Tail Light Switch problems of the 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan

After driving three hours I stopped to get fuel. When I started the car to leave the gas station I saw and heard the directional flasher speed up. I turned off the directional once I exited the station. I then signaled to turn right and the flasher increased flashing speed after 5 seconds. I then received numerous different bulb out messages on the multi function display. I got out and looked and found the right front headlight out as well as numerous amber and red lights on the right side of the car. The directional on the mirror assembly is working then when I parked the car it showed the rear left tail light is out. I confirmed this light is out now. This was night driving and this vehicle had a major electrical failure causing multiple lights including head lamps to be out while driving on the interstate. The vehicle will be scheduled to be serviced and diagnosed shortly at a vw dealer.

Lights started randomly going off and on. . It would be left front low beam and right front high beam then no tail lights or turn signal, etc. But after a few mins they would come back on then go back off. It is gwttin worse and occurs more often now and I feel unsafe driving it at night.

My 2011 Tiguan is erroneously and intermittently reporting that lamps are out. I went to the auto repair shop, and was told that it was caused by a melted fuse box. I have been on a lot of forum online, and it seems to be a common finding among vw owners,more so Tiguan. I do not understand why vwofa has not looked into the issue as yet. My brake lights, my tail lights, my headlights are all out. The idea that a fuse box could be melting under the hood is quite disturbing. Vw should look into the matter as soon as possible, because that 3/36k miles warranty that would possibly cover it, does not cut it, considering that this issue usually happens around 40k miles.

Passenger side headlight not lighting, the turn signal on the same side does not work and the rear drivers side tail light does not work.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the mechanic stated that the main fuse panel had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 35,000.

While driving I received multiple alerts of bulb failures and headlights, turn signals, tail lights would intermittently fail. Cause was a fuse and socket in the fuse box that melted and had to be replaced. I checked the recently announced recall however my VIN was not included so I wanted to bring it to your attention.
