Owner Complaints (4)
Your 2014 Tiguan is experiencing multiple serious issues: carbon buildup is causing the engine to stall and shake, the heater core is restricted and overheating (creating a potential fire risk), spark plugs may have been replaced unnecessarily due to a computer misdiagnosis, and oil is leaking from bad seals and hoses with a burning oil smell. These problems have been misdiagnosed several times and pose safety concerns. Repairs will likely involve cleaning carbon deposits from the engine, replacing the heater core, diagnosing the computer system, and replacing faulty seals and hoses.

Your sunroof is leaking water into the cabin on the passenger side, causing water to pool on the floor and potentially reach passengers. The dealer cleaned the clogged drainage system, but the problem returned shortly after. Your car becomes undrivable during rain, and the dealer hasn't provided a permanent fix. The repair will likely involve inspecting and clearing the sunroof drainage system, sealing any gaps around the sunroof frame, or potentially replacing the sunroof assembly.

Your panoramic sunroof has a faulty sealant that's allowing water to leak into your vehicle, which has caused mold to grow inside. The sunroof itself works fine, but the dealer says this is a known problem for your model year and warns that replacing it costs $6,000+ with no guarantee it won't happen again. You've been breathing moldy air, which poses a health and safety risk. Fixing this would require replacing the sunroof seal or the entire sunroof assembly.
