Have had to many maintenance problems to have to be fixed at tremendous cost. Have spent $10-13,000 on repairs and that does not include repairs made while under warranty. Will never have another VW of any kind.!
What's up with the brakes?

I owned my car for 3 months and the brakes started squeaking. Took it to dealer who says brakes had a little dust and they clean them. One month later same and worse. Rain, early morning worst, but sunshine too. I'm simply embarrassed that I drive a new car with less than 10,000 miles that screams like it needs a serious brake job, that's dust? Never had any stopping problems and love the car otherwise. More later when dealer looks at the car again. Not too happy right now.

I came from a Land Rover LR3 to a 2009 Tiguan. Love the same features of the Land Rover, but disappointed about the room inside. I have (2) dogs and cannot fit much else except them. Also cannot get over the fact there are no armrests in the middle, having to use the console seems odd. Also just ran over a nail on one of the tires and have to have it replaced. The 18" Pirelli's that are on the Tiguan are on national backorder - odd sized tire as well. Not sure if they are good snow tires from what I have researched on the Pirelli website. Gas mileage not what I expected, only averaging 21 mpg on the highway. Overall not quite sure I made the best choice. Should have stayed in my LR3

after 3900 miles, my EPC warning light appeared on the dash. Acceleration was lost and the car sporadically regained power, only to lose it again. A few days later the Engine Malfunction icon also appeared. The car is now destined for a few days in the shop.
Abusive relationship

Don't get involved with a 2009 Tiguan. My wife and I bought one used from a dealer as a lease return with low mileage in 2012. We loved the styling, sportiness, and gas mileage. But it was very unreliable due to different things. The electric parking brake stuck while engaged and would not release. Weeks in the shop while a technician from Germany came here to replace the wiring harness. "We've never seen that before." was the common response. A broken fuel was spraying gasoline over the engine at one point not long after it had been in for repair. In the last 6 months, we replaced the struts in the front, replaced the blower motor (2nd time) and the entire heater box assembly, and had the exhaust valve manifold cleaned due to carbon buildup. Then, the timing chain skips and it's 7K to replace the engine using a used one that has almost the 146,000 miles on it that ours had. Very hard to walk away from this car, but sold it to a junk yard. Couldn't see spending more money on a car that wasn't paid for because of all the repair bills because something else WILL go bad on it. We were hoping to put another 100K miles on it but that just won't happen. Will NEVER buy another Volkswagen.
