One problem related to brake disc pads has been reported for the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan based on all problems reported for the 2016 Tiguan.
Brought 2016 Tiguan less than 10 months, noticed scraping noises when breaking at local speed. Also hear clanking noise occasionally from bottom of the vehicle. Sent car to Volkswagen service center and found the rear rotors pitted and rusted. Service center just clean the surface and suggest to replacement when noise return. Call Volkswagen customer service open a case. According to the customer service my car has low mileages, cause rust developed and suggested to drive my car at least once a week. This is an unacceptable reason because I use my car average 2 days a week. When sent in for service, my cars had 3943 miles with driving with less than 10 months. On average drive about 394 per month and ~100 per week. I strongly question on what kind of material Volkswagen use causing the pad and rotors rust easily. Plus Volkswagen stated rotors and pads are not covered under warranty, replacement is under owner expense.
