Purchased my car in may of 2019 in Jan/Feb while driving coolant light came on � verified coolant was low once vehicle was able to cool down took it to the dealer they said it evaporated and there is nothing wrong fast forward to April of 2021 coolant light came on again while driving, vehicle had roughly 11,500 miles. Coolant was again low but the light came off by itself. Took it one dealer said it probably evaporated and they refilled it, taking it to another but they already indicated it is probably just evaporating. It is a closed system it is evaporating but where . . . Tried to explain this to them they told me not to believe many other online forums and that my car is probably fine. Except it is not fine it is brand new car leaking coolant . . . .
Coolant level is low. They said is a leak on it which is going inside the engine. This a major major issue for this brand and expensive car. My car had only 8400 miles on it. One year old. This is on unacceptable, for so much money I payed. And so much for �german engineering� please investigate this not the first vehicle complaing look at the fb page vw Atlas complains.
Bought my Atlas on 3/24/19, a few days after I got the low coolant warning light while driving. Took it in to the dealer and they topped it off and said, "OH they come to the dealer sometimes a little low. " not sure why they don't check when prepping the car for delivery. On 4/3, light came on again while driving. Took it back to the dealer 4/4, no visible leak underneath or by the tank. A possible leak was found behind the engine near the firewall, I can see some pink pooling on something silver (engine or trans whatever it is). They determined that the coolant hose has failed and claim to have never seen that issue before. They ordered the wrong parts and couldn't fit. They are ordering more parts and it could be a few weeks before I get it back. I have also engaged vw of America. This should not happen on a new car yet alone the dealer take so long to fix it. The car has only 400 miles on it. Please investigate. Thanks.
