Coolant Leaking Problems of Volkswagen Atlas

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 . . . .

Unexplainable loss of coolant. My car was 4 times at dealership and they never find any leaks but I'm loosing coolant and sometimes it can smell it evaporate when I park my car.

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.

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.

The coolant warning light went on 3 days ago. When I first start the engine in the morning or after hours of parking, the coolant warning light went on. After the engine temperature goes up, I have to turn the engine off and on again to have the coolant warning light disappeared. This is an one year old vehicle which has 10500 miles. I have driven 6 brands of vehicles in my life but this is the very first time to have a coolant problem. I checked that no coolant leaking and shortages.

Excessive oil consumption. Used 1and 1/2 quarts of oil at 3250 miles(which was added by the dealer service dept. Today 1/2/18) was bought as a new vehicle 9/17 with only 12 miles on odometer. (12/25/17) first the check engine light lit, they said it was the gas cap. One week later the check oil level alarm lit . They checked it said no external leaks, they added the 1 1/2 quart oil , said to keep an eye on the level. I am scared to take this car on any trips with this car. Also the coolant level was at the minimum level, the service open the cap and the level did rise, but why is that?.
