Tiguan ES 2.0L Tsi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,227 miles

I first bought this 2011 Tiguan from VW dealer in 2011. It was maintained yearly and used as a family car. Mileage is 49, 227 now but started to leak oil from its 2.0 TSI engine. The VW dealer told me the repair cost is $1,730.61 on me. In my humble opinion, this is VW engine design defect. Should VW cover that cost? How come a engine starts to leak oil at such a low mileage? By Googling, it seems to be common issue to VW TSI engine. Should VW recall that car? Thank you!
