NHTSA Complaint #11615140 — 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS

I discovered my car was leaking a small amount of oil on 08/26/2024. I made a service appointment to get it looked at and found out that the crank case oil separator and the upper timing case were both leaking. These were both found at my local Volkswagen Dealership. I was told to continue driving it but to check my oil levels weekly. On 09/14/2024, I put oil in my car that morning and at 4:30pm my car was smoking, and my oil cap had exploded off from pressure. This caused my car to no longer be safe to drive. No warning lights came on until after the leaks were found then it caused an error with my start-stop which when brought in to be inspected was told this is all related to the issue with the oil leaks.
