 We got our Atlas SE in June, and we’re happy weather in the beginning. Then noticed issues with assembly fuel mileage and engine noises. VW claims the atlas it’s 18/25 Mpg. We have yet to get more than 11 MPG. I have taken it on short trips on the freeway and have not gotten better than 18 mpg. Dealer claims that it’s normal because I only drive on the city streets. That doesn’t make sense. Tell lights aren’t lined up, one headlight is off line, or die lined up, liftgate is not in line, hood is not in line, and we had a door panel  armrest that had to be replaced because it came undone. On acceleration we getting noise that sounds like sucking air, dealership says all the vehicles do that. When we turn off the motor it sounds like a fan hitting a metal shroud, dealer again says that’s normal  and all the vehicles  are the same. We are paying a lot of money for this vehicle and we expected to be assembled properly. Manufacturer has been involved and has no solution to fix things they replace the taillight but it’s in the same spot one taillight has a spacer and is up the other taillight doesn’t and is flush.  I pointed out this fact and suggested that they left gate was not installed correctly. The body lines don’t lineup and there is a large space between the bumper guard in the liftgate. Nothing was done. First time took it for these issues they put us in a Jetta And how do our Atlas for one week. They had to order tail light and door panel. When they came in they put us in another Jetta for two days. The tail light still is not correct. Call the dealership and manufacture again regarding these issues, and was told to set an appointment at the dealer and they would bring in the technician again. I told them to make the appointment and I would be there to meet with the technician this time. Have not heard back yet.Update:Contacted Volkswagen corporate, addressed issues regarding flaws and bad craftsmanship of the atlas. Was told that the issues I am having are within normal levels and they do not plan to do anything about it. I requested a change of vehicles because I noticed that the ones that are coming out now are near Flawless and craftsmanship. Bodylines lineup, lights are straight and lineup, but they say that because the flaws on my particular vehicle are at an acceptable level they will not exchange vehicles. They are blaming the fuel mileage problem on me saying it's my driving habits. But I have a dash cam installed now that is recording every time I start the vehicle and it shows proof that it's not my driving habits. I'm not hard on the accelerator I'm not hard on the stops, but I am still only getting 13 miles to the gallon, and that is mixing between freeway and streets. So due to this I will not be returning for another Volkswagen. I will finish out the term of my lease and give this back to them. Still a very unhappy customer, even though this is my 4th Volkswagen since 2013. They won't stand behind their work so I won't give them any more of my money.
