1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2018

2018 Tiguan was purchased new in April - mid may car would not start, all warning lights went on. Car eventually turned on. A few days later while driving (on the road), car stopped completely, all warning lights went on. Had to be towed to closest vw where it would remain for over a month. First diagnosed as unknown electrical prob - needed to be analyzed by vw engineer who believed it to be the battery. New battery did not remedy issue - new alternator was ordered, again did not remedy the issue. Finally was identified as a issuing with the wiring being stripped. Feel completely unsafe in my new car - has also been effected by two recalls since (in addition to the one month in the vw dealership from non recall issue) - current sunroof recall has no fix only a temporary solution to disconnect the wiring - I feel completely unsafe in the car and will not drive the vehicle. Car should be bought back by vw - open recalls with no fix leave the car worthless. What else will go wrong with the 2018 Tiguan - will not purchase another vw in the future.
