problem #1

May 132008

Touareg

  • 16,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg. The contact stated that at highway speeds, all four wheels would vibrate excessively, swaying back and forth. After numerous trips to the dealer to no avail, the vehicle was taken to a local repair facility. The mechanic advised that the tires were off road tires that should never have been installed on the vehicle. The tires were sent to a testing center and were deemed safe with no defects found. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The contact was displeased because the original equipment tires installed were off road tires and he believed the manufacturer was liable for replacing them for not initially installing the correct tires. The failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was approximately 17,800.
