I drove to a friends house and about two hours later got in the car and started to drive then 10 of my exterior lights all went out the same time. My footwell lights I cannot dim or brighten through the controls and back up sensor stopped working. I had no headlights while I was driving at night at around 11pm. All this happened at once at the same time. All of the bulbs were fine. I replaced them. They weren't even blown. Fuses were fine. This is a real safety hazard and can lead to crash if not looked into.

I received a safety recall 97z9 letter asking me to take my vw tiguan to a vw dealer to have the affected fuse (plug-in position f16) replaced. I responded and informed the company that there's no vw car dealership on st. Croix, in the us virgin islands where I have the tiguan. I asked if the part could be shipped and the vw mechanic could install it, and I was told that can't be done. The gentleman then told me that the nearest vw dealership is in puerto rico, and I should ship my car there to have the work done. Puerto rico is separated from the virgin islands by approximately 12,000 miles of water. It is not practical for me to ship my car there. I need some help in resolving this problem.

Warning message "check front left headlight". Tested the light and it was not working. Purchased a new bulb, replaced the bulb and the new bulb was not working. Tested the bulb and it was good. Opened the fuse box under the hood and noticed the 30 amp fuse (top left corner of box) was burned/melted. Attempted to remove and was unable to remove. In addition the corresponding 15 amp fuse was burned out but not melted. Contacted the dealership and was informed that my particular vehicle was not involved in the federal safety agency investigation for faulty fuse box. Researched further and discovered that tiguan models from 09-12 were under investigation. In addition to the front headlight I also replaced the right rear light which was also out. I did not test the existing bulb on this light. Just replaced. I would like for this to service a formal complaint to the federal safety agency regarding what appears to me as an unsafe condition in the fuse box.

While driving the fault indicator light came on saying that the right front headlight was out. After parking for a period of time and restarting the car, the mmi was indicating numerous faults with about half of the lighting on the right side of the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a vw dealer that did a diagnostic test and the result was that a fuse had melted into the fuse block and that was causing the light outages. The entire fuse block needed to be replaced and the total repair with labor was just over $600.00. I called vw north america on 12-6-2013 and they say there is no recall for that issue on my VIN and that of course if there is one in the future that I could possibly be reimbursed at that time for some or all of my expenses.
