2019 Volkswagen Tiguan

THE VEHICLES BRAKE LINE THAT WENT INTO THE ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT TIGHT ENOUGH AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE LOSS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM COULD BE FELT WHILE DRIVING, AND EVENTUALLY RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE NOT STOPPING. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND HAD 185MILES ON IT WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED.

THERE IS A LOUD THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON DOWNWARDS ROAD BUMPS (DOES NOT HAPPEN ON SPEED BUMPS). HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. THE FASTER THE VEHICLE IS, THE LOUDER THE NOISE BECOMES. DEALER IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS 11K MILES AT THE MOMENT, AND ISSUES IS THERE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. DEALER SUGGESTED WE WAIT UNTIL PROBLEM GETS WORSE SO THEY CAN IDENTIFY IT EASIER. DOCUMENTED IN THE PAPERWORK THAT A COMPLAINT WAS ENTERED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO "REPLICATE". I HAVE MANY INSTANCES RECORDED ON MY DASHCAM, HOWEVER NHTSA DOES NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD A VIDEO.

NEW CAR, 2 MONTHS OLD, 3,000 MILES. ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 4X. FIRST ISTANCE, TURNING LEFT ONTO A MAJOR 3 LANE ROAD, CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND THEN CHUGS TO CATCH SPEED LEAVING YOU POWERLESS WITH THE FOOT PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. SECOND INSTANCE, EXITING A SHOPPING CENTER, LIGHT TURNED GREEN, STEPPED ON GAS PEDDLE AND CAR BOGGED AND SPUTTERED AS IF OUT OF GAS AND STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT MOVED FORWARD. AT NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT IT SPUTTERED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT GO EVEN AFTER PUMPING GAS PEDDLE. CREEPS TO A ROLLING RUN AND THEN GOES. THIRD INSTANCE WAS ENTERING AN ON-RAMP FROM A STOP LIGHT, CAR SPUTTERED AS IF OUT OF FUEL AGAIN AND BARELY MADE IT OUT OF INTERSECTION WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO GET THE CAR GOING. 4X SAME AS ABOVE. I'M NOW AT DEALER FOR SECOND TIME- NO REPAIR AND THEY SAY VW IS AWARE OF SOME CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE NO FIX AT THIS TIME. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON ATLANTA CITY STREETS. I'M NERVOUS TO PUT MY FAMILY BACK IN THE CAR.

TWO TIMES MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF ON MY 2019 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN HAS EXPLODED. THE FIRST TIME WAS FEB. 13, 2019, JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE SECOND TIME WAS A WEEK AND A HALF AGO ON AUG. 8, 2019. BOTH TIMES THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING TO WORK AND DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH. IT SOUNDED BOTH TIMES LIKE A GUN SHOT GOING OFF IN MY CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING EITHER TIME, IT JUST HAPPENED AND WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS FAR ENOUGH BACK FROM OTHER VEHICLES. THE MOST RECENT EXPLOSION WAS WORSE. A HUGE HOLE WAS LEFT AND PIECES WERE FLYING OFF BEHIND MY VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I HAD THE MESH SCREEN CLOSED, SO NONE OF THE GLASS CAME INTO THE VEHICLE ON ME. THE HOLE THAT WAS LEFT THE SECOND TIME WAS HUGE AND FLARED OUTWARDS, WHICH INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE GLASS. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY RISK. THANKFULLY BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT I WORRY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T RAINING EITHER TIME, IF IT WAS I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE RAIN COMING IN ON ME AND KEEPING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE 2019 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN PANORAMIC SUNROOF.

CARNET IN-CAR SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. BROUGHT HOME THE NEW 2019 TIGUAN WITH ONLY 5 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I PUSHED THE CARNET BUTTONS....NOTHING. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK TWO DAYS TO TRY TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX. IT'S A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND VW MUST COME UP WITH A FIX. OVER 2 MONTHS LATER, STILL FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY FRUSTRATED WITH VW.

VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SHAKES/SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY UNDER LIGHT/NORMAL ACCELERATION IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AND EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING SITUATION. I PURCHASED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAVE APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES ON IT - THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. UNDER LOAD, SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AND AS THE VEHICLE REACHES APPROXIMATELY 9-11 MPH AT 2000RPM, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF THE ENGINE IS BEING LUGGED OR IS MISFIRING. THIS REALLY ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO WARM UP AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR SOME TIME IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC. IT IS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED ON. THE SHAKING/SHUDDERING HAS MADE ME EXTREMELY DIZZY AND NAUSEOUS TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE ALREADY BECOME PHYSICALLY SICK TO MY STOMACH ONCE. I HAD TO CUT OFF 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO REACH THE SHOULDER SO I COULD AVOID GETTING SICK IN THE CAR - THIS WAS ON 7/8/2019, A WEEK AGO TODAY. SEVERAL PASSENGERS WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER TWICE OVER THIS ISSUE AND ALTHOUGH THEIR EFFORTS TO DIAGNOSE IT WERE MADE IN GOOD FAITH, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THIS ISSUE THAT I ATTEMPTED TO SHARE WITH THE DEALERSHIP UPON DROPPING IT OFF THE SECOND TIME, WHICH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE DID NOT VIEW AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP. I ALSO RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION/AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (CAR-NET), IS COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL DUE TO A SOFTWARE BUG AND WILL NOT WORK AT ALL UNTIL VOLKSWAGEN COMES UP WITH AN UPDATE FOR IT (PER THE DEALER). I AM EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR THESE REASONS AND CONTINUE TO FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH EVERY TIME I USE IT TO COMMUTE TO OR FROM MY JOB, WHICH IS JUST OVER 30 MILES FROM MY HOME.
