I bought two of them, poor, poor me. Upon driving out of the dealership in Aug 2005 the problems started. 1) 60-80 mph vibration A. Tires? B. Balancing? C. Wear? D. Alignment? E. Driveshaft? They don't know-and they have never heard of these problems. What bull. 2. AC problems, not cooling down. 3. Heat Shield Vibration 4. Hesitatation and lurching -very dangerous 5. Lights, motor None of these have been sucessfully repaired to date. They should paint them all yellow and give some lemonaid with these 50K jokes. On 9/6/05 I requested a technichin to look at the SUVs. They jsut had one come on 6/20/06. They will not admit there are problems. And they will look you right in the eye and tell you this is the first time they ever heard about it. I questioned a friend who is a service manager at a Jeep/Audi/Volkswagen dealership. He roled his eyes and said you can't believe the problems with these SUVs. Vibrations, the wear, etc, etc. They bury their heads like ostrachs. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. They are misleading their customers in a most dishonest way. I suggest that you do not wasted your time. If you have a lemon law in your state use it. All request warranty cover up to the State Attorney General office for consumer fraud. Do everything by registered mail. You will be surprised to see what they omit from your service record. And by all means don't give up. We are not dealing with integrity, if you own one of these jokes, you soon realize this is not "Herbie the Love Bug". |

I purchased my 2004 Touareg V6 in Dec 2005. Have had a few problems with the center rear seatbelt locking (with three kids, not a great thing). Also, I recently filled up a full tank of chevron premium gas (which I have used before) and upon leaving the gas station, the "exhaust" lignt came on, the engine chugged and I had to pull over and have it towed to the local VW dealership where I purchased it. They spent 6 days now, trying to find the problem and have now told me it is the gas I put in and there is nothing they can do about it, but are still charging me for the labor. Anyone experienced anything like this before? Thanks

Nice gesture and I never heard of that happening before but I'm happy now!!

Replying to: shaver (Apr 24, 2006 8:28 am) I have a 6 cyl and the same ratling noise before transmission shifts. Did you find out what is the reason? Thanks.

My dealer quote to replace front and rear brakes on my 1.5 year old Touareg was $700, which seems a bit steep for a VW. Is this a high maintenance vehicle???
