1 Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problem of the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

My brand new 2019 vw Tiguan fwd next day after buying showed multiple problems that related to transmission and breaking and a unknown source of rattling sound. I noticed when I cold start the Tiguan and let it idle for 3-4 minutes the normal engine sound slowly goes down but a louder and more noticeable rattling sound comes up. It is heard while driving also. It's concerning but what is more concerning is the that the Tiguan hesitates while shifting gears. I noticed it happens while accelerating from a stop. Not only it hesitates to accelerate you'd feel the cars struggle while shifting gears. Each time the gear is shifting you could feel the car is at a confused state and so you feel it thump. At other times I've experienced the car almost stalls where the rpm goes up but transmission slips. It doesn't change gear. The worst of all is that while slowly breaking the car tried to speed up. The rpm is also seen to go up. The very unfortunate news is that though the dealer's technician drove with me and saw the issue they don't have a fix. Vw corporation also isn't providing a fix. There's other reports of similar problems. The Tiguan has a known transmission problem according to other owner reports. It may not be all Tiguan but my car is a lemon. The problem probably has to do with which location the car was manufactured. This is a very big safety concern. I am very worried about such erratic issues 2nd day. How did vw get past safety boards. They need to solve this issue before devastating events such as death or other things occur. No vehicles should slip gears while accelerating nor speed up while breaking.

2 Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problem of the 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan

Failure Date: 06/24/2018

Purchased October 2017 and in January started to hear rattling sounds. Took back to Subaru service where purchased and they did not find anything wrong with vehicle. In June 2018 car started to sputter and make sounds while driving and would not adjust rpms when driving. Could not go faster when stepping on the gas pedal on the highway. Three days later, car would start but would not go into gear and had to be towed from a restaurant parking lot. Mechanic gave an estimate of over $6,000 because timing chain broke and engine failed. Engine light had not gone on before that incident. Possible defect by Volkswagen when learning about class action lawsuit and my car is same year make and model of ones in lawsuit.
