have purchased well over $300USD in the last month on oil alone, taking away from house hold budgets and maintenance of said vehicle.

Excessive oil consumption. Noticed oil consuming at abnormal rate about 1 1/2 years ago. Took it to dealership for diagnosis in July 2024 and was told Cylinder Head needed to be replaced. In the meantime, I was told to frequently check and refill oil as needed. The part was backordered until February 2025 when I went in again for replacement where the dealership completed additional diagnosis. It was decided the cylinder head did not need to be replaced and only the valve seals. These were replaced in February 2025. My oil light came back on after about 2,000 miles on April 30th, 2025. The oil was about a quart low. I topped it off. 3 weeks later the oil light came on again. I checked the oil level on May 24th and only the very tip of the dipstick had oil on it. I filled it up by 2 quarts. I contacted VW May 26th to schedule maintenance appt. On June 6th, I checked oil level again before driving to drop off my vehicle and the vehicle was a quart low.

My vehicles started to consume large quantities of oil. Although VW allows for 1.2 quarts per 1000 miles, putting oil in every 1500-1800 miles is very costly and is probably damaging my engine and increasing emission. The Atlas has the same problem and was the subject of a recall. They did a consumption test for free but said i was at an acceptable level. Driving over 500 miles a week for work is becoming very costly and my warranty period is ending soon.

I am experiencing excessive oil consumption in my Volkswagen Tiguan. I took my vehicle to one authorized dealership which diagnosed the issue as "pushed up" valve seals and recommended replacement. Seeking a second opinion at another authorized dealership, they diagnosed the problem as requiring a full cylinder head replacement. This significant discrepancy in diagnosis is concerning. I also experienced a significant delay in receiving critical service invoices (dated March 28th and April 14th, received on April 28th), raising concerns about timely notification of potential safety issues. Furthermore, I am aware of a publicly known class action lawsuit regarding excessive oil consumption in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan, suggesting this may be a broader issue. My attempts to resolve this with Volkswagen of America have been unsuccessful, with representatives refusing to escalate my concerns and hanging up on me. The potential for misdiagnosis and inadequate repair of the excessive oil consumption issue could lead to severe engine damage, including stalling or seizure while driving, thus increasing the risk of an accident and jeopardizing the safety of myself and others. Furthermore, the significant delay in receiving important service invoices raises concerns that I may not be promptly informed of critical safety recalls or maintenance needs, further increasing the risk of operating an unsafe vehicle.
