2017 Volkswagen Tiguan: engine stalls while driving

Filed Sep 6, 2022 · Engine · IL

I was driving vehicle and it began to stall. I was a block away from home and made it home turned it off. When I tried to turn it on it would not start. I had it towed where I was told that the engine was BLOWN at no fault of my own. At 119000. I am still paying on this vehicle and can’t even use it. Mechanic says it’s not even worth putting a new engine in. The money I would spend on it I might as well get a new vehicle. Replacing the engine would start at 9,000.00. VW NEEDS A RECALL on this. Mechanic says he sees this alot on this vehicle

While driving at a constant speed or decelerating the engine will stall without warning. The engine runs so quietly the only indication that it has stalled is there is no power and the steering becomes more difficult as the vehicle gets slower. It doesn't seem to matter your speed, it will just stall and this can be incredibly dangerous. Originally happened in 2017 and took to the vw dealership but they couldn't find anything wrong. It is happening again today and earlier this week 8/19/2018

My 2017 volkswagen tiguan has 19,000 miles on it. I just bought it from a honda dealership (single owner, leased) body is in like new shape. The car has stalled on while driving 6 times total, on 3 different occasions, while driving. The engine just shut off without warning (stalled out) while the car was moving over 40mph and an epc light came on. This is extremely dangerous, and left my family in a very dangerous situation on the highway. A car engine should never shut off while driving and now has me feeling very unsafe when driving it. It has been in and out of the local vw dealership for 3 weeks. This car is only a year old and has less than 20,000 miles on it. It should not be stalling out without warning and leaving my family in severely dangerous situations. There is no indication before hand that the car is going to stall. After it stalls out it can take up to 5 minutes to start again. Holding the start button (while putting the car in neutral because it stalled out while driving) to hopefully get it to start again on a dangerous highway in motion in traffic with nothing but a prayer to help us. This needs to be fixed. I would rather have my family safe and my car engine destroy itself, rather than the current process of my car engine "shutting itself down without warning to save itself" while leaving my family in dangerously unsafe situations while driving with a car that turns itself off as it pleases potentially creating a situation in which my family could be injured or worse (as it shuts itself down with a mind of its own when it thinks there is a problem). This car is new and has been at the dealership longer than in my driveway. I do not feel safe letting my family drive it. I lost confidence in this car and have great doubt in its future affordability and safety, reliability. I am very, very concerned.
