Description of the problem	Car lost power and lurched, engine light started flashing, car would not drive over 20-30 mph. Was able to pull car over off of 2-lane road. Could not start car. Had to have a tow. This is the second time that there has been a fuel injection system problem and the first happened almost a year ago. The fuel pump was "bad" according to the service department. Car was repaired, along with a replaced fuel injector (2nd time). Picked up car and proceeded to leave the dealer. Car was driving like a truck and would not go over 30 mph. Engine light repeatedly flashing, bad fumes in car. Was able to get out of traffic and turn around and make it back to the dealer. Today it's the coil. And "this is a fluke" and can happen at anytime. They are replacing the coil, but now when will the next one happen? This 2011 tiguan has had numerous fuel problems since i bought it. Also, i did experience the external lights recall issue and this was fixed earlier this year. Seems there is a lot wrong with this car and now i have no idea when the next issue will happen and where i will be when that happens!
