Touareg 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
I own a 2005 VW Touareg and the brakes squeal at slow speeds. The dealership says this is normal for brakes to squeal on a heavy SUV. The car is practically brand new, and even though the dealership changed the brake pads due to a tsb from VW, the brakes still squeal. It appears VW knows its a design defect because they've announced that "larger brakes" will be added to the new 2007 Touareg's in the future.

The brakes in my 2005 jetta gli make a very loud noise when I back up. It was a recall and they told me the first day that they had taken care of it, and that if I keep on hearing the noise take it back. Well the noise its pretty bad, so I took the car back and they said they couldnt do anything about it, but I don't think they even looked at the car, because when I picked it up it was exactly how I left it and usually they wash you car or put plastic when they see it.
