| Description of the problem | I purchased my tiguan se 4motion in july 2018 and since i have owned the vehicle i have had issues with the acceleration and noise coming from the passenger side b pillar. The acceleration feels like a turbo lag from the start where the gas pedal is pressed but the vehicle hesitates to respond causing a small "stall". This happens in both drive and sport modes. When accelerating up-hill the vehicle has issues with finding the proper gear and constantly searches for a gear to settle on. The b pillar noise sounds like loud clicking when going over bumps and ruts in the road and even makes a noise when opening the door to its fullest. |
