| Serveral times while driving my suv many failure indicator lights indicating epc falure, tire monitoring system failure, license plate light not working, left turn signal not working, brakes lights do not light up, esc not functioning. trunk also will not unlock. it seemed like every system warning light this car has came on showing system failures. everytime this has happened my car loses power and barely wants to move or stalls all together having the automobiles behind me almost rear end my suv. this suv with these problems is a accident waiting to happen & someone if not me driving these suv's will get into an accident if vw doesn't find the right problem to correct this safety issue so many owners are having the same electrical problems i read online plus the ones who have filed a complaint already. | |||

| 2012 tiguan (~18,000 miles) has stalled at low mph four times. the check engine light came on one occasion but not the others. at each time the vehicle would restart after putting it in park. took it in to dealership and they could not find anything wrong, told me to make note of temp, mileage, gas level if it happened again. thankfully this only happened when other cars were not near enough to cause harm. *tr | |||

| I was making a right turn on a red light and the vehicle turned off almost mid turn, forcing an incoming car to swerve quickly to the next lane. this stalling has occurred about 4-5 times in a 6 month time lapse. mainly it has happened when i've been moving slow in traffic, going through speed bumps and local parking lots, but the most serious was the one i mentioned earlier. this is my second tiguan, the dealership had changed my first one because of the same issue, but now it's happening again with this one; both have been new and have had low mileage. the problem seems to occur when your traveling anywhere from 10-20 mph and all of a sudden it dies out and you have to turn it off and on again to start it. *tr | |||
