Car Stall problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

I was driving and the car began to stall and vibrate. I had to pull over and took the car in and the reported that the ignition coil was bad.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. While the contact's son was driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle shuttered and stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the vehicle's timing chain skipped and caused the engine to fail. The timing chain and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

While out driving with my parents we just crossed over a very busy intersection, turned into wawa food store and it installed, as a big Cadillac escalade was entering the other entrance, as he almost hit me. I finally came to a stop and I was scared and very shocked as to what just happened. I call the dealership while in the parking lot very upset, as I already had an appointment for them to replace my nav system, already, yes that wasn't working right . . Took it on April 11 and they still have it. The service department was surprised that it happened and made me go outside with him and show him what exactly what it did. Really, like this is new news to them. I have been so upset and really don't want to drive it again and have this happen. I want to know what vw is going to do to fix this problem before any one is hurt or killed in an accident.

Car stalled while moving. After driving for 30 minutes I parked the car for 20 minutes and when pulling out of the parking space the car completely died. I put the car in park, turned the key and there was not a sound. I took out the key and reinserted and the car started. The identical situation occurred 11 days later. Took the Tiguan to vw. They said they could find nothing wrong with it and to keep them posted. Looking at forums the consensus is there is a problem in the fuel pump area but vw is hesitant to replace them. There are multiple reports of the same stalling issue from other 2012 Tiguan owners.

Serveral times while driving my SUV many failure indicator lights indicating epc falure, tire monitoring system failure, license plate light not working, left turn signal not working, brakes lights do not light up, esc not functioning. Trunk also will not unlock. It seemed like every system warning light this car has came on showing system failures. Everytime this has happened my car loses power and barely wants to move or stalls all together having the automobiles behind me almost rear end my SUV. This SUV with these problems is a accident waiting to happen & someone if not me driving these SUV's will get into an accident if vw doesn't find the right problem to correct this safety issue so many owners are having the same electrical problems I read online plus the ones who have filed a complaint already.

I was making a right turn on a red light and the vehicle turned off almost mid turn, forcing an incoming car to swerve quickly to the next lane. This stalling has occurred about 4-5 times in a 6 month time lapse. Mainly it has happened when I've been moving slow in traffic, going through speed bumps and local parking lots, but the most serious was the one I mentioned earlier. This is my second Tiguan, the dealership had changed my first one because of the same issue, but now it's happening again with this one; both have been new and have had low mileage. The problem seems to occur when your traveling anywhere from 10-20 mph and all of a sudden it dies out and you have to turn it off and on again to start it.
