Used 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Consumer Reviews
Major Technology Issues
Major technology problems! Horrible VW Customer Service. The mechanics in this car leaves something to be desired. The infotainment system often doesn't work at all- it freezes, it locks up, and no sound will play from the speakers. I've taken the car in for repairs at least 4 times in the first 6 months of purchase! , and yet the infotainment system continues to malfunction. There's a known recall on the infotainment system. The brakes are extremely slow to react. Ultimately, I end up hard braking quite often. I worry I could potentially rear-end someone. In addition, there have been times I've attempted to switch the car into reverse. The car locks up, and won't move once you put your foot on the gas pedal. Also, something to note: Volkswagen will not give you a loaner vehicle if they need to keep your car in their shop for any malfunction. Sometimes they'll have car rentals available for purchase. However, if service needs to keep your car for an extended period, you'll be stuck without a vehicle (regardless if the issue is a manufacturing defect). This was our 3rd VW in 10 years and will never buy another

Annoying
Since I picked up my 2022 Tiquan Highline i have had multiple issues: (1) the audio system totally cuts out (turning the car off/on at a stop light sometimes brings it back). (2) the most annoying issue is the notification that my "Travel Assist currently not available" with amber triangle icons and alert rings every few minutes (its like driving without your seatbelt notifications). Service has no solution and tells me for the past 6 months that a system software update is coming that will correct the problem with the infotainment system (3) the start/stop system hesitates when starting (keep that feature turned off). Passengers express concerns with the amount of false notifications and I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to sell off this car !!!

My worst car buy ever
At age 64 I have owned many cars but this one was the first time I was so frustrated that I sold it after 3 months. Car drove acceptably - not great. Ok on the highway, but when it is cold, or at low speed, the engine stops/bucks as you try to accelerate. Not fun in an intersection. But worse is that in three months I had three major repair issues that kept it at the dealership multiple days. I didn't buy a new car to have to hassle with getting rentals just to get to work and back. 3 major repairs in 3 months - 3 strikes and VW is out. My worst car buy ever.

Great suv
I test drove numerous SUVs, Nissan Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, etc. none of them have the acceleration or handling like the Volkswagen Tiguan. I have the SE model with all the options, rain sensing wipers, heated seats, rear camera, rear sensors, front crash protection, Blindspot, monitor, leather seats, etc. handles great and is torquey. Gets excellent gas mileage I’ve gotten over 30 miles per gallon on the highway. This is my third Tiguan and never had any issues with them.

High class low budget
I thought I wouldn’t like this car going from a Traverse but I actually love it. I have a pano sunroof all the nice features like Apple car play, lane assist, heated seats, third row, and rain sensing windshield wipers!!! Downfall to my specific Tiguan is I don’t have the blind spot monitor but i never really used them before I’m in the habit of always checking them! My Traverse had cameras ALL over this doesn’t but again didn’t use that much either. The one big downfall I did use and will look into installing is the power lift gate for the trunk. I hate this doesn’t have it in my Tiguan! Other than that it’s really nice. Smaller adult can fit in the third row 5’5 😂. The pick up is great for an SUV even has a “sport” mode.
