TregingCo - I have admired your tenacity and willingness to solve any problem positively w/ your car. It sucks that it has gotten to this point. I hope things improve.

jm1244 - You are a minority of the people who have a bad car. Sorry for you, but do you really think all the 80,000 plus Touaregs are Lemons? Why aren't they all posting comments like yours on this website? Or, why hasn't this horror story been on the nightly news?

jm1244 - Yes, I agree w/ you on frustration issues. The whole reason I read this forum everyday since Nov 03 is because I learned this was a complex, first year car and that the car has some bugs. I bought mine in April 04 fully realizing that the car could have some problems. The car is a value, and I did reflect hard on the potential for bugs.

As a woman who really knows little about cars and the problems w/ some of VW's dealers and their service departments, I have a big dis-advantage.

If it weren't for the help of this forum and it's members, my tire wear/balancing, pulling/alignment, cracked wood trim problems would have been a lot harder to deal with.

I just wouldn't tell anybody to stay away from, or conversely, recommend, Touaregs so strongly. I would tell them to read all the good and the bad posts and make an informed decision.

I am extremely happy w/ my decision to purchase the car, bugs have so far been worked out!
