2006 Volkswagen Touareg. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory customer service at dealership concerning several vehicle repairs. The consumer stated from the beginning, the vehicle had problems. The navigation system malfunctioned. The unit was removed and installed again. The front and rear brakes were replaced, the evap purge valve was replaced, the ignition coils were replaced, corrosion built up in the sensor and wiring of the headlight, and the wiring and headlight were replaced. The check engine light illuminated, due to a faulty purge valve, for the third time. While driving on the freeway, the consumer felt vibrations and heard loud noises under the center arm rest. It was discovered the propeller shaft was broken. Also, the front brake pads material, was metal on metal. The brakes only lasted 24,600 miles. The consumer was also informed the water pump and oil pan were leaking.
Squealing noise after I stop and begin to accelerate or when I drive slow. Dealer says Touaregs are rough on brakes. It has about 42,000 miles on it. He suggests I live with the squealing noise for a year or two until the brakes really go. Or they can replace them now - $700+. ugh. Just bought the car 60 days ago.
