2 Steering Column problem of the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg

Failure Date: 12/02/2013

The steering wheel continues to oscillate and vibrate at freeway speeds above 65mph. It continues to do so regardless of road surface. Vw has replaced tires, steering columns, and other areas that may be causing this issue, but the problem remains. The vehicle is now at 22,000 miles and is still experiencing the same problem and vw is not acknowledging the long term issue. I would like vw to repurchase the vehicle.

3 Steering Column problem of the 2013 Volkswagen Touareg

Failure Date: 03/26/2012

We took possession of the veh. On 3/14/12 with 495 miles on it. In the following week we noticed that the steering wheel and column was intermittently shuddering/ vibrating and making a noise. Veh. Was initially taken in @ dealership on 3/27/12. Also had issue with ad blue indicator coming on. Veh was taken back again on 4/6/12 for the same issues and also now pulling to the right and steering locking up and binding while turning. Steering rack was replaced on second attempt to fix. Veh. Brought back on 4/17/12 for same issues except ad blue appears to be fixed. To date veh. Still has recurrent/ intermittent issues: shuddering steering wheel at both high and low speeds, vibration/ shaking in steering column, whining noise while turning, tightening of steering wheel while turning sometimes requiring two hands to turn the wheel, veh pulls to the right and veh wanders in lane requiring constant correction. The steering overall is very inconsistent. Sometimes there feels like too much lag in the steering and other times if feels like it is fighting itself. There is also a new problem now with the ac making a horrible noise when it kicks on.
