VW TECHNICAL PROS DID WORK... @ AUDI PENSACOLA (SONIC AUTO GROUP) . CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEM FIXED IN 2016. STILL FAILED. GOT INTO CAR IN AM AND IT WOULD RUN FOR 2 SECONDS AND QUIT. CALLED SERVICE TECH FOR GUIDANCE.. SAID GET TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT IN TO AUDI PENSACOLA FOR EXAM. CAR CAUGHT FIRE IN DRIVEWAY THANKFULLY OUT FROM UNDER CARPORT. FIRE DEPT ARRIVED JUST IN TIME TO SAVE MY HOUSE FROM BEING TOTALLY INVOLVED. SEE ATTACHMENTS OF REPAIR BILL AND PIX OF FIRE. MORE AVAILABLE

HARD STARTING 1ST THING AM.... SEEMS TO RUN OK AFTERWARD. VW SERIVCE TECH SAYS REAR FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR BAD..CAUSING ENGINE SPEED SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION. CAR STALLED ON FWAY TWICE TOO...

THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE GAS DOOR STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND THE DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED WITH THE DOOR POPPED OPEN THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. IF THE DOOR ISN'T POPPED OPEN THEN IT'S LOCKED SHUT AND CAN'T BE OPENED NORMALLY AND MUST BE PRIED OPEN. *TR

I WONDER WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE RE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V441000. MY 2013 VW TIGUAN DIED WHILE TRAVERSING A SLIGHT INCLINE IN AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CARS WERE PRESENT. VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO VW DEALERSHIP. WORK ORDER FAILED TO MENTION THAT AUTO DIED, INSTEAD SERVICE ADVISOR WROTE THE FOLLOWING: "CK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TECH(S): 8563 WARRANTY. CUSTOMER STATES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SCANNED FOR TROUBLE CODES. RAN GFFAULT P0192 FUEL RAIL PRESSURE INTERMITTENT. PERFORMED TEST PLAN, CHECKED FUEL PRESSURES, ALL WITHIN SPECS. CLEARED CODES, RETESTED IN AM OPERATING TO SPECS, POSSIBLE FUEL LEVEL WAS TOO LOW IN FUEL TANK, BUT VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY OPERATING TO SPECS." THE INSTRUMENT PANEL READ RANGE: 85 MILES, WHICH, IN MY OPINION, DISCREDITS THE CONJECTURE THAT THE FUEL LEVEL IN FUEL TANK WAS TOO LOW. IS THERE A WAY TO FACILITATE RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE? IF SO PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

AFTER TURNING MOTOR ON, AND BACKING UP, THE CAR IS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE,. ON 4 OCCASIONS NOW I HAVE HAD TO RESTART THE CAR AND TRY AGAIN. THE ACCELERATOR SEEMS PROGRESSIVELY UNRESPONSIVE. YESTERDAY, THE CAR STAYED IN GEAR, AND ON LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN DIED. I HAD TO RESTART WHILE VEHICLES DROVE AROUND ME. THANKFULLY IT WAS A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I'M VERY WORRIED NOW TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT COULD HAPPEN IN A BUSIER ENVIRONMENT AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CHECKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO HAVE OCCURRED TO OTHER VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN OWNERS OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, BUT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM OR CHANGED OUT THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER GM RECALL I AM VERY CONCERNED. *TR

VEHICLE CUT OUT, AND ENGINE DIED. SOMETIMES THE EPC LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, OTHER TIMES IT IS SIMPLY A LOSS OF POWER AND THEN ENGINE CUT OFF. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. OFTEN DURING ACCELERATION INTO TRAFFIC. *TR
