2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Other Problems

Your car's door locks and trunk became unresponsive, trapping your child inside during hot weather for 20-30 minutes until emergency responders forced the door open. The keys were inside the vehicle, and the external unlock mechanisms on all doors failed to function. While the dealership found no mechanical defect after inspection, this locking malfunction created a serious safety risk by preventing emergency exit.

My Tiguan has a feature called Auto Unlock. All four doors & the back lift gate are automatically unlocked when the car is put into park or the ignition is turned off. Anytime I pull into a parking lot, park on the street or even pull over to look at my phone the car unlocks. When I am concentrating on driving and parking safely I should not have to worry that all the doors are unlocked This option makes me feels unsafe driving my car - anybody can access any door & get in to the car &/or grab something from the car. How can this be considered a safety feature? It makes me feel so unsafe - I should not feel any trepidation when driving my car. In this era of car hijackings & theft - this is a feature that should be optional. I should be able to turn it off. I have researched how to disable this feature & it is not possible. Please let me know if the NHTSA can help me, & countless others who have this option on their cars, to feel safe when driving my car. I look forward to hearing a response.

I am a passenger of a Volkswagen Tiguan and the owner ran into a store to pick something up and the vehicle shuts off, even when the keys are present in 80 degree weather. While it shouldn’t happen, what would happen if there were children present and an absent minded parent didn’t realize that the car would shut down and cook and kill their children?

The rear view camera only works half of the time and gives and error the camera is not available at this time. There was a recall but the VIN on this car was not included The transmissions revs high before shifting at times and at time when not pressing the gas, coasting downhill No check engine or warning lights come on Both issues have been recurring over the last couple of months

When you need the navigation the screen will go black or keep buffering. Radio will not stay connected to my phone. Phone calls are very slow.

Driver side door randomly opens while driving! Then when the car detects the door is open it puts itself in park while driving no matter what speed you are going. Ive had this car for 2 months it has less than 1000 miles. Once home I finally inspected the latch area on the car side and the door and both areas were extremely hot. This is very much a safety issue!

Since purchase, this vehicle has an SOS error that disables the SOS emergency assistance and communication functions. It has been back to the dealer twice and they are unable to repair. The manager has told be that VW is aware but there is no fix at this time. I suspect this disables crash detection and emergency functions as well.

The car has built in NAV. It loses location. I was traveling in traffic in an unknown area. Nav started prompting to turn where there is no road. Looked at the screen, I was nowhere near the location showing. It was randomly moving to different locations. The dealer said it was a known issue and they have no fix. They are waiting for an update but no ETA on it. They have been saying this for years by my research. No warning lamps or errors show up. It poses a safety concern as it can tell you to turn down streets that are incorrect in traffic which is dangerous.
