Description of the problem | Tiguan 2018 hesitates to accelerate with a lapse of a few (3 or 4) second before the car finally accelerates after a full stop or from slow speeds. This issue tends to be constant and can be extremely dangerous as it happens when trying to pull from a busy intersection or from any other situation where you need to move quick , its a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt if vw doesn't come up with a resolution. Im now on my second service apointment within a month. Seems to be a known issue with this model very frustrating!!!!! |
