| Description of the problem | Ticking in the b pillar. It comes and goes but is loud enough that all passengers in the car hear it. It is identical to the rattle that all other tiguans have. Vw has a service bulletin for this issue but it has a narrow vin range. There is most certainly a structural concern and inherent design flaw in the b pillar. Tsb # 2050753/2 |
