Consumer Description

IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2010, 2011, AND 2012 TIGUANS. GAS ON THE SPARKPLUGS. THE TIMING CHAIN SENSOR GOES. THEN YOUR ENGINE IS LIKE A HOME RUN IN BASEBALL. ITS GOING GOING GONE!!!!! THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR I WENT HALFWAY ACROSS THE STATE AT 5 A.M. GOT HOME AT 11 A.M. AN HOUR LATER THE CAR DIED PERMANENTLY. THERE IS FOUR PAGES OF THIS HAPPENING. ON ARFC.ORG. THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP THAT GAVE MY CAR ITS LAST RITES SAID THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM FOR THOSE 3 YEARS AND WAS WONDERING WHY NO RECALLS. MY CAR HAD 115,00 MILES ON IT.
