Tiguan 4-cyl

  • 28,000 miles
The car has had a distinct noise when driving. I complained every time we were in and finally June of 2019 I was told it was the alignment after I had repeatedly told them it was the wheel bearings. After paying for a new alignment I was told that yes the wheel bearings needed to be changed and that because of all of the issues my tires needed to be replaced as well. I had that done, a month later I went in for an oil change and they told me I needed another alignment! I told them it was just done! they assured me that I would be taken care of. If it was actually done, I will never know. Even after all of this the car started making the noise again! I don't have time to go back and forth. I finally got fed up and went in on a Saturday. The technician looked at the car from the outside and took a 0.2 mile test drive with me in the car and told me that the alignment in the back is bad and has caused severe cupping on my back tires. Saying I need another alignment and more new tires! I have had this car less than 2 years and if it isn't the alignment, the tires, the wheel bearings, it's the sun roof which has flooded the back of my car 3 weeks of owning it and now hasn't constant recalls. As well as recalls to fix the recalls. This car is a complete definition of a lemon! the technician admitted the this model has lots of problems. I've always owned used cars this is my first new car off the lot and I have never had so many problems with a car. Please help!
