DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I REALIZED BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. IT WAS LIGHT WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE SO I DIDN'T NOTICE, I HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. JUST A LITTLE STRANGE THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. SO I CALLED TO ASK TO BRING MY CAR IN AND THE GIRL TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. I SEE RECALL 97Z9 FOR EXTERIOR LIGHTING. SHE TELLS ME I'LL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT AND IF THERE IS A RECALL IN THE FUTURE I CAN GET A REFUND. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I WAS TURNING LEFT OFF OF A HWY. I ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO 40 MILES AND THE CAR HESITATED LIKE IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS, DECREASED IN SPEED AND STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE GAS CAP, - IT WAS CLOSED. TURN CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED, CAR STILL SHAKING. I DROVE THE CAR TO SAFE PLACE OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MILES HOURS. I PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON, BUT THEY KEPT GOING OFF. THEN I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. THE CAR HAD RECEIVED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INCLUDING SPARK PLUG CHANGES TWO DAYS AGO, BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED. VOLKSWAGON DEALER SERVICE FOLKS SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE IGNITION COIL MISFIRED. ORIGINALLY CHARGED 300 TO HAVE IT FIX, THEN DISCOUNTED AND PAID 200. I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS RECENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE IGNITION COILS IN THE YEARS AROUND MY MODEL YEAR, AND VOLKSWAGON RECALLED THE IGNITION COIL A FEW YEARS AGO FOR OLDER MODELS. I THINK THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER THE 2011 YEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPORTED IT TO VOLKSWAGON. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME IN THE BACK. A BLOCK FURTHER I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR. I LOVE MY VOLKSWAGON, BUT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY TOLD ME TO PUT GAS TREATMENT IN SEE IF THAT FIXES PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HELP A BIT FOR A WEEK BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. THEN ONE MORNING I GOT UP AND TIRED TO START CAR IT HESITATED TO START ALMOST DIED AND STARTED. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT TO VOLKSWAGEN AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANK GOD I WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT DIED ON HIGHWAY. ONE OF THE RECALLS ON THIS MODEL IS DESCRIBING WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. BUT WHEN I LOOK IT UP THE SCORE TELLS ME THE RECALLS WERE FIXED. WHICH I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE. MY MOTHER TRIED TO GET VOLKSWAGEN TO FIX THE AIRBAG RECALL THEY JUST DISMISSED HER SAYING YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT ONE ON RECALL. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX VEHICLE THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND UNACCEPTABLE! NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

THE FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE) IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED BUT AS A "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. I WOULD EXPECT THIS TO LAST LONGER AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE TO GO OUT ON A VEHICLE. IT NEVER TELLS HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE WHETHER IT IS STILL, BEING DRIVEN, HOT, COLD, OR WHATEVER. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK.

THERE WAS NO CRASH OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, AIRBAG SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW, "ERROR: AIRBAG" MESSAGE IS SHOWN UP ON DASHBOARD AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS TURNED ON. IN ADDITION TO THAT, EVEN I BUCKLED UP, WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN SEAT BELT ALARM IS BEEPING AND SEAT BELT LIGHT HAS TURNED ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM CONCERNING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM DRIVING MY CAR EVERYDAY WITH POTENTIAL THREAT OF ACCIDENT WITHOUT AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED.

ENGINE OIL LEAK WAS NOTICED FIRST WHEN PARKED. AFTER FIRST REPAIR (NOVEMBER 01, 2018), IT STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN ONLY AFTER TWO DAYS FROM REPAIR. THEN IT WAS AGAIN REPAIRED, BUT IT STARTED TO LEAK THE SAME DAY AGAIN EVEN A NEW OIL PAN WAS REPLACED. NOW T IS UNDER REPAIRING AGAIN (NOT SURE THE COST AND POSSIBILITY TO FIX YET). THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE A FIRE OR EVENTUALLY ENGINE TO FAIL. MAY PROVIDE REPAIR REPORT FROM DEALER ONCE IT IS FINALIZED. THANK YOU.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A 4-WAY STOP SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH ON A SECONDARY ASPHALT PAVEMENT ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND AN AUDIBLE BEEPING NOISE CAME FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITH NO MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ACTIVATED CAUSING THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR WHICH IS POSSIBLY A RESULT FROM A MALFUNCTION IN THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM.

I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT THERE'S PLENTY ON THIS THAT PEOPLE ARE EVEN GOING TO THE TV NEWS STATIONS FOR HELP.THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG ,NO LIGHTS,NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE MOTOR STOPS WORKING. I SPOKE WITH THE WARRANTY COMPANY ,THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AS WELL AS VOLKSWAGEN... NOT ONE OF THEM WILL COVER THE ISSUE NOR HELP WITH THE ISSUE AT ALL. THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND ONLY JUST TURNED A MONTH AGO TO ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES. I CAN'T AFFORD ALMOST 8 THOUSAND FOR NEW ENGINE AS WELL AS LABOR COSTS. THE CAR IS NOT VERY OLD FOR IT NOT TO B RUNNING AND MOTOR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TWO PAY THREE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC COSTS AND TWO DIFFERENT TOWS. I NEED HELP,I WOULD ADVISE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT COMPLAINTS FROM 2009-2013 ON THIS VEHICLE WITH MOTOR WITH LOW MILES HAVING THIS ISSUE .IM THINKING OF CONTACTING A LAWYER TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE AS WELL AS THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTS.PRIOR TO THIS I OWNED THE DISEL PASSAT AND HAD TO TURN THAT IN WITH VOLKSWAGEN LYING ON EMISSIONS.DO NOT BUY A VOLKSWAGEN ,NOT WORTH IT.

AFTER DRIVING MY 2011 TIGUAN FINE A COUPLE TIMES EARLIER IN THE DAY, I CAME BACK TO MY PARKED CAR, AND TURNED IT ON. WHEN I DID THIS MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH AN "ERROR: AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I NOTICE THE HORN AND OTHER ELECTRICAL FEATURES OF THE WHEEL DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP, AND THEIR SAID THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACED. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER ALL OF THIS THAT I FOUND OUT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BEFORE. ALTHOUGH THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACED, THE VW SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY CANNOT GET THE CLOCK SPRING PART TO REPLACE IT. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME A TIME THAT THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

AS I WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND THEN A SNAP. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME ON AND ALL ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE HORN CEASED TO WORK. I HAD THE COVER PUT ON BASED ON THE PREVIOUS RECALL, WHICH OBVIOUSLY FAILED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER A HARD FIGHT, HAD THEM REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING. THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE HORN WAS RELATED TO THIS; HOWEVER, I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS INDICATING THE SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR MY HORN.
