[XXX], XXX  Volkswagen America Volkswagen Customer CARE 3800 Hamlin Road Auburn Hills, MI 48326-2829  Reference: VW Tiguan 2026. Dashboard reflection on both lateral mirrors creates a Hazardous Visual Obstruction.  Dear all, Iâm a loyal client with my second lease with Volkswagen. Few weeks ago, me and my wife leased two Tiguan SE R Line Black 2026, the vehicles are great, however there is manufacture or design issue that I would like to share with you, since this issue could end in a fatal accident.  The silver or chrome dashboard is reflected to the side mirrors (pictures attached), creating an obstruction to see the vehicles behind by the time to turn left or right. Dashboard reflections often caused by sunlight or bright streetlights can blind drivers, can create a hazardous visual illusion or hazy obstruction significantly increasing the risk of an accident. We do not feel safe at all with this condition, and it bothers a lot since the reflects not only blind sight when trying to see vehicles behind, but definitely this is something Volkswagen should solve, not only for us but all drivers using this vehicle, just to prevent an accident. (see the pictures below). Please let us know what options we have here.  Thks and best regards   INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2026 VISIBILITY/WIPER

I am experiencing a serious safety issue with my 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan. While the vehicle is in motionâeither moving forward or in reverseâit will unexpectedly shift itself into PARK and engage the electronic parking brake. This has occurred several dozen times and creates an extremely dangerous situation, increasing the risk of a collision, injury, or other catastrophic accident. The Volkswagen dealership is aware of the issue and has observed or documented the concern, but I do not believe the matter is being addressed with the level of urgency warranted by the potential safety risk. Given the severity and frequency of these incidents, I am requesting immediate escalation and investigation to prevent a potentially serious accident.

VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2026 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

I'm filing an urgent safety complaint regarding a series of severe defects in my 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan (VIN: [XXX]) that pose immediate, life-threatening hazards.   On XXX, I took delivery of the vehicle, which was refueled by the dealership. By XXX, with temperatures soaring to 104Â°F, I encountered three critical issues:  1. **Engine Stall During Low-Speed Turn**: While turning at 2 MPH, the engine shut off without warning, losing power steering and brakes, and displaying a message to "manually restart the engine."     2. **Engine Stall While Reversing**: The engine stalled again while reversing into a parking spot, triggering the same emergency warning.  3. **Structural Window Seal Failure**: At 55 MPH, the driver-side window seal tore away, becoming a projectile that struck the passenger-side window, creating a severe distraction and road hazard.  Despite reporting the engine stalling issues to the dealership, the service manager didnât open a formal Repair Order, citing the stalling as "intermittent."   On July 5, while attempting to refuel with half a tank, gasoline violently sprayed from the rear undercarriage, indicating a catastrophic failure of the fuel tank venting system.  These incidents within 72 hours of delivery highlight systemic manufacturing and quality control failures. I have had the car towed back to the dealership via flatbed tow and the Volkswagen roadside assistance representative assisted with this transaction.  I urge the NHTSA to investigate the fuel tank venting mechanisms, engine management software, and exterior seals of the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan. Immediate action is necessary to quarantine this VIN ([XXX]) and assess potential safety recalls or stop-sales.

VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2026 BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

My spare key fab caught on fire in my house while I was at work. The fire had the opportunity to spread soot throughout the kitchen as well as ruin my overhead microwave with the smoke getting in the vents. Luckily my grandmother and a friend went to my house to let my dog out at just the right moment and was able to remove the dish the key was in and take it outside before it spread to the house. I called the fire department and the fire marshal conducted an inspection and determined that based on his findings, the key ignited itself.
