Description of the problem	My 2011 tiguan is erroneously and intermittently reporting that lamps are out. I went to the auto repair shop, and was told that it was caused by a melted fuse box. I have been on a lot of forum online, and it seems to be a common finding among vw owners,more so tiguan. I do not understand why vwofa has not looked into the issue as yet. My brake lights, my tail lights, my headlights are all out. The idea that a fuse box could be melting under the hood is quite disturbing. Vw should look into the matter as soon as possible, because that 3/36k miles warranty that would possibly cover it, does not cut it, considering that this issue usually happens around 40k miles.
