Consumer Description

Like many other complaints, for the second time now an error appeared having to do with 40000 RPM. Acceleration is impossible and the car shakes. We had this replaced for the first time in 2019 on our model year 2018 Tiguan and now need it replaced again. The car is undriveable, unsafe for its passengers and others on the roadway when it suddenly decelerates and won't resume speed. Both times this happened on the highway. There was no advance warning lamp or messages prior to the failure.
