There are 3 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguanin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I was traveling down a road and my brake gave out, when i had it towed to the dealership they said the inside of the brake vacuume exploded???? I was driving with my daughter and we could not stop. I have never had brake issues with this car and we almost ended up being smashed in an intersection going downhill with no brakes I wrote to VW CEO and he never responded. They made me pay for this when it was not fair.
THE ROTORS SEEM TO BE GRABBING WHEN STOPPING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ALMOST 13000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED SHORTLY THERE AFTER. I THINK THAT IS TOO SOON FOR THIS SORT OF THING TO BEGIN.
WHILE BRAKING ON ROUGH OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATES AND THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. NORMAL BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED DURING INCIDENTS. ONLY HAPPING A FEW TIMES A DAY.
