2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Transmission Problems

Your vehicle's transmission isn't shifting correctly—when parked on a slope, it rolls in the opposite direction from what you selected (moving forward when reverse is engaged, or backward when drive is selected). This has caused multiple near-collisions within two weeks of ownership, creating a serious safety risk. The issue occurs after a few minutes of driving and leaves no warning lights on your dashboard. Fixing this will likely require a complete transmission inspection and possibly transmission fluid replacement or internal transmission repair.

Your 2024 Tiguan unexpectedly lurches forward during normal acceleration and when the automatic start/stop feature restarts the engine, even when your foot position hasn't changed and your foot is on the brake. This has happened multiple times and created near-miss situations. A dealership technician was able to reproduce the problem during a test drive, but the issue persists even after a factory reset, suggesting a potential defect in the fuel or engine control system.
