Description of the problem	The drivers side b pillar consistantly makes agressive and loud cracking noises when driving the vehicle. I have initiated a lemon law suit with volkswagen. The vehicle has been to the dealer three times and the concern has not yet been rectified. Additionally the drivers side b piller flexes and cracks when the rear drivers side door is opened (the door is attached to this pillar). The second dealership was able to replicate the noise was was very concerned. The service director told me that previous tiguan models had concerns with insufficient welding which has been documented on safercar. Gov. It is also documented in multiple forums. The service ticket indicates that excess welding slag was discovered behind the headliner and curtain airbag. The dealer said that this should not be here. I'm very concerned about the welding integrity of the vehicle. The car makes violent cracking noises during any body flex. I'm extremely concerned about the safety of my vehicle and my overall well being. In the event of a side impact or general impact do not believe that the car will adequately protect me and i could be subject to serious bodily harm. Volkswagen refuses to respond or assist me in any way. The company is not concerned about their consumers as clearly evident in their most recent scandal in which they defrauded the government and consumer with false epa ratings which they knowingly concealed. In interest of the general public's safety please launch an investigation in to this vehicle so that lives can be saved.
