NHTSA Complaint #11056166 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 17 MILES AND CUTTING THE CAR OFF AND THEN GETTING BACK INTO IT AFTER ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES TO START UP , THE CAR STARTED AND CUT OFF. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT CUT OFF. SO I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AND IT STAYED ON LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET HOME SAFELY. AFTER THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS OFTEN. MORE FREQUENT TO THE POINT OF ME BE SCARED TO GO ANYWHERE FAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY DURING THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED. IF I GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANT AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THEN COME BACK TO IT AND TURN IT ON SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL AND I TRY TO GIVE IT GAS THINKING THAT WILL KEEP IT ON. BUT IT DOESN'T . I HAVE LEARNED TO LET IT SIT AND TRY IT AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW AND WANTS TO KEEP IT FOR DAYS. UNTIL I FOUND THIS RECALL WHICH SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING I WAS WONDERING IF IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.
