NHTSA Complaint #10553299 — 2011 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN

MY 2011 TIGUAN IS ERRONEOUSLY AND INTERMITTENTLY REPORTING THAT LAMPS ARE OUT. I WENT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A MELTED FUSE BOX. I HAVE BEEN ON A LOT OF FORUM ONLINE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FINDING AMONG VW OWNERS,MORE SO TIGUAN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY VWOFA HAS NOT LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AS YET. MY BRAKE LIGHTS, MY TAIL LIGHTS, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ALL OUT. THE IDEA THAT A FUSE BOX COULD BE MELTING UNDER THE HOOD IS QUITE DISTURBING. VW SHOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THAT 3/36K MILES WARRANTY THAT WOULD POSSIBLY COVER IT, DOES NOT CUT IT, CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND 40K MILES. *TR
