Tiguan broke down today

Anybody else had problems with start / stop in their Tiguan ?

Our 4 day old Tiguan wouldn't start today when the wife stopped to allow the garage door to open.

Hi jpvw01,

I've had a delayed start one day but it started after a slight pause. I have 2017 Tiguan too.

Are you talking about auto start when you are stationary? My small issue was with auto start / stop.

Yes Mengy. Wife pulled up in the driveway and car wouldn't auto start. Took multiple attempts and 10 minutes to get it started again.

Oh I see, wow 4 days old. I would be taking that back to dealer to look at pronto. Last thing you need is a brand new car that doesn't start.

My issue was just a once off. Might pay to emulate settings again if you weren't there. Since its a brand new car there could be safety features kicking in so it doesnt start depending on what action was involved with your wife driving at the time.

I did watch a vid on you tube the other day with the handbrake being engaged if a door is opened and your vehicle is still rolling.

Did it crank on the starter motor and not start or did the starter did not engage?

Starter did not engage.

Do you have your GPS set to home?

For me, everytime i drive back home, I stop to get the remote to open my garage and my car shuts down and tells me to put in P and start the car again (very frustrating). Problem slightly different to yours but i thought my car was dead too. But it could have something to do with it?


But yeah i agree with mengy to simulate the situation again.

I wonder if taking your seatbelt off during the shut-down/restart process upsets it?

As soon as i start mine i turn the Bloody thing OFF

And I have never seen the issue with it. It amuses me the people who have never driven a car with it working but still hate it. How can you hate something you have never used or experienced?
