My 2022 Tiguan burns excessive oil between oil changes and the check oil light comes on. I have to top it off between oil changes. I purchased in Nov 2023 and the light came on in less than 6 months. It has been brought to dealerships attention on mulitple ocassions however they are unable to find a problem or a solution. They have replaced my leak detection pump and a cover without results. I have also had on going issues with the travel assist light coming on almost daily. They replaced my steering wheel already without resolution as well. Currently there is a class action lawsuit for 2022 Tiguans for the excessive oil consumption issue so hopefully they will fnd a resolution soon. Here are some notes of dates of occurances 11/2023 Purchased 5/15/24 oil light on 9/6/24 oil light on 10/31/25 oil change, steering wheel replaced 4/1/25 oil light on 6/16/25 Oil changed 6/27/25 Leak Detection Pump replaced 6/23/25 oil light on 1/13/26 oil change and oil leak from upper timing cover 3/18/26 oil light

My overhead console has come lose. VW will not fix under extended warranty. It is a known issue and letters weren-??t sent out about a fix for my year model but I did not get one.

The car will randomly jump, buck, engine accelerate. Even if I brake or put in park when engine on, it still bucks and feels like it wants to accelerate. Also when I want to accelerate and push on gas(like when I stop at stop sign and it-??s my turn to go) it will randomly just buck and feels like it wants to stall, in middle of me trying to go into traffic. I-??m afraid that if a person walks in front of my car( for example at a light or when I am waiting to turn, breaking, for someone crossing the street in front of my car) the car could bounce jump and hit them even when I break as I said, it jumps even while I break. I also am afraid because when I accelerate into traffic it also sometimes doesn-??t accelerate and will pause and bounce-??.car easily could hit me!! I brought it to vw and they tried to tell me the repair would cost over $3000 I then brought it to another reputable repair shop and they thought it wasn-??t related to what vw claimed they would fix. The other repair shop stated it to be computer/electrical issues which causes everything else to malfunction down the line and that they see this in many vw because of the heat here where we live (because vw did not reset computer system before checking electrical code again reason/malfunction. Vw only just went with whatever the computer system said without resetting it. Any ways guess I should also tell you when this happens an exclamation point comes up on dash board with some other initials, which I will send photo of. Iam afraid to drive it is in safe. And sometimes if I turn the car off and back on it-??s like nothing is wrong with it!!! And it may not happen again for days !! But always happens eventually. This has been going on for on for about 6 months to 1 yr. Vw always blew me off until my warranty was up and now suddenly it-??s an over $3000 issue, suddenly know what the problem is now! My 2nd opinion disagrees with them and told me to bring it to him when it happens but is closed each time it happens?

My vehicle has relatively low miles on it, it does not get driven very often. Once I had done the first oil change I had to pay for after the dealer covered maintenance warranty was over for the oil changes was when I started having the problems. Three separate times the low oil light came on the dash and I had to add oil to my engine, about a total of 3 quartz. I told the first dealer that I was having this issue and they didn-??t believe what I was saying and didn-??t want to check anything. I told them to do an oil consumption test but because I had having such a hard time with them I went to a different dealer to get it look at. Under dealer warranty, they conducted the oil consumption test and after 600 miles I was to bring it back. When they did a volume displacement test, they said there was metal shaving in my oil when they went to drain the oil and they had to change the engine and turbo. My car was around 45,200 miles when it was said to be replaced. Ever since they said they replaced it the engine is very noisy, they didn-??t put enough oil in the engine and it doesn-??t even look like they replaced the engine at all. None of the hoses has signs that they were removed or replaced, bolts and nuts not removed and the transmission bolts don-??t look they have been removed from the engine or got a new seal. This engine is not reliable at all. Also the vehicle certification label that should be in my wheel well and in my owners manual is not there. I can not find it anywhere.

- The sunroof control panel has gradually peeled away from the foam on the roof of the car and is now dangling. It-??s distracting and unsafe while driving. This is clearly a defect and safety hazard as it-??s fallen while I-??m driving and hit me in the head. It-??s blocking the rear view mirror from full visibility. - Aside from it hitting me in the head as it-??s fallen from the roof, it-??s blocking by the rear view mirror entirely and blocking partial view out the windshield. I have had to use one hand to hold it up in place while driving. Multiple different kinds of tape have failed to hold it up and it continues to fall. - There are multiple posts and discussions in the Tiguan owner community that this is a known issue and has happened to many Tiguans. - It was briefly observed by a dealership but I was there for a much larger issue and they said they-??d have to replace the entire panel. We did not do a full inspection or price quote at that time. I did reach out to VW corporate with photos and a description of the issue and they refused to help. - There were no warnings as this was not electrical or mechanical. The panel just peeled away from the ceiling and came apart at the seams. According to some research, perhaps heat can cause this defect to happen.

Excessive Oil Consumption: I purchased this Tiguan 2022 back on [XXX] in Florida and since I purchased it I have issues with this matter. I have reported my Tiguans consuming oil at a rate significantly higher than what's expected between oil changes and I was informed that is normal, yet I still did not get any resolution on this matter.

My VW is leaking so much oil. I have been reading SO much about VW and lots of unhappy people in regards to the bills they have to pay to fix oil leaks, pct valves, upper and lower oil pans. One mechanic told me he'd never own a VW because of this leaking oil issue. Due to the extent of people affected, I was hoping there would be an extended warranty issued for people owning faulty 2018 - 2023 VW's. I was told this would be the next place to make a complaint. My car is only 3 years old! Of course I'm at 65k, just over the 50K warranty. Please consider urging VW to cover the costs associated with a well-known oil leak problem, PLEASE!

