Description of the problem	My 2010 tiguan has experienced a couple of significant issues due to design - one a burned fuse box and two a major water leak inside the right front passenger floorboard. Both issues stem from design and not wear and tear. Both repairs were costly - $561 and $753. I have received a safety recall 97z9 from vw for a fuse issue and will be waiting on a response. I've also submitted an inquiry to vw asking about plans to review the drain hose issue. Had i not investigated the strong damp smell in the interior of the vehicle i would not have found the saturated floorboard and i do mean soaking wet. Both drain hoses were found to have small leaks and the route of the hoses dumps right into the cabin - again this is not a wear and tear issue - it's a design/product issue. As a precaution the dealer recommended that i have all of the hoses replaced to prevent future water damage. I've seen numerous complaints from other vw owners about the drain hoses being defective so this appears to be a larger issue than just a few vehicles. Thank you.
