STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for a well-known and common error: Travel Assist Unavailable. My dealer is saying that the steering wheel needs to be replaced, but the parts are 200+ on back order with no update on when they will come in. This is a major design flaw with this vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Since new (1/12/2022) the vehicle looses power when shifting between 1st and 2nd and/or 2nd and 3rd. This has been to the dealer several times and they always claim they can not duplicate the issue as it tends to be intermediate. I had to go to the dealer, drive the vehicle with the service manager and show him exactly what it does. I did that 3 weeks after the car was left with the dealer, this latest time, which it is currently still at the dealer for over a month now. Now they are telling me that this is how the transmission works and there is nothing they can do. This is dangerous! You don't know when it is going to happen and it doesn't matter if the car is warm or cold. You don't know, when pulling into traffic, if the vehicle is going to accelerate or not. Volkswagen claiming this is a normal function is a complete lie. They can't explain why it only happens randomly, but will just say it's "normal". It's unsafe and they need to do a nationwide recall and provide everyone who has an unsafe vehicle, a vehicle to drive until they are able to provide us with a vehicle that isn't dangerous to drive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While driving the vehicle, frequent faults stating "travel assist is currently not available" display on the instrument cluster, along with a warning light. During this time, the travel assist features can not be used. The error occurs randomly, and can happen multiple times back to back - it is not uncommon for the car's warning sound to alarm 10 or more times in a 20 minute drive. Scans of the vehicles's modules show multiple communication errors stemming back to the "Control Module for Steering Wheel Touch Detention". After taking the car to the dealership for an official diagnosis, it was determined that the steering wheel is indeed faulty and must be replaced. The car had just under 6000 miles prior to being brought to the dealership for diagnosis.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Acceleration and shifting at low speeds (below 25mph) is unpredictable. The car will hesitate and then lurch forward in an unpredictable way when reversing up a slope and when starting from a stop, particularly on a hill. The unpredictable nature of the issue, and the tendency of the vehicle to lag and then surge creates a significant safety concern. We took the car to the VW dealer we purchased it from for service. They confirmed there is a problem, and said they have received other complaints. They reset some settings, this did not correct the problem. Since then we have experienced a clunking noise sometimes when the car is shifting gears at low speeds.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
Tire pressure sensor seems to consistently read low tire pressure every month or so, adjust tire pressures and problem keeps happening. A month ago, I had a tire explode and I’m not sure if it was related to a faulty tire or from my improper tire gauge constantly giving me troubles. Bought the car in September 2022, and have replaced 2 Pirelli tires since. Now again my tire pressure is reading low in all my tires and the last time they fixed it was 12/23/22, hasn’t even been a month. I see they have had recalls on prior vehicles due to tire pressure loss detection issues. I have 4000 miles on my car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Infotainment system fails to come on when car is first started. Depending on the outside temperature, it can take 30+ minutes for the system to start. The lower the temperature, the longer it takes. This means that when the car is used for local errands, the system might never come on in cold weather. Therefore there is no backup camera available for maneuvering in a car that has poor rear visability. The dealer, (Tracey Volkswagon, Hyannis, MA) took it for a day and said it worked fine for them. The day they had it was not cold.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
When I leave somewhere it will “stall” very noticeably when giving it gas, to the point it won’t accelerate and feels like it’s not getting fuel for a second or two. It typically does it once and then drives normally. This happens almost daily and has done this since the car was bought new a few months ago. I have experienced this when pulling into traffic and the car not accelerating to get me up to a safe speed. It has not been inspected by a dealer at this time but several other owners of 2022 Tiguans are reporting the same issue. No warning lights are on or come on when the vehicle does this

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Driver fell asleep and vehicle want off the road into a ditch that led to a stone wall protecting a culvert. Vehicle hit the stone wall and was launched into the air across the driveway where it came to a rest on its right side. I estimate that the vehicle left the highway at 45 mph (the cruise control setting) and hit the stone wall at approximately 25-30 mph. During this violent event all airbags deployed EXCEPT DRIVER'S AIRBAG located in the center of the steering wheel. I have a severely bruised and very painful sternum as a result. All systems were normal with no indication of a safety system fault.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a VW 2022 Tiguan I reported the acceleration issue to the sales person at Norm Reeves VW Englewood fl. and I was told the acceleration issue would work it self out because of low fuel and air was in the fuel line. I brought the car in for a service check with under 350 mile on the vehicle. I was told the issue can't be duplicated. and nothing was wrong with the car. The second service appointment for the same issue was approx 1100 miles later now the acceleration issue was more severe. The car now sometimes goes non responsive when making a turn left or right coasting into the turn and then you try to accelerate and the gas pedal does down and nothing happens then suddenly the turbo kicks and takes off and it's a very frightening and dangerous situation . This issue is an accident waiting to happen.
