2022 Tiguan overhead consule just fell down hanging by wires. No glasses compartment so not sure what would cause the stress on it due to usage. Dealer said 2020 models had issue and have an extended warranty. The 2022 does not have any recall. Seems like design flaw vw should correct as issue comes up. If I was driving at the time. It would have hit me or passenger in the head. This is a safety concern. I have seen multiple posts where this has happened. Vw said I am out of warranty and will not do anything. It is 2022 and I have seen 2020 and 2021 models with owners posting same issue.
Instrument cluster and infotainment display were blacked out in day time from start up and for duration of drive aproximate 2 hours. Restarting had no effect, turning lights on and off had no effect on dash display. Brightness of display is controlled through infotainment display which was not visible. After 20 minute shutdown and restart display was normal again. Checking display brightness setting, it was normal. I reset it to very high. 1 hr later while driving display dimmed and brightened repeatedly over 5 minute duration, then went dark again for duration of drive, but due to reset of brightness I could dimmly see speedometer reading. Perhaps if I had a blanket to cover display when it first started it may have been visible but just extremely dim. During this condition backup camera display also black.
