Description of the problem	I purchased a 2018 volkswagen tiguan sel on saturday, 02/10/2018. Two days later on 02/12/18 on my commute to work i began hearing a "popping" noise from the b-pilars on both the driver's and passenger's side pilars. As if though something was loose inside there. I made an appointment to take the vehicle back to the dealer the following saturday, 02/17/2018 and when i went in for the appointment the service representative informed me they would not be able to look at my vehicle until the following monday. I asked him if they could provide me with a loaner so that i could leave my car there and he informed me that he could not make that decision. I looked for my sales agent and he was able to provide me a loaner (2018 tiguan se). I received a call from the service rep on wednesday, 02/21/18 telling me that my vehicle was ready for pick up. I went to pick it up and they informed me they had changed out a defective seat belt height adjuster on driver side. I took the car for a ride and it still made the noise. So i did not accept it. They loaned me a different car (2018 passat r) and was told they would work on my vehicle. They called me again on saturday, 02/24/18 to tell me my car was ready. When i went to the dealer on monday, 02/26/18 (i was out of town on saturday), they told me they had changed the seat belt seat adjuster for the passenger side too. I took it for a ride and the noise was still there on both sides. Again, i did not take possession of my car. They told me they would have to dismantle the headliner to get a better grasp of the problem. I was called again on friday, 03/02/18 to inform me that they were going to have to bring a specialist from vw (in approximately 2 weeks from 03/02/18) to diagnose the problem before taking more invasive actions. They loaned me a third car (2018 vw tiguan sel) and no concrete answer on my vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
