2024 Volkswagen Tiguan problems

“Screen went black on vehicle entertainment console and SOS emergency system failure being reported by vehicle dashboard indicators. Rear-view camera is unreliable and video feed freezes or fails to display. No power delivery to charging ports. Mobile Wifi Access point paid service is inaccessible. Already taken vehicle into dealership who alerted me of a backorder for a necessary replacement of the f5 module to remedy the issue with vehicle. I am a lessee with a warranty on this vehicle. Dealership says I just have to wait. Is this car now unsafe to drive?”

“The vehicle experienced a sudden, total loss of motive power while driving on active roads on two separate occasions (10/06/2026 and 10/18/2026). The vehicle completely shuts off without throwing any preliminary dashboard warnings, battery lights, or error messages. Once shut down, the ignition will not turn over and the engine refuses to start. The vehicle can only be temporarily revived via an external jumpstart, indicating that the engine is draining the battery entirely while in motion because the alternator or smart battery charging module is defective. During the second incident on 10/18/2026, the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy traffic intersection while stopping at a red light. My spouse and infant child were trapped in the vehicle for over two hours in an extremely high-risk crash zone before roadside help could arrive to jumpstart the vehicle. The local authorized Volkswagen dealership previously attempted to remedy the issue on 10/06/2026 by simply charging the battery for 24 hours, failing to find the root cause of the active electrical drainage and releasing an unsafe vehicle back into commerce. This is a severe, unpredictable stalling…”

“2024 VW Tiguan MIB3 module failed; dealership attempted software flash which completely disabled the federally mandated rear-view backup camera. Part is on national backorder with no ETA and VW Corporate refused assistance.”

“"The main infotainment screen completely failed and went black on my 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan, rendering the backup camera entirely inoperable. This creates a severe safety hazard and violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111. The vehicle was diagnosed at Keffer VW, and the manufacturer stated the replacement parts are backordered for 4 to 5 weeks. The dealership and manufacturer refused to provide a loaner vehicle, forcing me to leave the car on the dealer lot to avoid driving an unsafe vehicle. Volkswagen is failing to provide a safe remedy within a reasonable timeframe under warranty."”

“While you driving an annoying beep comes on with the message ‘Lane assist is not available’ The beep comes on then off for several times during the ride..it’s very disturbing and annoying for me and for my passengers..My vehicle which has 30000 miles is being used for Hire I consider this issue as a safety one and that the manufacturer has to take some action to solve the problem Thank you for your cooperation and looking forward to hearing from you soon Best regards”

“On multiple occasions, while actively steering, I have gotten a warning on the dash to take over steering. Within seconds, the car brakes hard. I am typically in interstate traffic when this occurs.This happens when using cruise control. Speed does not matter as it has happened at 40 mph, 70 mph, and in between these two.”
