| Description of the problem | The plastic oil pan at the bottom of the engine of my 2019 volkswagen tiguan 2. 0t started leaking while i was on the highway, nearly stranding my family. It was very disappointing to see any vehicle using a fragile, unprotected plastic oil pan at the bottom of the engine, especially the tiguan, which is marketed as a sport utility vehicle. |
