 We have owned more than 5 cars over the last 10 years - a mix of German and Japanese makes. This 2010 vw Tiguan has been the most unreliable car we have ever owned or driven. This includes the notoriously unreliable Italian cars I grew up driving in the 1980s. We bought this car new. Over the last 6 months (out of warranty of course), we have had the following issues1. Water pump failure2. Fuel pump failure3. Turbo repair4. A variety of electrical faults5. Turbo replacement, costing a total $5000 in repairs. Now the6. EPC light and check engine light just came on - headed to dealer. LAST VW WE EVER BUY.WOULD HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM PURCHASING THIS CAR. We were helping some friends with car shopping this weekend. Steered them clear of the vw Tiguan, their top choice before we talked to them.
