My 2022 Tiguan has been more frequently showing the low oil light, and the inspection note even though I recently had it at the dealer for maintenance (oil change and filter, cabin filter, transmission oil change). Last week, the low oil light came on and then flashed the light that it would not go over 3,000 RPMs followed by the EPC light with the car then going into limp mode. This sporadically happened on the highway. I made my way to a gas station and put in one quart of oil. When I started the car back up, it was fine. This continued sporadically for the next few days. I drive mostly on highways which was extremely dangerous. I notified the dealer and barely made it there to drop it off for a diagnostic. I was told that the oil pan is cracked and needs gaskets, that the PCV breather, pressure sensor, and upper cover gaskets need to be replaced, and that the cylinder head and all required components and hardware need to be replaced all for a total of $7,547.36 without tax. I have been a loyal customer to this dealership, and they never checked for this issue nor provided preventative maintenance for this known issue, especially knowing the distances I drive. I bought this car in 2024 with approximately 20,000 miles and it is now at approx. 99,000 miles. This is out of warranty, and they have offered no goodwill assistance. Is there any known recourse available?

I was told by the service Advisor at Flow Volkswagen in Durham NC. On August 22 2024 that my 2022 VW Tiguan was normal to burn oil. I have continued to have my oil changed per recommended service. I have to carry a QT of motor oil in my vehicle because the low oil indicator comes on approximately every 1500 miles. My Manufacture warranty has since expired, I did purchase an extended warranty when we purchased the VW In 2022. I'm planning to bring it in to my local VW Dealer to see what can be done to resolve this issue. I'm not to hopeful!

Bought my 2022 VW Tiguan at the end of Jan 2024, from Sutliff VW in Harrisburg. PA. They kept it for 10 days, the day I bought it. They never put on the new inspection sticker, then proceeded to tell me that it needed work to pass. They were "waiting for parts". It took almost a week to get parts, they said "Blame it on VW, they are slow to ship". When I picked it up, they said they also cleaned the cylinder heads and rings, from carbon deposits. Said it was due to "bad gas". Told me to make sure I was getting my gas at pumps labeled "clean gas". (what a buncha crap).

About 2 months ago, I notice that it's starting to use oil, more than I think it should. Called Sutliff, they said that's normal for European cars. (really, I had Porsches, they didn't do this). They said to just keep adding oil, no more than a half a quart at a time. That it's common to use 1qt every 1000 miles.

It's now September, and it has started to blow blue smoke, every other time when I start it. Took it to Faulkner VW, they are preforming the Oil Consumption Test. They changed the oil and new filter, no charge. Said it was covered under the warranty. (oil change? covered under warranty? something sounds fishy here).

I will update this in 1000 miles. I believe that Audi has recalls on their vehicles for the same thing. Apparently, if you pay more for the vehicle, you get 1st fixes. (Audi Q5, is that same vehicle as the Tiguan).

We are having excessive oil consumption being 1 quart every 2 thousand miles and the warranty just says that it's normal. They performed a test that was totally inaccurate, after the test again we had to add another quart and it just kept going. They just say that consuming a quart every 1200 miles can be normal. So I have to keep a big oil bottle in the trunk as part of this normal thing. It's shameful that after going many times to the dealer and having the extended warranty, the issue is considered just "normal" and we should be okay with it. Buying a brand new car, and every possible warranty to end up with an oil bottle in the trunk as if I bought a car from 1980. Thanks VW for such a good quality product!!!!
