17. I did some searching regarding VW's implementation of those features.

What I found was that lots of people have similar complaints about VW's "safety nannies" to the ones from KIA owners. It's not really the car maker. It's the technology that is imperfect and that has issues in certain situations.

Lane assist, front collision avoidance automatic braking, and other systems all have people complaining about situations where those systems behaved inappropriately.

So, you may not have had issues with your particular vehicle, but others are having such issues. My concern is shared by owners of all makes and models equipped with those systems. While they work just fine most of the time, when they don't work correctly problems can occur that are caused by the systems themselves.

In fact, here's a video that illustrates the Lane assist problem on a Tiguan. Watch and you'll see what I'm talking about:
