What year of car?

 

Sorry
Just after I posted, I realized I forgot most important fact. 2022 RLine.
I haven't posted before, and looked for a way to quickly edit post.
Thanks for your reply so I can correct/update the post 2022 vw Tiguan RLine.
While I have you on the thread (took me a moment to remember the correct terminology), anybody have a problem with the driver side seat belt release mechanism ??

 

Hello,
I had the same issue with my 2024 SE R-Line. This started happening almost as soon as I bought it (August 2024) I finally got the dealership to take a deeper dive into the issue 11 months later. They had my car for 2 weeks and replaced the 3527 steering column control module. 2 months later and the issue has not come back.
Hope this helped. My Tiguan was doing it more often than you described, but it was very annoying

 

The main reason I asked the year is the wiper switches changed with the mk3. With yours, I can understand this happening if you have the wiper arm in the first, auto wipe, position. But if the arm is definitely in the off position then the wipers should not be enabled at all. In auto, the sensor can sometimes get fooled and give a random wipe.

 

I have been experiencing this wiper issue since I purchased my 2019 Tiguan SEL. The dealer was never able to duplicate it and was told they couldn't diagnose it unless it was happening.

 

That's the caned reply. I got the same. But, they told me that it is logged in as a warranty problem. It should be on your record if noted during your warranty period.
