Description of the problem | Severe hesitation when trying to accelerate, most noticeable from a full or near stop. Pulling out quickly into moving traffic often results in moments of no acceleration at all. It can be frightening and potentially dangerous. A quick google search for "tiguan hesitation" brings up many complaints about this issue. Dealer is aware but says there is nothing that can be do as it is the nature of the transmission and engine. Vw america says thank you for the feedback and they will "keep an eye out for trends and report as needed." i believe that if not corrected this issue will result serious accidents and injuries. The date below is the last time i experienced the issue but has happened many times since leasing the car this past january 2019. |
