Driving 2004 touareg equipped with air suspension. Speed 55 starting right hand sweeping turn the right side air suspension blew out dropping the front end to bump stops causing rear of truck to bounce and go sideways causing loss of control of vehicle. Apparently there is a tsb to change the material of the connector that blew out, however dealership is not willing to perform it unless I pay for anything they may break in the process of the repair. Corrosion is causing failures in the northeast.

I have had my 2004 vw touareg since june 2006 and have had problem after problem with the vehicle. The catalytic converter went out within 6 weeks of buying the car, the drive shaft had to be replaced, the air conditioning compressor had to be replaced, the brakes have had to be replaced and I am getting another "check brake pads" error again, the tire monitoring system continually tells me I have a flat, the radio amplifier was making a loud cracking so the dealership replaced a fuse and blew the 2 back speakers (which they would not fix, hewlett vw in georgetown, texas), the auto differential is going out. There seems to be no end in sight for repairs.

Screeching brakes. The brakes were screeching for the past three months and the vw dealership replaced the pads and disc. After three attempts, I was told that the screeching is normal. Also, since I bought the SUV in setptmber 2004, I have been having an alignment problem which resulted in excessive tire wear. The dealer did numerous alignments and I changed all four tires( 3 times), but the problem still exists. The vehicle only has about 28,000 miles.

My 2004 vw touareg has been diagnosed with premature failure of the front suspension bushings. The vehicle has never been used off-road. The vehicle has 55k miles on it. I believe that this is an inherent defect in the polymer used for the bushings and it should be replaced at vw's expense. Vw has not been responsive to my request. I have had many cars in my life, and this type of failure has never occurred, even with up to 105k miles. The repair is estimated to cost $1700. This type of failure could lead to a serious accident by the failure of the suspension system and loss of vehicle control.
