Evap leaks are difficult to diagnose sometimes. It's 100% the dealer service department's fault in this case, it should've been fixed the first time. However, if the only thing wrong with your car is an evap leak I'd say you got a pretty damn good car. Condemning an entire company because one car had an evap leak is insanity lol

    I have to vouch for VW, my wife also had a 2018 Atlas launch edition (purchased 2 days after it came out) and we had to take the car over 5 times to the VW dealership because it was leaking water inside by the drivers, side passenger and back seats, YES WATER! In a brand new car with less than 5k miles on it, which eventually grew mold! we were going to lemon law it but VW took care of us and bought it back and on top of that gave us an SEL in the color of our choice with NO extra money up front, my balance remained the same and so did my payments. The whole process took like 6 months from when we first took the car in but we could not be happier with our SEL Atlas, we’ve had it for a year now with 0 issues, this was our first VW and it sure won’t be our last, VW customer service is superb! We’re enjoying our Atlas for sure! 👍🏼

No hassle it was well handled.

    I work on vw‘s at my shop and I use Ross tech software to scan them. You can run the evap monitor in a few minutes to see if the evap is fixed you don’t even need to drive it to see if it’s fixed. Vw’s software makes it so easy to figure out if you fixed the problem.

    This same exact thing happened to my ex with his brand new (at the time) 2017 Jetta. He kept getting the small evap leak code and the dealership ended up replacing basically the whole fuel system if I remember correctly. This fixed the issue, but we were driving back and forth to the dealership as often as you guys were. At least 4 or 5 times within a couple weeks.

    Thank you for this video. We have a 2019 Altas bought in Feb. 2020 brand new. It's been in the shop 5 times (3,000 miles on it) for check engine and EPC lights. Every time they try something different and say it's fixed. At this point, I don't feel safe driving it, because a few times it has lost power when pulling out on the street....not cool, especially with kids in the car. So, unlike your mellow wife, I'm pretty irate, and no car, no matter how great looking it is, if not driving safely....NOT WORTH it! Such a bummer!

    I really do think this was a gas cap, as crazy as it sounds. I've had this same problem with numerous German cars, C300, C350, E350, Golf GTI, Golf R, Jetta GLI, Audi A5, and many more. They all proc'd codes too. A lot of times I also noticed white smoke and or condensation after starting during these periods (moisture more than likely). The fix? Simply doing nothing, closing the gas cap gingerly, and driving. One E350 took 1750 miles to have the code disappear and it never come back. I can't really explain it, however it could be somehow related to over tightening the gas cap. I myself have a tendency to rough neck things like gas caps. I want to makes sure it closes. After reading closely that you're really supposed to listen for one click on these cars and stop, I finally started doing so, and it seems to have helped. Is the Atlas for sale anywhere, I sort of want to buy it :-).

But what they didn't know was that I was still on the original tank of gas that they put in it when I bought it. So I asked to speak with my sales person they brought him over and I asked him if he knew how to put a gas cap on. So they took the truck back and fixed it. It's been pretty good to me ever since.

    The best way to pick a car is, look around on the road, and see what cars are more than 8-10 years old, and still out there in force... I ALWAYS see more 10 year old Honda Accords.. than anything else.. its says they are reliable, and cheap to keep. So Honda Pilot would be a good choice, if you don't like mini vans, Odyssey. Ive had an Odyssey, one GREAT feature is... with the seat folded down or removed, you can fit a FULL SHEET 4' x 8' sheet of plywood, or drywall in the back laying flat, with all doors closed. AMAZING ! I do all kinds of work around the house, and to have that utility, without needing to own a truck is great. Also, the Odyssey walk in design, it was pouring down rain one day, the wife and I just pushed all the kids in the side door, closed it up then she could walk around inside putting kids in car seats, and booster seats.. all from completely inside, then walk forward to her own seat up front, no need to stand outside in the rain, trying to buckle everyone in, while you're getting rained or snowed on.
    RARELY will you EVER see 4 year old German cars, Mercedes, BMW, VW Audi < hahahaha.. NEVER.. maybe a 2 year old Audi...

Pop mentioned a couple of models, and the loan officer replied that they had repo lots full of those because when the car stopped running, the buyer stopped paying for it. Pop asked what they didn't have on the repo lot, and the banker pointed at a Studebaker Lark. Pop's Lark ran for 28 years, nearly 250k miles with three clutch replacements as the only major repairs.

      Also here in Europe the number of old BMWs and Mercs running around is pretty damn high, obviously part of this is probably that they’re cheaper, support is better and we buy more of them.

After the buyback I plan to get a new atlas as well. Many VW’s I have owned with no issues but this one has been an issue since day one.

      @@darknitelmm6245 Not exactly. When the Insurance institute did their test of the small overlap test the explorer tested poor. A rating of Poor means you have a likely hood of serious injury or death in a collision. Now onto exhaust manifolds, that is an issue that is being investigated because there's an abnormal amount of drivers/passengers feeling ill from exhaust gasses entering the cabin. The culp has been the exhaust manifolds, but there's an investigation into how, why, and a possible solution. I believe Ford will supply you with a carbon monoxide detector if you request from the dealer/Corporate. As cool as they look, i cannot put my family in harms way.

    Went through the Lemon law process with a Dodge truck years back. The offers they made were ludicrous. Got a lawyer and it went to court. The Judge seemed pissed he had to hear the case and came down on Dodge hard. They ended up paying lawyer fees and about 3 grand more than their highest offer. I had planned on getting another Dodge but in the final offer before the hearing they gave me the opportunity to purchase a new truck at factory invoice. After getting spanked by the Judge they rescinded the offer even though I had a document saying it was a compensatory offer due to what I had to go through with the Lemon Law process ? Nothing to do with the Lemon Law action.

Since it was the 2nd year they had production line in America and still new to making vw In here. I don’t want to be a test driver. So I bought a year old lease return car with 5k less than new car price from dealer plus somebody has been basically test it for a year. By that time, if the car is good, it is safer to buy. I got it, it runs great no problems and I pretty much have a new car with less money. Still have bumper to bumper warranty from vw, free oil change stuff, Very happy. V5 engine very powerful with 25 mpg. Love it!!! I strongly recommend everyone use this strategy on cars. Never spend money on new cars just pick lease return one. So it’s been tested and you spend less money. Always a good deal

    This little light of mine 🎶 I'm gonna let it shine🎶 I chased P0456, P0440, and other evap codes on a much older, simpler car out of warranty. It was a real pain. Also, gas caps rarely cause small leak codes. Gas caps usually cause a gross or large leak code. P0456 is almost always a split hose or loose hose connection, or a leaky or inconsistent purge or vent solenoid buried up in the chassis or engine bay somewhere. The OBDII system is almost never wrong. If it says there's a leak, there's most likely a leak.