Travel assist not available warning is showing multiple times when driving. I start the car, start driving and no issues. Then randomly the warning issues shows up along with an audible alert. It appears to be an issue with the steering wheel as several online posts indicate VW replaced the steering wheel to resolve the issue, only to have it show up again, several months later.

The car vibrates excessively when in drive or reverse and the brake is being held. Vibrations stop if car is put in neutral. Car also hesitates when driving. And is a major safety issue when driving. The vibration is also in my opinion a safety concern because it-??s causing excessive wear and tear on other parts of the car. The dealership acknowledged that there-??s excessive play or wear in the dogbone mount but refused to replace it because I was told that part should be bad because there-??s less then 30k miles in the car. But I am still having the same problem with the vehicle and have had it in the dealership service department where they will keep the vehicle for a few days and then tell me they can-??t find anything. The most recent visit to the dealership they never even test drove the vehicle and I even had the service rep Sit in the loaner and then sit in my vehicle to feel the difference between the two which is extremely obvious and he refuses to acknowledge it.

ever since purchasing the car in 2021 I noticed it burns oil very quickly. Every time i would bring my car to my local body show before an oil change was do there was always no oil left. I finally brought the car back to VW and they told me it could be the shop was not using the right stuff which i knew was not true and they charged me for oil change and told me to come back if the problem continued. Sure enough 6 weeks later the oil light came on. I brought it back to VW and they told me the car has an engine oil consumption issue and they could keep the car from a week to 6 months

My car uses more oil then it should and VW won-??t fix it. Lawyer told me to fill out this form

This incident occurred [XXX] at about [XXX]. My family and I were returning to Utah from an Arizona vacation. We were heading north on [XXX], in between Payson and Benjamin when the sunroof shattered. The sunroof was not open nor had it been open during the entirety of the vacation. My fiancé and I were both watching the road and did not see any debris nor rocks fly up and hit the sunroof. Our only explanation is that it exploded. The vehicle is available for inspection on request. I am thankful that no one was hurt inside the vehicle, but this could have potentially hurt my child who was in the backseat during this. If the fabric that blocks the sunroof had been pulled back, I am 100% positive that all passengers in the car would have been injured by the glass shards. I am going to call the dealership tomorrow when they are open and plan to call the non emergency phone number for the police to file an incident report, if they allow it.

SOS or emergency call feature malfunctioning. Requires deleting car from garage in VW connect app and reconnecting it. Functions well for a few weeks and goes out again. Dealership has been asking customers to replace an OEM part. Customers need to pay for this out of pocket. Multiple cars have this issue.

Crack spontaneously appeared near VW logo on steering wheel. The crack is growing. Volkswagen dealership said the airbag and steering wheel plate cover need to be replaced but unwilling to cover under warranty. Steering wheel plate cover looks to be swollen and other visible areas show stress marks. Dealership is ordering replacement part to replace next week. Dealership did not say this is a safety concern, but I feel it is needs to be reported to the correct persons. No warning lights have occurred.

This random, but highly dangerous issue has never been able to be replicated by dealers or myself, but it-??s extremely dangerous when it occurs. Occasionally, the car-??s speakers will emit a max voltage popping sound that repeats like the sound of a helicopter-??s rotors. This sound occurs seemingly at random, and it can happen while the car is moving or not. It-??s occurred 6 times since I purchased the car in December 2022. The debilitating sound only stops once the car has been off and all of its systems powered down for about 5 minutes, making it impossible to operate. After some review of forums about this make and model, this is seemingly something that has been reported and never addressed in a recall or anything. Without being able to replicate it, it-??s seemingly unable to be addressed by dealers, and I don-??t think their knowledge of the car-??s audio electronics preclude any sort of troubleshooting. It seems to occur when CarPlay is connected, but it-??s created one of the scariest driving experiences and gives me constant fear that it will happen at random and with my young child in the car (which it has before). This needs to be investigated. I have video of three different instances, but the upload feature will not allow for those file types. Would like to follow up, if possible. Thank you.

The navigation system places my car blocks and miles away from the actual location while driving it. This has caused the navigation to direct me in random directions, which is very dangerous and distracting, especially on the highway. It-??s also an issue in relation to the emergency response system, since it places me in inaccurate locations in the event of an accident. I contacted the dealership about it last year and took my car in twice between October and November then three more times in January and February. They replaced the infotainment system, several modules, and the antenna without success. VW corporate and one of their case manager was involved starting in January. I received a call from that case manager last week, and he said after all of the troubleshooting they can not repair the navigation issue. He said their technician estimated a repair might be available in 9-12 months. The case manager told me to call the dealership periodically to see if they have an update, and that I would not be contacted directly. My warranty expires in less than 12 months so I worry this issue will not get repaired in time. I-??m also concerned about my safety if I-??m in an accident since the GPS would place me in a much different location. I-??ve attached a couple of photos but also have videos of the issue that I can share.

Almost every day since we bought this brand new vehicle we have experienced a significant problem operating the vehicle. I-??ll back out of my driveway and then once in the direction to move forward I push on the gas and the car won-??t move. It basically jerks you forward a few times. Then maybe. Is fine sometimes it does this repeatedly. No warning lights or anything indicating their is a problem or what caused it. This is a very concerning problem. If I am pulling out to merge on to the Interstate and this happens I-??ll most definitely end up with a collision. Took it to the dealership and they can-??t recreate the issue so they report no problem with the Tiguan. Oddly if you simply Google this issue you-??ll find many other Tiguan owners with the same problem!
