Consumer Description

Vehicle has hesitation during cold acceleration. If vehicle is started, pulled to end of short driveway, then go to accelerate onto road, vehicle hesitates and stumbles at times, not wanting to move properly and safely enter roadway. Tried accelerator pedal position reset and no change. This is a common VW Tiguan issue. No fix for it and dealer does not want to acknowledge that it exists. Simply looking on this site and a quick internet search will confirm it exists and is a common issue. And very well could be a significant safety issue when pulling into traffic. In addition, our tiguan also burns an excessive amount of engine oil with no repairs wanting to be made by VW and now has a p2402 code causing engine light to come on all the time. Numerous troubles that are adding up fast and no help or support from VW and its dealers.
