| 19000 mi | Have had creaking and clunking in the front end "somewhere" for a couple months. I thought it could be ball joints or some such. They found nothing and it still makes the noise. Remind me not to purchase another VW!! |
| 30000 mi | The front end creak was never identified or fixed. The only thing I know is that winter cold seemed to exacerbate the problem. Just one of many issues that drove me to trade at 33 months! |
| 19000 mi | Popping sound over bumps and when turning in reverse. Dealer investigation revealed wheel bearings had excessive rust. Rust removed and bearings reassembled. Issue improved, but is beginning to reappear. |

Replaced both rear springs as the result of the RR spring breaking near its base. This is likely attributable to the poor condition of road surfaces in RI. Some Tiguans have been recalled for spring issues, but this model is not on the recall list |
| 39500 mi US $200 |
Bushings on strut were making popping sounds. Dealer replaced them. |
