2010 Volkswagen TIGUAN Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1047588
Internal NHTSA #	10572666
Manufacurer	Volkswagen of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TIGUAN
Model Year	2010
File date	28/02/14
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The engine is shutting off/stalling without any warning, this has happened a few times. Each time the symptoms are the same, after driving for about an hour the car is parked and left for one or two hours. When it is restarted it runs for about 30 seconds and then shuts off with no warning, the car can be moving at the time or stationary and still in park, either way the engine can be restarted but may shut down for a second time after another 30 seconds. So far it has not required more than one restart, there are no fault codes which may indicate a fuel or electrical issue. I have researched this and it appears to be a common issue with the tiguan. My concern is that the car may be involved in an accident as you have to wait for the car to come to a complete stop then select park and restart the engine, you can then put it back into drive before you can pull away again,and repeat if it happens a second time.
