Make : VOLKSWAGEN Model : TOUAREG Year : 2004
Manufacturer : VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Crash : No Fire : No Number of Injuries: 0

Date of Failure: August 7, 2005

Component: TIRES
Summary:
I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY VW TOUAREG V6. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS VISITS
TO THE DEALER FOR FAILURES IN DESIGN. FOOTLIGHT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR
WAS OFF DUE TO TRUNK DOOR LATCH BEING BROKEN AT TIME OF PURCHASE. TIRES WERE
WEARING FASTER THAN NORMAL AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS BAD. I WAS GIVEN NEW TIRES,
HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, I WAS TOLD YES AND THEY WERE
UNSURE WHAT VW WOULD DO IN THE FUTURE. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT
ANY TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MALFUNCTION THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE NUMEROUS
COMPUTER OPTIONS. IT CAME ON AFTER A TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER
SAID "DON'T WORRY, IT WILL RESET ITSELF AND GO OFF".RADIO HAS MYSTERIOUSLY
STOPPED WORKING FOR 24 HOURS AT A TIME. CAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DEAD ON TWO
OCCASIONS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE BATTERY IN
THE TOUAREG CAN'T SUPPORT THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER MODULES. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS
NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS THE BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED. I WAS
TOLD THIS WAS A MISTAKE BY VW AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD
TO NOT DRIVE IN THE CITY AS THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM MUCH WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT
THEY AREN'T SURE HOW THAT HAPPENED, BUT SIMPLY RESETTING THE CAR MADE IT RETURN.
CD PLAYER WOULD NOT WORK,CAR WAS "RESET". I FIND THIS CAR TO BE THE BIGGEST JOKE
EVER MADE. I UNFORTUNATELY AM OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE LEMON LAW IN MAINE (I
HAVE 27,000MILES ON THE CAR). I REALLY THINK THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN MY CAR
THE LONGER I HAVE THE THING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THE CAR IS THAT THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY IT COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY MOMENT. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO
CARRY A SELF JUMPING SYSTEM IN A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW $34,000 CAR. I WAS ALSO
TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP WHEN I STATED I WAS THINKING OF SELLING THE CAR, THAT THEY
DIDN'T BLAME ME AS THEY HAD HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT THE TOUAREG.
YEAH, I FEEL REALLY SAFE WITH THIS CAR. I THINK IT IS TIME SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS CAR AND VW. *NM
