| 2009 | PARKING BRAKE | BOUGHT NEW 2009 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2009 IN JUNE. FIRST 4 WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE HEARD FAINT NOISES FROM BRAKES. WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ABS SYSTEM CAME ON AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AND LOCKED UP TOTALLY. CAR WAS DRAGGED ONTO A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO BE SOAPED OFF THE TOW TRUCK. VOLKSWAGEN IS STILL TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR TO UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE. *TR |
| 2012 | ENGINE | I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF ALMOST MID TURN, FORCING AN INCOMING CAR TO SWERVE QUICKLY TO THE NEXT LANE. THIS STALLING HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4-5 TIMES IN A 6 MONTH TIME LAPSE. MAINLY IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I'VE BEEN MOVING SLOW IN TRAFFIC, GOING THROUGH SPEED BUMPS AND LOCAL PARKING LOTS, BUT THE MOST SERIOUS WAS THE ONE I MENTIONED EARLIER. THIS IS MY SECOND TIGUAN, THE DEALERSHIP HAD CHANGED MY FIRST ONE BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THIS ONE; BOTH HAVE BEEN NEW AND HAVE HAD LOW MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN YOUR TRAVELING ANYWHERE FROM 10-20 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DIES OUT AND YOU HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN TO START IT. *TR |
