| On june 13, 2008 i was traveling west bound on a typical south florida day, very hot and humid clear day. just then a pick-up truck put out very fast in front of me. i slammed on my brakes with plenty of time to stop, but just before i came to a complete stop, the engine roared and i hit the truck very hard. at first i thought my foot slipped off the brake to the gas, but no way, i broke my foot because i hit the brake so hard. my question is this,is there a known problem with this newcar? *tr | |||

| The driveshaft bolts stripped on my 2009 vw tiguan when my wife was driving the vehicle at 30 mph. she managed to slowly drive the vehicle back home. after inspection, it became clear to me that the driveshaft was rubbing against the under body and the vehicle was not in a drivable condition. i had to call vw roadside assistance and had to flatbed it to local vw dealership in reno. it seems like the drive shaft bolts have not been torqued to spec before the vehicle left the factory. i am upset that some thing so critical like driveshaft torque has not been checked and the vehicle not pdi-ed before i got the keys. the replacement driveshaft and bolts are on red-order. *tr | |||
