TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN. IN JULY 2010, THE ELECTRONIC POWER CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THAT TIME. IN OCTOBER 2010, WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER WHERE A FEW PARTS WERE REPLACED (THE NAME OF THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH A ONE MONTH PAYMENT TOWARDS THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,053.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER. CARS WERE SPEEDING BY AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. EPC LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. CAR HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. EPC LIGHT RESETS AFTER CAR SITS OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. DEALER SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE LIGHT GOES OFF BEFORE IT GETS TO THE DEALER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CANT ACCELERATE AND MOVE TO A SAFE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR
