problem #1

Mar 222004

Touareg 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150 miles
Since I purchased a 2004 VW Touareg on 2/28/04 I have had various problems with it. The most severe is the front end allignment and brakes. I have had a total of 6 front end allignments since I purchased the vehicule. It is in the shop right now and they can not correct it. This is a an extreme hazard at higher speeds since the SUV pulls hard to the right. I was told by the mechanic that worked on my vehicule that he set the allignment to factor specs and it still pulls to the right. I took it to tire kingdom twice and they did the same and did a high speed balance on the tires as well and it still pulls to the right. Also volkwagon of America put out circular vwa-04-12 stating that there is a factory problem with front end allignments on certin VIN numbers on the Touareg. VW will not acknowledge that there is a problem. I also have trouble with the breaks making loud noise and wearing out fast. Now they are telling me that the rotors are bad. I have complained about the brakes and nothing was done. Also there is condensation on the windshield from the air conditioning and they did have a recall on this, but the trouble still exsists.
