One problem related to tailgate has been reported for the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan based on all problems reported for the 2012 Tiguan.
The rear door (tailgate) does not latch nor lock. When it is closed, the catch does not engage and there is no noise from the locking motor. So the door remains open when driving or parking. This is the serious safety issue. I also found a lot of complaints and fault reports from other Volkswagen owners over the internet.
