Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driveshaft bolts stripped on my 2009 vw tiguan when my wife was driving the vehicle at 30 mph. She managed to slowly drive the vehicle back home. After inspection, it became clear to me that the driveshaft was rubbing against the under body and the vehicle was not in a drivable condition. I had to call vw roadside assistance and had to flatbed it to local vw dealership in reno. It seems like the drive shaft bolts have not been torqued to spec before the vehicle left the factory. I am upset that some thing so critical like driveshaft torque has not been checked and the vehicle not pdi-ed before i got the keys. The replacement driveshaft and bolts are on red-order.
