| Description of the problem | Car stalled while moving. After driving for 30 minutes i parked the car for 20 minutes and when pulling out of the parking space the car completely died. I put the car in park, turned the key and there was not a sound. I took out the key and reinserted and the car started. The identical situation occurred 11 days later. Took the tiguan to vw. They said they could find nothing wrong with it and to keep them posted. Looking at forums the consensus is there is a problem in the fuel pump area but vw is hesitant to replace them. There are multiple reports of the same stalling issue from other 2012 tiguan owners. |
