The locking mechanism for the gas door stopped working properly and the door remains unlocked with the door popped open the majority of the time. If the door isn't popped open then it's locked shut and can't be opened normally and must be pried open.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 volkswagen tiguan. The contact stated that the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v441000 (fuel system, gasoline) had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair.

While driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,798. Updated 10/22/14*cn updated 4/8/2015
I wonder why I have not received a recall notice re: the federal safety agency campaign number 14v441000. My 2013 vw tiguan died while traversing a slight incline in an intersection. Fortunately no other cars were present. Vehicle was later towed to vw dealership. Work order failed to mention that auto died, instead service advisor wrote the following: "ck engine light on. Tech(s): 8563 warranty. Customer states check engine light is on. Scanned for trouble codes. Ran gffault p0192 fuel rail pressure intermittent. Performed test plan, checked fuel pressures, all within specs. Cleared codes, retested in am operating to specs, possible fuel level was too low in fuel tank, but vehicle is currently operating to specs." the instrument panel read range: 85 miles, which, in my opinion, discredits the conjecture that the fuel level in fuel tank was too low. Is there a way to facilitate receiving a recall notice? If so please advise.
Car stalled in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic with me and a two year old strapped in her seat. Most horrifying experience in my whole 48 years of life. Your dealer did nothing and said it's all in my head. Car was at the dealership multiple times ever since for stalling while me driving! Will start class action suit through an orlando law firm of debaubien, knight, manzaris, simmons and neal unless car is replaced.
I purchased a 2012 vw tiguan and started having problems with this vehicle at about 15,000 miles when the fuel pump and modulator went bad.. After that I went through 2 or 3 more fuel pumps on the vehicle, the steering column failed. Unsatisfied with the cars performance I voiced my opinion to the dealership; asking to get out of the vehicle. They contacted vw who agreed to place me in a 2013 model and gave about $4500 towards my costs of the updated model; which I still lost considerable money on because of a very low trade in value; but I wanted a safe vehicle for me and my family. Now I had the 2013 for over a year and 21,000 miles roles on and my fuel pump went out on this car. It happened while I was making a right turn into traffic and the car died almost causing my family and I to have a serious accident. The dealer replaced the fuel pump and module once again. I contacted vw and explained my wife and I are scared this problem will continue to happen and have found multiple sources including the dealer stating this problem continues to occur and I fear for my safety while driving. I also have been very patient with them regarding the multiple inconveniences this has been for me with multiple vehicles. They refused to help me and just continue with the original warranty. I asked for consideration to please be taken out of this vehicle and they out right refused to hear me. Now I have a car that I owe money on, cannot afford to trade in, with a known mechanical problem. My wife is scared to drive in the car and will not allow me to travel with my kids. Vw was only concerned about the bottom line and not the customer experience. The rep would not interject his own feelings however he did say given my vw experience he does not blame me for wanting out of the car; but vw would not help. All I asked for was a vehicle that will provide safety for me and my family.
After turning motor on, and backing up, the car is unresponsive when shifted into drive,. On 4 occasions now I have had to restart the car and try again. The accelerator seems progressively unresponsive. Yesterday, the car stayed in gear, and on long enough for me to pull into traffic and then died. I had to restart while vehicles drove around me. Thankfully it was a residential street. I'm very worried now to drive the car as it could happen in a busier environment and result in an accident. Checking online, this seems to have occurred to other volkswagen tiguan owners over the past 3 years, but dealership service departments were unable to determine the problem or changed out the fuel pump. After gm recall I am very concerned.
Vehicle cut out, and engine died. Sometimes the epc light is illuminated, other times it is simply a loss of power and then engine cut off. Has happened multiple times. Often during acceleration into traffic.
