Complaint #11046964 was filed 11/17/2017 and more problems have surfaced since then. The horn stopped working, all the electrical connections on the steering wheel do not work - the problem has been traced to the wrong air bags replaced by recall by the dealer . The replacement air bag is the wrong air bag and it has the other connections not working.
My wife bought a 2008 touareg from a local dealer with about 16,000 miles on it and she seldom drives the vehicle (to and from work). After about 3 or 4k miles the tires began to make alot of noise. I noted feathering/cupping only on the inside rear tires. The tires with new ones and after about 8,000 miles (w/rotations) the rear tires began to feather?cup again. I have a 2010 Passat that has the same exact problem. When the tires begin to feather/cup the noise sounds like snow tires. This is the rear tires only and on the inside tread. I can't rotate the tires cause when you do, it sounds like one is running on all flat tires. I checked the web and there is thousands of complaints about this problem and of course vw denies any wrongdoing. I believe its a rear gear-box, or axle problem. I have spoke to many vw owners 07 thru 2010 and most have the same problem, while only a few do not. I believe a recall is on order. Vw engineers should be ashamed for allowing this defect to leave their factories and volks wagen to you I say. . Not built to last!.
