The vehicle has excessive oil consumption and an oil leak. The authorized dealer diagnosed the problem as requiring full cylinder head replacement. This is a major engine repair at low mileage. I previously told the dealer the vehicle needed oil added between changes. The issue has worsened and now requires a cylinder head. I escalated with dealership management and Volkswagen Customer Care. Volkswagen refuses full coverage and offers only partial goodwill, leaving me to pay a large portion out of pocket despite the low mileage. This issue is widespread on 2022–2023 Tiguan models with the 2.0 TSI EA888 engine. Multiple owners report the same oil consumption and cylinder head replacement. Consumer Reports has documented cylinder head and oil consumption complaints on the 2022 Tiguan. Class action lawsuits allege a defect causing excessive oil consumption. The Canadian Automobile Protection Association has also reported premature valve guide wear leading to cylinder head replacement on 2018–2024 Tiguans. Excessive oil consumption creates a safety risk. Low oil can cause engine damage, stalling, or complete engine failure while driving. A vehicle needing frequent oil top-offs and a major internal repair under 40,000 miles indicates a possible manufacturing defect that Volkswagen has not addressed with a recall. I have also experienced issues with the forward collision warning system, the PCV valve, the infotainment system, and brake vibration when braking. These secondary problems further show reliability concerns, but the cylinder head failure is the most serious and safety-related issue. I request that NHTSA review this complaint with other similar reports and investigate whether a safety-related defect exists in the 2022–2023 Volkswagen Tiguan that requires further action or a recall.
