2010 vw tiguan, with repeated engine failures associated with power steering module, boost solenoid / engine coils, wiring harness, fuse re-call, loss of power / thrust / electrical panel instability, beginning in july 2013 upon the limited wolfsburg platform. Service was provided by a vw dealership, 16 days prior to the august 2013 accident. The car was not returned to me until october 1, 2013. (almost 8 weeks) a rental car was applied, but there was significant out of pocket expense for taxes / fee's for a 2 month rental. The vw upon return oct 1, 2013 then broke down again on oct 9th, for electrical failure again. The car was towed back to vw dealership for repair. I was given a complimentary loaner car. The vw was then returned and then ran without significant incident until march 16th, of which the engine failed for engine coils, and was towed back to the vw dealership for service, the car then experienced another electrical mechanical failure on 3/25, resulting in a 2nd front end collision. I received a not at fault decision on the first accident, per the commonwealth of ma.
2010 Volkswagen Tiguan steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We have had the power steering cut out multiple times in the vehicle. It has not happened while driving, the red power steering light seems to be on when we start it the second time for the day and doesn't always reset when restarting the car. We have yet to bring it to get fixed as the nearest dealer is 1200kms away.
I was driving down the freeway in my 2 month old 2010 tiguan when a car in the left lane came over into my lane. I swerved to the right to avoid him hitting me and when I did the tiguan started jerking back and forth (left to right and back) so hard that it jerked the steering wheel out of my hands. It was all I could do to keep the car going straight. I had to hold on so tight with both hands that I wasn't even able to let go long enough to honk at the other car.
