Example complaints

“At around 60,000 miles my infotainment system started acting strange. The backup camera wouldn’t engage intermittently. After doing that for a couple months, it stopped working completely and is just a black screen. Several times randomly it has come on briefly to display the Welcome to VW message but will do nothing more than that. I have no back up display.”
NHTSA complaint #11743961, filed 2026-06“I got this car in 2024 and it burns through oil. I am constantly replacing the oil and have had to have the seals replaced a couple of times. Every 200 to 300 miles I have to put oil in it. It’s too new of a car for that. I know a lot of other owners have had issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11760563, filed 2026-08“The air conditioning in my Tiguan failed while I was driving from Michigan to Florida through Tennessee. I could hear the system running, but no air was coming out at all.The outside temperature was 94F and I had to drive with no AC with new (year and a half old)Tiguan !!!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11594616, filed 2024-06“My 22 Volkswagen Tiguan could very well be apart of the class action lawsuit that is happening right now with oil consumption issues my vehicle only has 45,000 miles and is consuming 1 quart of oil every 1200 miles started noticing oil loss back in July”
NHTSA complaint #11691755, filed 2025-10“The control panel for the sunroof, dome lights etc., suddenly fell down due to a failure of the plastic from the vehicle being parked in the sun. I almost lost control of the vehicle because of the item suddenly falling down and distracting me.”
