Description of the problem | My wife and i were driving in our tiguan with our 7 month old and 3 year old in the back. We were driving approximately 35-40mph on a residential street during the day with good visibility. As we approached a metal plate over the road (for a road construction project) the tiguan's "front assist" system caused the car to nearly skid to a stop. The car behind us luckily did not rear end us but had we been going faster and the car behind us had been following closer, the outcome would have been much worse. This is a worrying problem because the metal plate was no more than an inch higher than the pavement and is a very standard thing to see in construction sites. It should not have caused the front assist to activate. |
