I NOTICED A SMALL VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BOTTOM AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THE HANGER BEARING AND THAT THE HANGER BEARING IS NOT AN AVAILABLE PART HAT THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1,400.! THE CAR IS ONLY TWO WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH ONLY 51,000 MILES SO I TOOK IT TO VOLKSWAGEN. VOLKSWAGEN SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I AM TWO WEEKS OUT BUT, IF I HAD BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER, MEANING IF I HAD ALL MY SERVICE DONE BY VW THEY WOULD HAVE COVERED IT! REALLY! SO IN OTHER WORDS THEY DON'T STAND BY THERE PRODUCT UNLESS YOU GET YOUR OIL CHANGED BY THEM! ANYWAY AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM ON VOLKSWAGEN FORUMS IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ON THE VEHICLES AND IT HAPPENS AT LOW MILEAGE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE AND THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED! WHAT KIND OF COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BY THERE PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A KNOCKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE KNOCKING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER 9 DAYS, THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A SPECIAL SPRAY TO THE DEALER TO SPRAY BEHIND THE BRAKE PADS. THE CONTACT LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 1,200.
