Consumer Description
absurd oil consumption. I have never experienced a vehicle burning oil like VW golf. The vehicle manual states to check the oil every time filling the gas and it is normal for VW golf to burn oil. That said, I have owned more than ten cars in my lifetime, and I have never experienced an engine burning more than a quart every 700 to 1000 miles. I did not have any issues until ~35K miles. After hitting ~35K, I started experiencing the problem. VW service states to do the oil change every 10K, which if I wait, the engine will be toast. I have topped off at almost 10 to 13 quarts of additional between the oil change, i.e., between 10K change I am not sure what kind of complaints NHTSA has received, but I find many owners having similar issues doing google search. It seems VW is getting away with significant flaws with their engine burdening VW owners with the cost of additional oil and flawed design engine minimal lifetime. I will appreciate it if your organization looks into this issue and has VW take responsibility.
