| Description of the problem | The gas consumption is below what volkswagen claims and advertises. Our car averages 14 mpg instead of 19 mpg. On user forums, other atlas owners have complained about averaging 14 mpg. When we put the car in reverse, it starts to roll forward. The transmission jolts while driving. Since we got the car, the check engine light has been on for an evap leak. The dealership "fixed" it. However, several hours later, the check engine light came back on. |
