NHTSA Complaint #11352943 — 2018 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN

THE VEHICLE SIGNIFICANTLY HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR OCCASINGLY SURGES UNDER HEAVIER THROTTLE PRESSURE WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR TO GET A RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM A DEAD STOP. THE VEHICLE WILL START TO GO THEN ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL THEN START TO MOVE. IT IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2018, BUT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE GETS MORE MILEAGE. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. PLEASE SEE LINK: HTTPS://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/VOLKSWAGEN/TIGUAN/2018/FUEL_SYSTEM/FUEL_PROPULSION_SYSTEM.SHTML
