Common Problem
Electrical and Electronic Issues
The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan has been reported to have several electrical issues. Some users have experienced problems with the AC control panel flickering or going haywire, requiring replacement of the control board. Other electronic issues include random failures of the video console and Bluetooth microphone. Additionally, there are reports of the infotainment system going black or rebooting randomly, which some users have attributed to a need for updates.
Start-Stop System Malfunctions
Several owners have reported issues with the start-stop system, where the car occasionally fails to restart after idling at a stop. This problem is often intermittent, making it difficult for dealerships to reproduce and diagnose. Some users suggest turning off the start-stop function entirely to avoid this issue.
Oil Consumption
There are reports of the Tiguan burning oil prematurely, even at relatively low mileage. One user reported their oil level light coming on at just 6,000 miles , while others noticed significant oil consumption after replacing parts like the PCV valve. This issue seems to be more common in Volkswagens with turbo engines, although excessive consumption should be checked by a professional.
Steering and Indicator Failures
Some users have faced issues with the steering wheel module, which affects features like travel assist. There are also reports of indicators and wipers failing to work intermittently, which may indicate an electronic fault in the system. It's recommended to document these occurrences with video evidence to help technicians diagnose the problem.
General Recommendations
For those experiencing recurring issues, it may be worth contacting Volkswagen's customer relations department, as persistent problems could qualify the vehicle for a buyback under certain conditions. Additionally, ensuring regular maintenance and addressing any warning signs early can help mitigate long-term issues. If you experience any of these problems, it's advisable to consult with a dealership or certified mechanic to explore warranty options and potential solutions.
