36 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan

Failure Date: 06/05/2021

When the vehicle is started remotely and cruise control was not turned off before turning off the vehicle, the acc system shows an error and fails to engage when the driver tries to set cruise control. If one relies on acc often but does not often use remote start, this situation can lead to improper driver expectations and rear-end collisions as the car doesn’t brake when the driver expects it to. This is a well-known issue at vw dealerships and widely reported by owners on vw forums. Mostly it’s just an annoyance, but today I experienced it as a safety issue.
