| Description of the problem | 2010 vw tiguan, with repeated engine failures associated with power steering module, boost solenoid / engine coils, wiring harness, fuse re-call, loss of power / thrust / electrical panel instability, beginning in july 2013 upon the limited wolfsburg platform. Service was provided by a vw dealership, 16 days prior to the august 2013 accident. The car was not returned to me until october 1, 2013. (almost 8 weeks) a rental car was applied, but there was significant out of pocket expense for taxes / fee's for a 2 month rental. The vw upon return oct 1, 2013 then broke down again on oct 9th, for electrical failure again. The car was towed back to vw dealership for repair. I was given a complimentary loaner car. The vw was then returned and then ran without significant incident until march 16th, of which the engine failed for engine coils, and was towed back to the vw dealership for service, the car then experienced another electrical mechanical failure on 3/25, resulting in a 2nd front end collision. I received a not at fault decision on the first accident, per the commonwealth of ma. |
