Description of the problem	2009 tiguan electrical problem - was driving in normal highway traffic during rush hour (average speed about 15mph) after moving a little i applied the breaks normally and as soon as the pedal was press the brake light came on with a loud beep. Electronic break was not touched nor the "auto hold" feature was engage. Vehicle appear to work properly but during the next 3 remaining miles more warning lights started to come on and stayed on. Brake light first, then airbag failure, then abs, the esc, power steering... After arriving home safely turned the car off and on, when turned on more warning lights came on and even one front headlight burned out (headlight could had been a coincidence but i will never know) took car to dealer and they said that a sensor was malfunctioning, they replace the sensor along with some other things. Since then the car has been working fine but seems that something is not quite right. Sometimes, windows and sunroof won't open or close unless car is turned off and back on, sometimes the lights won't come on when door is opened - seems like the car is completely dead when that happens but it starts normally. Abs seem to engage in circumstance that it shouldn't. Have taken it to the dealer a few times after that and they said the car is performing normally and they cannot see any problems with it, but i'm concern the car might fail any moment.
