VOLKSWAGEN/AUDI OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM



A class action has been filed Volkswagen Group of America, claiming 2008-2012 VW and Audi vehicles with 2.0-liter turbocharged engines had defective oil consumption systems.  Owners may be entitled to compensation for vehicle problems, repair costs, and/or diminished use.  (see below).   The complaint discussed consumer problems with oil consumption

NHTSA Complaint: PURCHASED 2008 AUDI A4 NEW FROM DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2007. TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE NOTICE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT 1QT EVERY 1,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS NOT. WITH THE HELP OF A PRO-BONO ATTORNEY CONTACTED AUDI AND DEMANDED REPAIR AT 12 000 MILES. AUDI REPLACED RINGS AND CAR WAS FINE FOR 24,000 MILES. AT 36000 MILES LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON -1 QT LOW AGAIN. HAD OIL CHANGED BY MY MECHANIC AND TWO DAYS LATER A NEW PROBLEM - LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR (NO CODES DRIVES FINE). I DEMAND THROUGH AUDI AN OIL PRESSURE TEST. TEST CAME BACK NORMAL. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON EVERY 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE CAR GOES BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN THIS WEEK. CAR IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE. *TR

• NHTSA Complaint: VW PASSAT 2008 LOW OIL LIGHT COME ON BEFORE SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE


FREQUENTLY. THE CAR BURNS OIL BECAUSE OF THE TURBO ENGINE. AND THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS A VALVE FAILURE TOO. *TR • NHTSA Complaint: MY '08 PASSAT WITH A 2.0 T ENGINE BURNS THROUGH A GREAT DEAL OF OIL. ABOUT ½ LITER PER 1,000 MILES. IT IS A NEW CAR (NOW 28000 MILES) AND SHOULD NOT BURN OIL! VW STATES THIS OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL BUT I DISAGREE. I LEASE THE CAR AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALER. I MUST FREQUENTLY ADD OIL TO THE ENGINE AND HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO BE SERVICED FOR THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES. FROM RESEARCH DONE ONLINE, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO ME. PLEASE HELP! *TR
