general problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan

Check engine light came on, related to the thermostat and faulty water pump. My car’s make and model was part of a settlement for this issue but vw corporate will not cover costs to repair.

The check engine light on my car comes up anytime I drive the car. The car has 72350 miles driven. The dealership said it is a known timing belt issue with vw Tiguans . It is going to cost me upto $3000. They also advised me not to drive the car as the engine may stall. When I contacted vw they said they cannot help and there is no recall on this. However there has been court cases for the same issue upto the 2014 model year Tiguans and extended warranty of 100000 miles or 10 years was given. I need vw to help with either the repair or give me exended warranty. Vw customer care is not very helpful.

Timing chain “extended” during driving resulting in the car to start to shudder and shake violently during movement. Had to force the vehicle off the side of the road. Car is 66k miles, timing chain is rated at 120k+. Engine block is now totaled. Dealership will not pursue any actions and has charged 7k to fix. Car is only worth 8/9k. Vw was contacted and they said there was no action they could do further. There were no warning lamps, check engine lights, or anything. Car was maintained at regular intervals.

My daughter has a 2014 vw Tiguan which had the check engine light come on at the end of July 2022. We took vehicle to the local vw dealer who informed us that they found code p0328 knock sensor 1 circuit high. Oil level said to be fine. Timing angle difference of camshafts said to be at a value of -5. 76 degrees. Advised replacement of timing chain. Vehicle is 8 years old with 106,000 miles, but timing chain replacement is merely estimated at a least 10years and 125,000. The vw/Audi 2. 0 engines have a known and recalled problem with timing chains and tensioners that I believe involved (2007-2013) and extended warranty to 100k miles. Here we are just outside the box and get no help and no assistance and a estimated $2200 repair bill. Have to wonder if these 2014 Tiguans also have an issue but simply weren't extended into the recall or the recall wasn't comprehensive enough? I would love to have an analysis as to when our vehicle was assembled to see if its parts were of the same specification to those recalled. Would ultimately like some assistance in the cost of the repair. Have reached out to vw customer care and basically got no help.

Took to dealer 11/16/2021 for service engine light. Found faulty turbo. The exhaust manifold and turbo come as one part. A valve inside seizes open or closed and cause a code to set. Open code is low boost. If it is seized closed it is a over boost code. This effects emissions! this car low mileage and turbo failed at 11/16/2021 at 40,000 miles. This is common issue in 2. 0 tsi engine.

Vehicle vw Tiguan 2014 VIN: wvgav3ax1ew521375 vehicle has been presenting several issues. Carbon build up causing vehicle to stall and tremble turning off some times. Safety concern as it could cause an accident. Bad heater core as it gets restricted and reheats the vehicle possible outcome a fire, safety concern due to live threatening condition. Misdiagnosed several times to change spark plugs, might be a computer misdiagnose, safety concern due to possible accident and live threatening condition leak of oil, bad seals and hoses, vehicle smell like burn oil could catch fire safety concern to live. 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. Please advice on the proper procedure for me to follow to add my VIN to the recalls as this vehicle does not meet the warranties of merchantability. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Thank you.
