2012 Tiguan 09G program is HORRID!!!!!!

[vw_nc_dude]

I have had enough of VW's inaction on this issue. I am starting a lemon law case. I want a full refund on my 2012 Tiguan. The dealer misrepresented the problem when they told me that the poor shifting would go away once the transmission and turbo "adapt" to my driving style.

Don't know how far you can go with a lemon law case. I would wait still a little bit. There is some hope that there will be an update coming to US customers. The below message is from VW of Canada:

Good afternoon,

The software will be available at our dealerships within the next 2-3 weeks.

Based on the info we have from VW of Canada, I asked VW of America if there is a time estimate for the transmission update for U.S. customers. Here is the info I got:

Dear Mr. T:

Thank you for your e-mail reply.

I understand Volkswagen of Canada has provided you with details regarding a possible upcoming transmission update for the Tiguan. I regret information such as the details Volkswagen of Canada provided to you is not made available to the Volkswagen of America’s Customer CARE Center.

As stated in my previous e-mail, we are aware that Volkswagen is working on an adjustment for the transmission. When additional details are available they will be provided to our dealers. I encourage you to remain in contact with your local Volkswagen dealer.

I had the TSB applied to my 2012 Tiguan SE and there is a noticeable difference in the shift points. I am pleased with the results and recommend that anyone with the same problem should get the update.
