On four separate occasions the car has lost power while in drive on city streets. First occasion april 23 2014 the coolant/water pump failed as did fuse. May 23 fuel pump failed and fuel pump panel. July 28 car died while driving due to faulty fuel injector. Yesterday aug 15 2016 car again lost power while driving on city streets and had to be towed (fourth time with less than 50k miles) to dealer. I am awaiting diagnosis but no longer feel safe in the vehicle. Twice I was fortunate that police officers showed up and were able to push my car out of traffic and to safety but at this point I believe vw should take action to replace the car as it has clearly proven a safety hazard for myself and others on the road.

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.

We had a partial loss of exterior lighting on our 2011 vw tiguan at roughly 61,000 miles. We lost passenger side headlight, rear driver side blinker, front passenger blinker, reverse lights, and tag lights. We tried to replace the bulbs but bulbs were fine. I also checked all fuses and all were ok none were blown. We then took the car to an import specialist since the car was no longer under warranty. They found a circuit under the fusebox that overheated and melted. They replaced the circuit and the lighting was restored, however they said that it would most likely happen again. The replaced circuit only lasted about three weeks and now we have lost the same exterior lighting as before. We contacted vw service and they said based on our VIN # there was no recall for our vehicle.
