2009 Tiguan 2. 0 tsi all wheel drive in 2012 I discovered some wetness in the Tiguan floor mat. (less then 3 years old car) I took it to vw dealership, they found a malfunction of the roof drain hose. The estimate was so high $700 that I figure well, I can live with a little wetness when it rains hard. 2012 to 2015 the car was at pizza ardmore vw several times (the same dealership) due to an ongoing red and orange warning lights on the dashboard. "check engine"�including malfunction of the airbag. In may 2015 the engine completely stopped running. "you need a new engine" I was told, without providing me with any explanation in spite of my request. How come 25,000 mile engine brakes? nearly $8,000 for a new engine on a six year old Tiguan. Two year later, the car stopped running again, the engine will not start, all electric are shot, no radio, no light, no airbags, no power, all gone. Back to piazza ardmore vw,� the car was then declared total loss, it was too expensive to fix. It all happened for two reasons. The vw manufacturer production defect of the drain hose. And lousy piazza vw dealership neglected to detect and fix the problem twice before it was declared a total loss. �.

Car would not start or even turn over. Battery was fine and firmly connected. Lights all came on. No error messages. On third or fourth try, it started right up. I backed the car out of driveway onto my street with distant approaching traffic. I shifted from reverse to drive and the car began to move forward and left, then with a loud clunk it died completely, engine off, all lights dark. Now in danger from the not-so-distant oncoming traffic, I tried to restart. Same trouble as before---no reponse but the all lights came on. Two or three tries and then it started. The same thing occurred the following morning. No oil dump or any other fluid. Unknown cause. Vw dealershsip unable to recreate the problem and thus unable to diagnose. The dying while in motion problem is a potentially injury-causing or even fatal hazard.
The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan. While driving 45 mph, the power steering warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

While driving on a highway at approximately 35mph the vehicle shut down. I tried to re-start the engine and it did not start. The vehicle came to full stop. It took a while to re-start the engine. The first incident was repaired by a vw dealer, but I never got a clear explanation of what happened. The second incident happened last Sunday on a high traffic local road at about 45 mph. The vehicle shut down and again came to a full stop. It will not re-start.
