2017 Volkswagen Tiguan steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I suffered a front-end collision on 11/15/2022 in my 2017 VW Tiguan. I was going on I-66 in Virginia 40-45mph back to college at Howard University, and a car stopped suddenly after being cut off, but it was raining horribly and I was in half a foot of water, so even with braking, I hydroplaned into the vehicle in front of me, causing insubstantial damage to them but very significant damage to my vehicle as well as whiplash.
Upon starting and driving our 2017 tiguan which has 8000 miles on it the steering system red warning light came on and the vehicle lost all power steering. In fact it was virtually impossible to steer it at all. And im a reasonably arm-strong male. Im lucky this didn't happen on an interstate or at higher speeds or I would have been in an accident. It occurred on a surface road while I was travelling 30 MPH. Outside temp was 2 degrees above 0.
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
