Same as mentioned in the article [ http://www.vwproblems.com/news/2018/touareg-wet-air-filter-shut-down-engine/ ]
Car was parking on the driveway last night along with my wife's 2013 MDX. There was heavy rain in the early morning. My wife's 2013 MDX drove away like a charm. My 2017 Toureg was shaking and then stalled. Stupid dealership said my car was in water... what the f***.

VW design fault that's known world wide water in air filter box 2017 (Touareg TDI Adventure). VW denies there is a problem even though they were taken to court in China for this problem and found guilty which VW when they admitted they did the wrong thing. But outside China, they are still claiming there is nothing to see here. A class action is under way in USA which is leaving Australian customers with no fix. My car is one of them, with the same story as the rest. Guess what - it also fails to drain, and now we have a real disaster ahead with water in the turbo... and the motor? Boom, no motor.
VW says there's nothing to see here. Australia needs a class action against VW sooner rater than later.
