| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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. *tr |
