I have a vw tiguan with over 135,000 miles and nothing but trouble coolant problems, heater core replaced, small fan module replaced, sunroof leaking all four corners, shocks are loud, door handles falling off, check engine lights, flashing coolant senser and more. Can anyone please tell me if they…

No, not a lemon. It’s a Volkswagen.

I would do the fewest things necessary to get the car salable, and ditch it. Then go online to learn which cars are most reliable, and have a thorough check of any used car you look at. The only VW I would buy would be the ancient Bug. At least anybody can fix it.

You bought a well used car. Those problems you mention could be the result of prior neglect, abusive driving habits, bad roads, and so on. It is NOT a lemon. That only applies to new cars. Engine coolant issues? Supposed to be changed every 40k miles. Was it done? Who knows. Shock or strut problem…

The Tiguan in your year range was full of troubles. I would sell and try for something better. VW fixes all their issues in a generation and your 2010 was at beginning. Their vehicles end up being quite reliable. VW makes reliable vehicles but tend to be later in a given generation.

My guess is someone traded in this car, with all of the problems known, and you’ve bought it now. It stinks, but it is what it is now. Your only options are 1) fix all the issues, or 2) trade in the vehicle for something else. Bear in mind that any car, even brand new, can have issues. If you get…

So true, I traded in a 2018 Tiguan bought new and only had 37,000 miles on it. As a formal long time VW owner, get used to frequent check engine lights and expensive repairs. I switched back to Honda.
