I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND MY AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED ITSELF BRINGING MY CAR TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE STREET, ON THE FRONT ON MY CAR, OR IN FRONT OF ME.

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED TWICE IN SIX WEEKS WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING LOT ONTO A CITY STREET. THIS HAPPENED AT 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING RIGHT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP 1/3RD TO 1/2 THROUGH THE TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INDEPENDENTLY SLOWED DOWN UPON THE VEHICLE CEASING FORWARD MOTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INDEPENDENTLY SLOWED DOWN TO INTERMITTENT SPEED WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SET TO FULL SPEED. THE CONTACT CALLED GRAHAM VOLKSWAGEN (801 W 41ST ST, SIOUX FALLS, SD 57105) AND NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE.

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON TOP OF AN OVERPASS. FILE A CASE WITH VW AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. CASE NUMBER WAS [XXX]. WE WERE TRAVEL ON RT 13 IN VIRGINIA THROUGH A SMALL TOWN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS BEGINNING TO MERGE SOUTH ON I75 BUT PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE MY SPEED REACHED APPROX 50 MPH AND I WAS LESS THAN .2 MILES ON THE RAMP. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER WHEN I COULD SMELL AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE VENTS ON THE DASH. UPON EXITING THE CAR I SAW FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. WHILE I WAS GETTING MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR, A FEW MEN HAD STOPPED TO HELP WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, BUT THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE FIRE CHIEF THOUGHT THAT THE CAUSE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR SOME SOFT OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DO KNOW THAT I HAD NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR UNTIL JUNE 4TH. IT WAS A 2019 ;EASE THAT I HAVE BEEN LEASING LESS THAN A YEAR. THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I ROLLED IT OFF THE LOT. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/31 FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED CAUSING GLASS TO FALL IN ON MYSELF AND MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. *TR

NEW 2019 TIGUAN S 4MOTION PURCHASED IN FEB 2020 AND HAS ABOUT 8K MILES. ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH HARD SHIFTING (BOTH UP AND DOWN) AND HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHUG/STALL AND ALMOST CAUSE A CRASH 2 TIMES NOW BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE AFTER ABOUT HALF HOUR OF DRIVING. HARD DOWNSHIFT IS NORMALLY AROUND 20-30MPH AND UP SHIFT 30-40. NEVER JERKED BEFORE AND NOW IT'S HARD AND VERY UNSAFE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTENSE THROTTLE LAG. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I STOP BUT IT IS VERY EXCESSIVE WHEN ROLLING (10MPH) AND PRESS THROTTLE. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN AS IF I AM MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO PAUSE WHILE OTHER CARS ARE AROUND I FEEL IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2019 TIGUAN OWNERS AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. AND DOING MY RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN SOME DEALERSHIPS HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE WHILE OTHERS HAVEN'T.

VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY DIES UPON ENTERING TRAFFIC LOCALLY OR HIGHWAY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST THREE TIMES THEY'VE DENIED THE LAST REQUEST FOR A REVIEW BUT IT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE
