general problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan

Purchased October 2017 and in January started to hear rattling sounds. Took back to Subaru service where purchased and they did not find anything wrong with vehicle. In June 2018 car started to sputter and make sounds while driving and would not adjust rpms when driving. Could not go faster when stepping on the gas pedal on the highway. Three days later, car would start but would not go into gear and had to be towed from a restaurant parking lot. Mechanic gave an estimate of over $6,000 because timing chain broke and engine failed. Engine light had not gone on before that incident. Possible defect by Volkswagen when learning about class action lawsuit and my car is same year make and model of ones in lawsuit.

Dealership informed us timing chain needed to be replaced and manifold would be replaced under warranty. After replacing timing chain, they notified us manifold was already replaced on vehicle and it also needed new valves due to being bent from bad timing chain. Many other vw owners have experienced timing chain issues. These issues started while the vehicle was in motion and while driving led to extreme shaking and noise at low speeds. Vehicle felt very unsafe to drive and was promptly taken to dealer.

The motor started to run rough. It was ideling from 1500 to 2000 rpm. I was told it is the pressure control valve. I changed the diaphram in the p. C. V. It was torn . It also caused my rear main motor seal to start to leak oil. Problem only got worse as now I have a fuel injector stuck shut. I drive city only . Car has 76000 miles on it . Rear main seal blew because of the faulty p. C. V. It controls engine and oil preassure. Estimated repair is 1500. 00to 2200. 00 . I have read this has happened to some other vw Tiguan owners. Thalk you carl checko.

The engine is shutting off/stalling without any warning, this has happened a few times. Each time the symptoms are the same, after driving for about an hour the car is parked and left for one or two hours. When it is restarted it runs for about 30 seconds and then shuts off with no warning, the car can be moving at the time or stationary and still in park, either way the engine can be restarted but may shut down for a second time after another 30 seconds. So far it has not required more than one restart, there are no fault codes which may indicate a fuel or electrical issue. I have researched this and it appears to be a common issue with the Tiguan. My concern is that the car may be involved in an accident as you have to wait for the car to come to a complete stop then select park and restart the engine, you can then put it back into drive before you can pull away again,and repeat if it happens a second time.

2010 vw le Tiguan purchased new and immediately the back-up camera comes on while driving stating that you can't use the back-up camera while driving. While service tried to fix several times, it continues to date. Water pump failed while driving, trunk hatch mechanism failed and had to be replaced and drivers door lock and window lock failed and new door replaced. Electrical box fuses melted and had to be replaced and the front passenger seat warmer overheated and melted the seat causing full replacement of seat (from the factory in germany). Engine manifold flap failed and had to be replaced. Integrated ipod jack has never worked correctly. Moon roof drain failed causing the inside of the vehicle to have ice on the windows and windshield causing the whole mechanism to be replaced.
