Five problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
New 2019 Tiguan s 4motion purchased in Feb 2020 and has about 8k miles. Already having issues with hard shifting (both up and down) and have had the vehicle chug/stall and almost cause a crash 2 times now because it wouldn't accelerate. All of these issues are after about half hour of driving. Hard downshift is normally around 20-30mph and up shift 30-40. Never jerked before and now it's hard and very unsafe.
I have been having serious stalling issues with this car. . . Since the 1st day I received it. When I am driving the car would refuse to accelerate like getting on and off exits on expressway. . . Changing lanes etc. . . It also stalls and the engine stops while driving. . The car has a lane departure assist which pulls the car from 1 lane into the other violently. . . I am hoping to get this car replaced with another line from vw only because my lease is 5 mnths old. . . They are refusing to help me because there is no recall, maybe if someone dies they will give a rat's ass about this issue. . . An issue they had I. 2014. . . . Ease look into this. . Families can die from this problem.
Our 2019 vw Tiguan with 2 liter turbo motor has a random and repeated engine "stall" issue. The engine does not die but remains at idle (1000 rpm), in either d or s auto trans mode, but there is no forward movement even though the gas pedal is against floor board and then there is a rush of power, this delay lasts from 1 to 5 seconds, just enough to cause traffic merging issues. This problem usually occurs from standing start when driven straight ahead or turning. So far has not occurred above 50mph when entering freeway. This has occurred since car was delivered new with 40 miles on odometer and continues now at 1200 miles and usually at speeds from 0 - 25 mph and under 2000 rpm. I spoke to the local vw service manager and he suggested it was just turbo lag. I have owned turbo cars in past and this is not turbo lag, it is a loss of "signal" due to drive by wire technology which should never be allowed on a vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! otherwise the motor operates fine, providing decent gas mileage and power when on-boost above 2000 rpm. Our last new car a 2016 GMC terrain was also drive by wire but never exhibited this issue. There are numerous complaints online duplicating this problem which I had hoped was cleared up in older versions, evidently not.
Vehicle has been in service 5 times since purchased. Car stalls and does not restart.
New car, 2 months old, 3,000 miles. Issue has happened 4x. First istance, turning left onto a major 3 lane road, car suddenly loses power and then chugs to catch speed leaving you powerless with the foot peddle to the floor. Second instance, exiting a shopping center, light turned green, stepped on gas peddle and car bogged and sputtered as if out of gas and stalled in middle of intersection. Once I got it started again it moved forward. At next traffic light it sputtered again and would not go even after pumping gas peddle. Creeps to a rolling run and then goes. Third instance was entering an on-ramp from a stop light, car sputtered as if out of fuel again and barely made it out of intersection where I had to pull off the road to get the car going. 4x same as above. I'm now at dealer for second time- no repair and they say vw is aware of some customers experiencing this issue no fix at this time. Very dangerous to drive on atlanta city streets. I'm nervous to put my family back in the car.
