2018 Volkswagen Atlas Engine Problems

“Needs new catalytic converter. Needs excessive gas. Told to just keep driving until back ordered catalytic converter comes in. I don't feel like it's safe to drive especially with my children. Check engine light came on. Researching the problem and vw definitely has a problem and has not voluntarily recalled the vehicle.”

“I have taken my 18 Atlas sel premium in at least 4 times to have the coolant checki have had the low coolant warning come on 3 times stating there is low coolant. There is a strong burning coolant smell radiating from my vehicle on many occasions. When taken to the dealer they have done overnight pressure tests and cannot find the leak. My car is now out of warranty and I fear now they will find the issue and make me responsible.”

“Battery dies with short idle. Waited less than 10 minutes for my husband and warning came on to drive the car to charge the battery. I was in a parking lot with air conditioning on. Engine had manually shut off so I went to restart and battery would not turn on. This has happened before.”

“Sitting at a red light and when it turned green, my start/stop function would not turn my car back on. The dash had all sorts of lights flashing and my car would not start. Said the 12v battery was drained. Had to push my car out of the way and get someone to jump my car.”

“The battery died in the intersection suddenly while I was dring waiting for a traffic light. It made me in danger. This is a one year old vehicle. I have driven 6 brand vehicles so far in my life, this is the first time the battery died. I think Volkswagen should recall for this problem.”
