The turbo blew causing the car to stop in the middle of traffic. the blown turbo caused metal to go into my fuel system and oil. the air bag sensors are faulty. they cannot sense someone in the seats. the car had to be towed to a auto shop. due to the blown turbo, it will cost $5,500 to fix.
Timing chain failed which caused car to die and damaged engine. vehicle was in motion when this happened. traffic was not heavy and vehicle was on city street so was able to stop and pull over.
I bought a car from vw south orlando 7 month ago and since than i had a lot of issue with the car engine light was going on and off i been their like 5 times now and just pissing me off i want a replacement car
Under the hood fire protection materials coming off will not stay in place. notify port charlotte volkswagon for them to directly see. and they had to replace the ignition switch had gone bad . ask why was there not a way to crank the car with a key if the keyless button goes out. they said call a tow truck. i said what if a women and children where in danger and can not get a hold of a tow truck. answers we can do nothing about that. now that is schooling.
After fueling up at a gas station the 2018 tiguan would not start. it was dead. stationary at the fuel pump. warning lights came on the dash to indicate steering column failure. no symptoms, the car would not try to start or begin to start. just errors on dash. car is only 1 year old with less than 10k miles on it. dealer asked technician to jump car. no change. car had to be towed to dealer. dealer indicated a new steering column needed to be ordered and installed and that it was very odd to have failed. quick research shows this happens all the time on vws. how can a part like this fail in less than 10k miles?
I have been having serious stalling issues with this car...since the 1st day i received it. when i am driving the car would refuse to accelerate like getting on and off exits on expressway...changing lanes etc...it also stalls and the engine stops while driving..the car has a lane departure assist which pulls the car from 1 lane into the other violently...i am hoping to get this car replaced with another line from vw only because my lease is 5 mnths old...they are refusing to help me because there is no recall, maybe if someone dies they will give a rat's [xxx] about this issue...an issue they had i. 2014....ease look into this..families can die from this problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I purchased the car brand new iat the end of 2018. at the end of 2019 the car now needs new brakes and has less than 19,000 miles. the car shakes when you break. the dealership stated usually brakes and rotors last 30,000 and cited "common causes" for needing new breaks. the dealership stated they would cover labor at good will to replace brakes and rotors and then came back that would cover 60% and provided me 3 different amounts for a total. additionally, in december 2019, the check engine light came on after driving through a dangerous intersection turning left the car started to stutter and was shaking, after they reviewed it, they stated that the car had "misfired" and not all 4 engines started at the same time, only 3 of the engines did. i am requesting that the car be reviewed for compliance and safety regarding the brakes and engine. additionally, i am requesting that volkswagen cover the cost and labor of replacing brakes and rotors.
The car hesitates one to two seconds from a stop when the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly halfway or more as you would do to merge quickly into fast moving traffic. the problem can also be duplicated when moving slowly around 5 mph. this problem has existed since the beginning but now seems to be getting worse. i consider this a safety issue since the car does not respond as expected/required under all conditions.
Vw tiguan 09 purchased as new. only 50k miles on it when check engine light was encountered. soon after (last week, nov 25 2019), engine stalled while accelerating out of second gear and was seized. independent mechanic said it would cost 5,800 to rebuild engine. while doing my own independent research, discovered the complaints here detailing precisely the same issue (timing chain tensioner failure) that was described to me by my mechanic. then discovered that there is a class action settlement reimbursement (https://timingchainlitigation.com/) for this issue that i am no longer eligible for because jan 25 2019 filing deadline was not met - keep in mind that my engine failed one week ago (11/25/2019) with only 50k miles on it. i too, never received a class action notice in the mail. after calling the class action hotline, i was told to send an email to the lawsuit settlement administrator requesting a filing deadline exception. unlikely that any of this will work in my favor. but i too, like many others have been unnecessarily burdened by volkswagen's negligent handling of this major defect. it's unfortunate that customers like myself are now saddled ...
