1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2019

I noticed a huge oil puddle where my car was parked. I drove straight to the vw service dept in my area. . . The car has less than 75k miles & was last serviced by a vw dealership due to fuel pump recall. Upon my discovery of the massive oil leak, I now know was spawned from the pcv valve going bad which has resulted in blowing out 3 seals and requiring a new pan. I have recieved an estimate from a vw dealership service dept and a well know auto repair shop- both have quoted the cost no less than $2000 with potential of reaching $3000. Essentially the pcv part is about $20. 00 in cost, but because it just "went bad" and its purpose is to allow the engine to breathe. . . Blowing out these additional seals means that the engine will need to be removed to be repaired. The car is valued around $7000 to resale in good condition. Now, a consumer has to spend 30% to 40% of the cars value to repair the faulty valve that caused additional issues in order to stop the bleeding. I bought this car from carmax at 30k miles in Nov 2014- at the time of purchase there was no disclosure of a recall issued in August of 2014 & did not even receive a letter regarding the recalled until 2 years later from either carmax or vw. In all actuality the entire section in the owner's manual regarding the engine was completely removed & is missing. No indicator lights came on or were displayed from the leak or seals. I would have never known if I wasn't park in a paver driveway at someone's home & asked if that large oil mark was there prior to me parking there in the past 24 hrs. If I continued driving mu vehicle, it could have resulted in a sequence catastrophic events, in a vehicle that has been maintained according to all service standards & requirements on behalf of it's owner.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2015

I had purchase this vehicle new and for the life of the vehicle I have been experiencing the same thing shaking, stalling and then engine lights comes on. My vehicle now has 59900. Miles on it and on yesterday the same thing occurred. When I contacted vw they said my VIN # is not on the recall list but it needs to be because I have paid for a fuel pump flush I have had it done while under warranty also and I'm having the same results where the vehicle shakes violently and shuts off while in traffic so this is dangerous because and accident could of occurred stopping unexpectedly. Once attempted to be driven vehicle did not start again.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2015

The coil, the fuel pump and the rear seal are defective. They are covered for repair under an extended warranty. The issue is that this is the 3rd engine failure this year, another in the past. If you google 2009 Tiguan rear seal, you will find many many vw owners experiencing this same issue at this early and early mileage on this vehicle. There is an apparent manufacturers defect that is being overlooked.
