Consumer Description

Vehicle started smoking last September/October (2025) after catching several examples of it on camera, VW says it needs new heads. I’ve been on a “waiting list” ever since. The vehicle continues to get worse, recently the low oil light came on as it burns oil excessively . I’ve called VW and they’ve documented it. I’m concerned because I work out of town - My wife drives this car with our 2 1/2 year old and 5 month old.
