2011 VW TIGUAN - LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, SIGNALS) ALL RANDOMLY TURN OFF FOR VARYING PERIODS OF TIME. THE WARNING INDICATOR IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR INDICATES A LIGHT IS OUT. RESEARCH INDICATED POSSIBLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX ISSUE, FURTHER INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED THIS. A FUSE IN THE ENGINE FUSE BOX APPEARS FAULTY AND HAS BEGUN MELTING THE FUSE BOX ITSELF. IT APPEARS THERE ARE NUMEROUS TIGUANS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2009 AND 2011 WHICH ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY PLACING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK ON THE ROAD. I WILL SEEK TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED BUT WOULD LIKE VW OF AMERICA AND OTHER DRIVERS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT POSES MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN, OR AN INJURY. *TR
