The contact owns a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. The contact smelled fuel coming from the vehicle. While refueling the vehicle, the contact saw fuel leaking underneath from the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to village Volkswagen of chattanooga (6001 International dr, chattanooga, TN 37421, (423) 855-4981) and was informed that he caused the damage; therefore, the dealer refused to repair the vehicle. There was a valid warranty in effect since there was currently only 14,000 miles on the vehicle. In 2018, there was an unknown recall for the fuel tank leaking even though the contact's vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact spoke with the manufacturer and they agreed with the dealer. The failure mileage was 14,000.

Check engine light came on before 3,000 miles. Cylinder 2 misfire. Dealership fixed it on the 3rd try after getting vw involved. It was a faulty gas tank, leaking fuel into the lines. They replaced the tank and the charcoal canister. Lane assist feature severely malfunctions since day 1 of owning this car. Nearly every time I drive it, the vehicle steers itself into medians, into curves or intersections, into oncoming traffic, always while I'm actively driving straight. I contacted vw; they recommended having the system inspected. Dealership could find no problems with it, stating it was just a characteristic of the car. I will not just turn that feature off when I'm paying for it. I asked vw to buy the vehicle back, as it has increasingly become more dangerous for myself and my children. They denied my request. I have contacted the better business bureau in hopes of getting a more sensible outcome, but vw has only offered to settle my concerns for $2,500, which is not acceptable. This is an accident waiting to happen.
