I am having several problems with my Tiguan. The passenger seat detection sensor is very sensitive. I can place my phone or something very light on the seat and my car automatically starts to chime and the passenger airbag is turned on. This could be a safety hazard in the accident if no passenger is present. The other issue I have with this car is the acceleration is inconsistent. Sometimes I can hit the accelerator and the car flies, other times, the car stutters and has some lag.
