We have the nav system, air-suspension, premium 2 pkg- essentially every option. PROBLEMS: The nav/CD system went out-we are having the third one installed. 1 of the headlights quit working twice-now fixed. One of the speakers went out-now fixed. The remote has abismal range. There was a whistling in the rear door- fixed after 3 trips to the dealer. Problem with the rear window latch causes the interior lights to remain on- being fixed as well. Our dealer has been very responsive, but in the three months we have had the car, it has been in the shop 7 times. Wondering if we got a lemon.

I picked the VW over the Acura MDX and Lexus. I thought it was cooler and more sporty. Had I known how unreliable it would be I never would have leased it. The automatic climate control would stop functioning after about two hours of driving. On long road trips, I freeze when it is cold and roast when it is hot. Just what I wanted from a $38,000 vehicle. VW can't find the problem. The front tires are showing excessive wear on the inside edge. VW service admits to seing the problem on other Touaregs, but doesn't know the cause. The "check headlight range control" warning light required three trips to the dealer to get fixed.

I should have known better when I forked out $45k for a Volkswagen. Attracted by the design and stylish interior I dismissed the Golden Rule: Never buy a complete new car model within the first year of the official market release. I have only 3300 miles on the clock and had to bring it into the shop five times already. Yes, five times. Besides the weekly recalls VW issues (kind of a game now for me to guess what they'll find next week)the car has let me down various times. Engine troubles, electronics mailfunctioning, airbag errors, tire- pressure alerts every other day - it just doesn't stop.
Should have keep the BMW

I have had nothing but problems from day one. The rear hatch was ready to fall off from the factory. When the hatch was opened it buckled against the roof and bent the roof. There are noises that come from under the dash that the service people have not heard before. Now the display tells me that I have a Break Failure. Would I purchase another or another VW? NO! I have talked to 3 other owners that would love to get out of their Lease. As time goes on it only gets worse..

We purchased this vehicle because we wanted an excellent SUV for the hilly terrain of Southern Vermont. While it handles well in the flats, it is underpowered for steep hills and has had many many electrical problems. It is very complex and VW has not handled these issues well and the dealers do not have trained technicians to support the complex systems onboard. The tires were shot at 20,000 miles, the car spent many many days in the shop working out electrical problems. I reccomend that if you must have the Taureg, then buy the V8 as it has sufficient power and seems to have had less issues thn the six. I would not buy it again. The GPS does not perform well in back roads or off road.
