Replying to: praz (Jun 11, 2008 8:12 am) Thank you!   "However, to minimize the possibility of an engine surge, do not operate the air-conditioning in your vehicle until the recall work has been performed"   Right on time for the summer. Looks like it's just a software fix. So hopefully they'll get it right the first time around. For the hesitation problem on the 3.6L engine on my Passat, it took 2 tries and about a year.
#116 of 127 Too Much $$$$$ by corkdork Jun 18, 2008 (12:24 pm)
Replying to: verdugo (Jun 11, 2008 6:31 am) The Tiguan has been in Dallas for about a month now. I test drove one and it was a peppy little ride and handled great. Very nice interior, but I didn't care for the cloth seats. I haven't been able to find one with leather yet, but if any of my other German cars is an indication, the leather appointments will be first rate.   I've never been this excited about a new car in awhile, but the price may be a deal breaker. $30K plus for this ride and not so good fuel economy ( not to mention specing premium fuel) may have me looking at the Nissan Rogue. As sexy and sweet as this crossover is, I'm determined to stay in the mid to high $20K range. The first model year blues also has me a bit worried as well.

There is no Lemon Law in Oregon, so if you get a dud, you have a dud.   It'll be interesting to see how the AWD version of the Tiguan stacks up against the RAV4 V6 AWD and the '09 Forester XT. Perhaps the Outlander V6 should be compared as well?
#118 of 127 Tiguan Owners Club's Got a Secret! by xinnek Jun 22, 2008 (2:28 pm)
FastFreddie is making another "SECRETS" article on the Tiguan at TiguanOwnersClub.com Freddie did the same thing on vwvortex with the passat and to date has over 50,000 views. He did the Rabbit last year on Rabbit owners club and and the GTI on myfastgti.com and both were extremely popular. This guy has some really cool things he comes up with that most owners never know. you gotta check it out.

Replying to: praz (Jun 11, 2008 8:12 am) Hmmmmm..... More Exxxxxd's propaganda? Funny, I called the NHTSA and they said it was not government issued. that VW is voluntarily doing a compaign to fix they problem. Though the line has been blurred in recent years, companies like Toyota, who claims to have never had a recall (they do campaigns just like VW is doing on the TIguan) would have a cow if you suggested that they had a RECALL.

Replying to: xinnek (Jun 22, 2008 2:40 pm) The NHTSA does not have to issue the recall. The mfgr does. If the mfgr sees a reason to stop delivery or "recall" sold vehicles to fix a problem, it is still a recall. They only need to be reported to the NHTSA if it is safety related.   This is exactly what VW did. They stopped new Tiguan deliveries, and called back sold units to fix an issue.   Toyota has openly admitted in recent years to numerous recalls in many of their vehicles. However, to be fair to every mfrg, a recall is not a judge on reliability. It really means the mfgr is admitting to a problem, and is willing to make it right. They are only reported to the NHTSA when it involves an issue with safety.
#122 of 127 Finally ordered one!!! by mpg7 Jul 12, 2008 (4:00 pm)
After much looking and pondering I finally ordered a Tiguan. Don't know when or if I am actually going to get it since there is still no word on when they will build the 6 spd manual version. But at least the dealer is going to try to put in the order. Grey w/charcoal, i-pod, monster mats (i think that's what they're called), trailer hitch (for bike rack), aftermarket tint and I'm thinking of adding aftermarket wheels (Tirerack, perhaps). Wish I could get the HUGE sunroof on the manual version.....anyway, pretty darn excited to be upgrading to 200 turbocharged ponies from my 95 Pathfinder (150hp and heavy- thirsty too!) $450 over invoice with no haggling...I may try to get a few dealer accesories, mats perhaps, gratis. If not, still seems like a very, very nice car for $23k.
#123 of 127 Tiguan with Navi by rv65 Jul 30, 2008 (8:06 pm)
Navi equipped Tiguans are now available. The new navigation is a touch screen unit and has a hard drive to store the maps and music. It even has Sirius Traffic info which is awesome. You just load the maps in once unless you need an update. By loading the maps on to the hard drive you can free up the CD/DVD drive. It even comes with an advanced iPod adaptor. Part number for the iPod cable is 000 051 446 C. It has HDRadio and Sirius radio as well. Really nice system that is just coming out to the USA.
#124 of 127 Tiguan top rated by IIHS by kurtamaxxxguy Aug 20, 2008 (6:43 am)
It appears as far as IIHS testing goes, the 2009 Tiguan is the best C-SUV in surviving crashes (front, side and rear). Add in the recent CU review and this vehicle seems like a winner.   Now if only the reliability for it proves good, and VW fixes up their NW dealer network (pretty ragged at moment) Replies to this message: rv65 (Aug 24, 2008 3:07 pm)
