Upon driving my new 2019 volkswagen tiguan this past winter. It was a very cold winter day, when starting my car it wouldn't go in reverse. , then started to go, in reverse . I put it into d drive .. I would putt ( go and stop) like it was running out of gas . There was plenty of gas in it . It continued to display the epc yellow warning light. The light signal is engine control malfunction . I have notified my dealership I purchased it from. The state it will do that when it is very cold out.
Sport shift. This is an underpowered and sometimes confused vehicle. Most owners say to drive in "sport" mode to help it not hesitate as much when accelerating from a stop (can have long hesitation for no apparent reason) and when passing at highway speeds. Per manual "sport mode will not allow transmission to go into highest gear" which is 8th gear.
