2018 Volkswagen TIGUAN Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1511370
Internal NHTSA #	11149569
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TIGUAN
Model Year	2018
File date	05/11/18
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlight sensitivity when in auto mode is super sensitive. Headlights automatically turn on and off depending on orientation to sun and whether briefly in shade such as driving under a bridge or under trees for even a few seconds. All exterior lights become activated and de-activated by the auto system causing other drivers to misinterpret what the car is doing (i. E. Braking) which may lead to an accident. No method of adjusting auto on sensitivity or delay is provided in this particular car. I noticed this because my android auto navigation kept switching from night mode to daylight mode. This caused me to check the headlight on indicator light which matched the status of the nav system.
