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. *TR

STEERING
VEHICLE EXHIBITS A STEERING WHEEL SHAKE THAT CONSISTENTLY OCCURS ABOVE 60MPH ON ALL ROAD SURFACES. AT ONSET, CAN FEEL OSCILLATION IN HANDS AND ARMS. WITH HANDS LIGHTLY ON WHEEL OR REMOVED, CAN VISUALLY CONFIRM STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION (CYCLICAL ROTATION FROM L TO R AND BACK) WITH ABOUT 3/8" TOTAL TRAVEL AT STEERING WHEEL PERIMETER. CABIN ALSO EXHIBITS SLIGHT VIBRATION WHICH CAN BE FELT IN SEAT. CAR DOES NOT TRACK WELL IN LANE AND CONSISTENTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT. VW IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND ADDRESSES IT IN TSB 44-13-01 FROM JUNE 2013. REPEATED APPLICATION OF THE REMEDIES IN THE TSB HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. SUBSTITUTION OF ALL FOUR WHEELS AND TIRES FROM ANOTHER TOUAREG THAT DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM FAILS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, SUGGESTING THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE WHEELS/TIRES. ISSUE PERSISTS WITH NO REMEDY TO DATE. *TR
