Incident date: Mar 5, 2024
My Tiguan was towed on [XXX] to Beyer Volkswagen [4017 Valley Pike, Winchester, VA 22602] for service to repair a sudden and unexpected vehicle failure. On [XXX], I started the Tiguan and noticed a hard start. I drove the vehicle about 4 miles down the road and noticed a smell of gasoline when I
... stopped and opened the door. I immediately drove the car home at which point I noticed gasoline on the road and driveway, as well as a heavy persistent smell of gas. I moved the vehicle to the road and had it towed [$95 at my expense] to Beyer VW for service. This failure rendered the vehicle undrivable and luckily was able to get it towed before it became engulfed in flames. [XXX], after getting the vehicle back for 1 week (dealership claiming repair fixed) the problem was not fixed and in fact gas spewed from the engine at a higher rate. Pictures attach showing about of gas which instantly dispelled at start and move from driveway to road. This is a critical vw problem that will result in fire.

Many X1 owners have reported the "Secure Vehicle Against Rolling Error" online in forums once the vehicle hits 100K miles. BMW is charging customers over $3K to fix a worn out spring that costs less than $10 on eBay. This should be under recall!

Ford did an update recently, 6.8.0, which obscures the speedometer and moved it to far right of the IPC making it difficult to see now when driving. This is safety issue and I like to have the speed of my vehicle right in front me where it should be.

I first noticed the car engine began making a loud ticking sound and significantly lost power as I exited the freeway heading toward my home after work. After towing the vehicle to the Subaru dealership, they tore apart the engine and found a connecting rod bearing had failed. It had slid out betwee
... n the rod and crankshaft and shattered in the oil system sending shards of metal into the engine and all components that the oil touches. Every component that oil touches needed to be replaced. Prior to this problem, maintenance and oil changes were performed according to Subaru's specifications. Had the engine completely failed on the freeway during my commute home (during rush hour traffic) I could have caused an accident and possibly hurt myself and others. Subaru inspected and kept the components that were faulty though they never accepted responsibility for the failure of the components. There was absolutely no indication nor warning signal prior to the failure of the connecting rod bearing. Subaru blamed me for the component failure saying the vehicle was not properly maintained though they never asked me for proof of maintenance. I had to pay $7868 to repair the car to it's original mechanical state.Read more

The engine blew up around 75k miles, it had blown a rod barring even though the car had been maintained. The clutch prematurly went out causing me to have to replace everything but the flywheel at under 75k miles. The clockspring is bad in the car affecting the horn and air bags. Having to get that

I OWN A 2015 WRX LIMITED CVT. WHEN I GO TO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND I START IT, THE CAR SPUTTERS. I'VE ONLY NOTICED THIS ON COLD STARTS ONLY, ONCE THE CAR IS WARMED UP IT'S FINE. FOR SOME REASON THOUGH WHEN THE CAR IS SPUTTERING ON START UPS IT WILL TRIP MY CEL AND BASICALLY PUT THE CAR INTO 'GET HO
... ME' MODE, BUT IT ONLY SEEMS TO TRIGGER THE CEL WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE CAR WILL ALWAYS SPUTTER ON START UP BUT SOMETIMES THE CEL WILL COME ON AND I CAN'T USE THE DRIVE MODES AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T COME ON. NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN'T GET THE CAR TO STOP SPUTTERING. I'VE CLEANED PRETTY MUCH EVERY SENSOR I COULD AND NOTHING WORKED. I SCANNED THE OBD2 PORT AND GOT P0300 FOR RANDOM MISFIRE, WHICH TELLS ME ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.Read more

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ~70 MPH AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONLY LOOSE SPEED. ENGINE STARTED TO SHUTTER TO LOW RPMS, AND BECAUSE OF THIS DRASTICALLY LOST SPEED AND NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO
... PULL OVER. AFTER EVENTUALLY PULLING OVER, ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUTTER TO LOW RPMS AND COULD NOT HOLD AN IDLE - WOULD JUST STALL AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START IT UP. CAR WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST DEALERSHIP AND AFTER WAITING 4 DAYS FINALLY HEARD IT WAS THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT SUBARU MADE A DESIGN CHANGE FOR THE WIRE HARNESS TO PREVENT WATER/MOISTURE FAILURE WHICH IS MOST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. STUCK WITH A $1400 BILL DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A 2020 MODEL WHICH HOPEFULLY DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER CALLING SUBARU OF NORTH AMERICA AND EXPLAINING THE SITUATION, THEY OFFERED ME $1000 TOWARDS THE NEW PURCHASE. IT WAS A KIND GESTURE HOWEVER I QUESTION IF IT IS SOMEWHAT ADMISSION OF GUILT FOR THE DESIGN FLAW. 2015 WRX 138K MILES WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED WITH ALL NECESSARY MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT PROPER INTERVALS AND OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-4K MILES.Read more

