“When I start my car I get a warning saying multiple lights (I.e. Headlight,taillight,fog lights) are burnt out. The affected light eventually turns on. The fuse for my lights was blown and scorched and my local dealer said it was a faulty fuse box which is the same box from the tiguan which has already been recalled.”

“I was driving on the freeway mesa,az at the rate of speed 72 MPH and the car just shut off, I put it in neutral and coasted through traffic, I was able to get it from the fast lane to shoulder, my heart was racing, I put the car in park try to start it didn't start for a few minutes, drove home few miles away.

“We purchased and we were servicing our vw GTI 2010 at autobarn mt. Prospect/il. In the last 2 years we replaced all ignition coils at different time intervals and twice for cylinder #2.

“This is a low mileage (31,000) vehicle. Unexpected, complete failure of radio, cd, navigation system, bluetooth hands-free communication... Everything went dead. Vw dealer check fuses and radio fuse and said that they were ok. Radio and all functions associated with radio dead and not working. Will not turn on. Why is this a safety issue? Because of the hands-free, bluetooth phone capabilities no longer work. Very dangerous. Plus navigation doesn't work.”
