EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION & POOR SERVICE - won’t repair under warranty! Have referred to ACC Volkswagen why has my 2022 Tiguan Allspace been burning so much oil that I have to top it up min 1L per MONTH since purchasing it new? Even within 3 weeks of a full service it’s fault light has come on.Its consistently high oil consumption is excessive! It is now even blowing smoke intermittently. The service centre FINALLY made warranty repairs after nearly 3 years of me raising the issue and being brushed off and told it’s normal for these cars. The problem was not resolved and they want to charge me $230 to even look at the car to reassess why their repairs didn’t work.VW Australia customer support was rude and unhelpful and offered no solution to this issue. [Name Removed] offered to make a repair appointment and then failed to stating that I needed to do it myself, and pay for the warranty fix again.Why is the onus being placed on customers of a new car to have a manufacturing fault fixed instead of being handled through warranty? (This same issue is well known in the same model sold overseas with a class action underway…yet no reasonable response from VW.)This VW Tiguan Allspace has been unreliable and a complete disappointment as a family car used for daily school drop offs. Our family has had Volkswages since the ‘60’s but now I’ve lost faith in the brand - not worth the hassle, even new!Purchased in June 2022 at Volkswagen Dealers for $63,297.Transmission: AutomaticBought: NewYear: 2022
