2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Seats Problems

Your car's emergency brake is activating and the engine is shutting off on its own while you're driving, particularly at red lights and while backing up. The dealership believes a faulty seat sensor may be incorrectly detecting that no one is in the driver's seat, even though you're sitting there. This creates a dangerous situation when the engine cuts off as traffic lights change, putting your car at risk of being hit from behind. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and replacing the faulty driver's seat occupancy sensor or related wiring.
