I own a 2014 vw tinguan sel 2. 0t 4motion. I took my vw to the dealer (prestige imports, 44 pleasantville road, pleasantville, NY 10570 (914-769-51500) with 84196 miles on December 13, 2023. The complain was “roof is leaking water from sunroof on the foor on the passenger side and then makes its way to the real passenger” they cleaned the clogged drained -$145. Only to return in mid-February with a flooded on the same left side. With no diagnosis how to fixed - my had a car not driverable in in the rain ?? I am forced to get a new car - and to insult to injury the dealer is only offering $3,500 as a trade in.
There is mold growing in my vehicle due to there being a sealant issue with my panoramic moon/sun roof, causing a water leak into the vehicle. The moon roof is fully functioning, but a vw dealer has told me that this is a known issue for my model and year, and he recommends trading it in because even if I spend the $6k+ it would take to replace it - there is no guarantee it won’t occur again. I have been inhaling the moldy air in my vehicle and this is 1000% a safety hazard!.
This is the second time my Volkswagen Tiguan's spring clock has broken. As a result I have lost access to my airbags and horn. I also can't contact my driver electrical from the steering wheel. I am being told there is no way of knowing when the dealership may be able to get the part. I will be driving in an extremely unsafe care with my one-year old son. This is terrifying.
The clock spring in my vehicle went out. There is a backorder of upwards of 1 yr for part to replace. Vw stated its a known issue. Until the clock spring gets fixed, I have no drivers side airbag, no horn, all lights on dash are on. With them all on, I am not alerted to any issues that may be occurring with any system in my vehicle.

The 2014 vw Tiguan have a campaign number 18v329000 with NHTSA, yet my VIN number does not shows in the recall. Also many models from vw carry all this different issues and have been recall.

Something was wrong with the turbo I was driving and car just shut off I took it in they said it was the turbo not even 2 years go by and I started to drive and car was jerky and idling funny took it to advanced auto for a diagnostic and they said it was the turbo. Im taking it back to the dealer tomorrw with 3 more years of payments left.
After taking car to vw dealer I received these repair estimates: air bag control module needs to be replaced. . . Seat belt assembly 655 recommend replacing right seat belt. . . . Crankcase breather hose recommend replacing breather valve. Was parked and idle was fluctuating abnormally. . . Air bag light came on for no apparent reason and seatbelt works fine.
Takata recall - driver's side air bag stopped working the horn stopped working while I was driving. I found out that the horn wasn't working as I was almost killed by someone moving in to my lane and directly toward my car. Luckily, they saw me at the last minute. , all computer communication in the steering column stopped working. Looked on line and saw that these issues were caused by a bad clock switch. Took the car to the dealer and I was told there was no recall for my car. They told me that the clock spring was no longer covered by warranty because I had 50,000 miles on the car. The dealer wanted to charge me 800. 00 to fix the clock spring.
On April 15, 2014, I was at a gas station waiting to pull into an available pump with the car in drive. The car's engine suddenly shut off completely and the battery light signaled. I was able to put the car in park, turn the key to the off position, and restart the engine. As soon as I restarted the engine, the check engine symbol was illuminated. I drove home after filling up on gas. The following morning, April 16, 2014, I called open road Volkswagen of manhattan and scheduled a service appointment for Monday, April 21, 2014. For the remainder of that week, until Sunday, the car did not shut off and the check engine light was illuminated the majority of the time. There were times when I would drive and the check engine light would not be illuminated. On Sunday, April 20, 2014, I was driving on the ramp to get on the fdr drive from the brooklyn bridge, going approximately 20-40 mph, and the engine shut off completely. In the middle of highway traffic, I was forced to place the car in park, turn on my hazard lights, turn the key to the off position, and restart the engine. During the course of driving to an emergency shoulder, as this was an extremely dangerous situation, the car's engine once again turned off completely while I was driving. After making it to an emergency shoulder area, I contacted Volkswagen roadside assistance and the car was eventually towed. Today, April 21, 2014, I spoke with a service representative at open road Volkswagen of manhattan and was told that the check engine symbol of the vehicle is not on (as I mentioned earlier, sometimes it was on for me and sometimes not) and that the car did not have an issue when driven around the block. Therefore, the service representative is going to take the car for an extended period to see if the issue reproduces. Of course, this is an incredibly dangerous issue and should be fixed.
