• Recall 2016128 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, a securing clip at the brake pedal hinge may have become dislodged during vehicle assembly. This could allow the pivot pin to move out of position, which would allow the pedal to wobble, and could fracture the brake pedal pivot through continued use. A fractured hinge would allow the pedal to separate from its pivot, which could lead to impaired brake function and increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will inspect and add a securing clip as necessary.

2016 touareg was towed to ostein vw service after engine would not accelerate and ran rough when got onto the interstate. Ostein vw diagnostic was water into the air filter that got into engine and now need to replace engine block because of water getting into the air filter from the rain drain system system getting clogged for the touareg. Vw service says can hear engine valves chattering. I see at nhtsa that at least 60 other complaints have been filed about this problem of water getting into the air filter.

There is an ongoing issue with the drain from the air cleaner box clogging and water collecting in the box and then being ingested into the engine. On other occasions i had drained water from the box and changed the wet air filter to a dry one. Today (5/26/2021) i pulled out of my driveway and car started stalling. I got a transmission fault notification and immediately returned to my home. After raising the hood i noticed a noise from the left side of the engine bay and checked the drain for the air cleaner box. It was of course clogged. I opened the air cleaner box and approximately 6" of water ran out of the box. I restarted the engine and no longer had a transmission fault but an engine management warning. The engine while running was running roughly. I contacted the nearest vw dealership and they stated that this was a known issue, that there was no recall, that vw had come up with a "fix" for the issue and that, of course it was not covered under the powertrain warranty. The vehicle is not driveable and will be towed to the dealership for diagnosis and repair.

Driving on the highway as a cold front approached, outside temperature dropped to 17 degrees. All of a sudden we heard a loud sound, like a gunshot and immediately glass fell on our heads. The sunroof had exploded for no apparent reason as there were no other vehicles around us. It was a scary incident with my family onboard. Only minor glass cuts were suffered, mostly on the hands and we wiped the glass pieces off ourselves. Our driving speed was approximately 75 miles/hour, through open fields (no buildings or construction nearby) on a straight stretch of highway.

Vehicle intermittently loses power when accelerating. Would describe the feeling as ranging from a shudder or "hiccup" to a dropping sensation. Occurs at any point of acceleration - whether from low rate of speed to high (as in entrance ramp acceleration) or from cruising speed to higher cruising speed (as when speed limit increases). Identified this sensation within weeks of taking delivery of vehicle and it has continued.

Engine air filter compartment fills with water under normal, in-motion operating conditions, leaving a spongy, moldy mess of the air filter and extremely poor engine performance as well as engine overheating during summer months. Have replaced the filter repeatedlly. This is a serious and dangerous design flaw.

The vehicle was left parked on my driveway for 4 days, during so heavy rainstorms passed over my area. When i went to go start the car after 4 days, a sunny dry day finally, its sputtered and suffocated when starting up. Having heard these vehicles have water problems with the air intake for the engine i immediately shut off the car. When i opened the air filter housing there were about 2 inches of water in the housing that undoubtedly got sucked into my engine when it was started. With the vehicle, not being driven at all during the rain, heavy spray from the road or other cars can be ruled out as a cause and i figure there must be a defect in the seal or design of the air intake. Especially, since vw china recalled these vehicles for the exact same issue earlier this year. Additionally, the car was parked on a typical inclined driveway about 8 feet in front of the garage door, in no precarious position. Now the vehicle continues to sputter and lose revs when starting up.