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK NOT FOLLOWING ANYONE CLOSELY. I DID NOT GO UNDER ANY OVERPASSES OR TREES AND I HAD MY SUNROOF CLOSED WITH THE SHADE VISOR OPEN AT THE TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE (LOUD BOOM) AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF GLASS FELL ON ME INTO THE
... VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ONE NEAR ME ON EITHER SIDE AND I KEPT MY COMPOSURE UNTIL I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO LOOK AND CLEAR THE GLASS FROM MY SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I INSPECTED THE SUNROOF GLASS, IT LOOKED LIKE SOME OF THE BROKEN PIECES ARE FORCED IN AN UPWARDS MANNER AS IF DUE TO PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION. I CHECKED OVER THE REST OF MY VEHICLE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS CHIPS AND DEEP SCRATCHES FROM THE GLASS THAT DAMAGED MY ROOF, SHARKFIN ANTENNA, AND MY TRUNK AREA WHICH I WILL NEED TO HAVE REPAIRED TO AVOID RUST. I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED BY THIS INCIDENT AND GOT A FEW SMALL CUTS ON MY HANDS FROM CLEANING THE GLASS OFF SO I COULD DRIVE BACK HOME. I HAVE DASHCAM FOOTAGE (THAT CAN BE PROVIDED AS WELL) OF ME DRIVING DURING THIS OCCURRENCE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE HIT THE SUNROOF TO DAMAGE IT IN SUCH A WAY. THERE WERE ALSO NO OBJECTS THAT WENT INTO MY CAR'S CABIN FOLLOWING THE BREAKAGE. I WAS READING OVER OTHER SIMILAR REPORTED ISSUES AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS SPREAD ACROSS VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND COVERED BY MANUFACTURERS AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.Read more

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING UP A HILL AND MY SUBARU WRX WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNT RUBBER AND IT FELT LIKE MY VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER AT ALL SO I GOT OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT. I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, PUT THE VEHICLE IN 1ST GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I H
... AD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD WITH A STRANGERS HELP. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNT RUBBER AND IT PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SUBARU DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ALREADY REPLACED THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT 27,000 MILES. WHEN MY CLUTCH WENT OUT, MY VEHICLE HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW SUBARU DOESNT WANT TO PAY FOR THIS CLUTCH. SO NOW I AM ON MY 3RD CLUTCH AT 35,000 MILES. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS. IN FACT, SUBARU EVEN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ISSUED TWO SERVICE BULLETINS (DESIGN CHANGES) FOR THE CLUTCH'S IN THEIR 2014-2017 SUBARU WRXS. MY GUESS IS, THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER IT UP. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A SUBARU AGAINRead more

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR AND TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) FROM 6TH GEAR TO 3RD SINCE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN BUT THE SHIFTER WON'T GO INTO GEAR AND I WAS GOING UP HILL. I TRIED 4TH, 5TH, 3RD AGAIN, 2ND, AND I'M SLOW ENOUGH TO TRY EVEN 1ST AND STILL WON'T GO INTO GEAR. FORTUN
... ATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SHOULDER GOING UP HILL IN THE FREEWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE REP COULD NOT SHIFT IT INTO GEAR ALSO. HE WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO THE SERVICE BAY BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, PUTTING IT INTO GEAR, TURNING ON THE ENGINE AND DRIVING IT. AT THAT POINT IT SHIFTS JUST FINE AND WAS TOLD TO LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SINCE I WON'T BE ABLE TO SHIFT/ACCELERATE TO AVOID OBSTACLES OR PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. ABOUT 28000 MILES WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES, WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR COULD NOT BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL FROM 5TH GEAR. CLUTCH OPERATED NORMALLY SO I STOPPED USING THE CLUTCH, WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF 5TH HEAR. AS THE LI
... GHT TURNED GREEN I MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MOVING SLOWLY IN 5TH GEAR CAUSED CLUTCH TO SMELL, BUT CONTINUES OPERATING. AFTER STOPPING THE ENGINE AND STARTING IT AGAIN AND PRESSING AND DEPRESSING CLUTCH MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT, SHIFTER EVENTUALLY WENT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN SHIFTED NORMALLY FOR A MONTH. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES, WHILE STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO NEUTRAL FROM 3RD GEAR. TRIED STARTING AND STOPPING THE CAR AND PRESSING AND RELEASING CLUTCH, AND STILL COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD. SINCE I WAS ABOUT 1 MILE FROM HOME, DROVE CAR TO HOME IN 3RD GEAR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DISASSEMBLED THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND SOME PART OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD BROKEN, CAUSING THE ISSUE. CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER. IF THE SHIFTING ISSUE HAD OCCURRED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING COULD BE A HAZARD. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS.Read more

ON MY 24K SERVICE. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED IN AT BRIGGS SUBARU OF LAWRENCE, FOR TYPICAL RECOMMENDED SERVICE. AFTER LEAVING THE SERVICE CENTER ONCE THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED, A SHORT WHILE DOWN THE ROAD, I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT PLACING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS UNABLE
... TO SHIFT INTO GEAR TO CONTINUE. I HAD TO CALL THE SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOW BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER. WHERE A SERVICE TECH JOINED ME OUTSIDE, HE THEN PROCEEDED TO START THE VEHICLE, WHILE IN NEUTRAL; REVVED THE RPM TO ROUGHLY 5K AND SHIFTED INTO FIRST. THE VEHICLE MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, LURCHED FORWARD, AND WAS ABLE TO BE SHIFTED NORMALLY AT THIS POINT. THIS STALLING\INABILITY TO SHIFT INTO GEAR\DOWNSHIFT HAS HAPPENED ON SUBSEQUENT ADVENTURES IN THE WRX, WHILE MOVING AND AT A STOP AFTER THIS POINT. AT EACH DESIGNATED SERVICE INTERVAL, I REPORTED THIS TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR; THEY COULD NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. PROCEEDING TO THE 60K SERVICE, THE CLUTCH HAS SINCE FAILED, AND I'VE HAD NUMEROUS STALLS WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, THE CERTIFIED SUBARU REPAIR CENTER, STATES THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IN NO WAY DOES MY PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR EFFECT THE CLUTCH OR ANY INTERCONNECTED PART THEREOF. JUST IMAGINE HAVING THIS STALLING OR CLUTCH FAILURE HAPPEN WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY OR A BUSY INTERSECTION, LIKE I MYSELF HAVE EXPERIENCED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.Read more
