Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE IS HELD IN PLACE BY A CHAIN UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ITS HOISTED INTO PLACE FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE SPARE TIRE, I FOUND THE SPARE TIRE RIM BADLY RUSTED. I'M AFRAID THAT THE RIM'S HOLES WILL ULTIMATELY BECOME SO LARGE SO AS NOT TO HOLD THE LUG NUTS. IF THE SPARE WITH RUSTED LUG NUT HOLES THAT WERE TOO LARGE, WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, THE SPARE COULD POSSIBLY COME OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. FURTHERMORE, THE ANCHOR POINT ON THE SPARE TIRE HOIST IS ALSO RUSTING BADLY. IT MAY FAIL TO SUPPORT THE SPARE TIRE WHICH COULD THEN DROP FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN IT FELL, IT COULD BOUNCE AND STRIKE THE GAS TANK, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *JS
RECENTLY I NOTED THAT MY NOKIAN TIRES WERE COMING APART. MY SITUATION WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE REPORTED ON THIS CLUB TOUAREG FORUM: HTTP://WWW.CLUBTOUAREG.COM/FORUMS/F44/NOKIAN-WRG2-TIRES-FALLING-APART-79397.HTML I'VE HAD THEM FOR ABOUT 27K MILES, SAME MODEL TIRE, NEVER OFF-ROADED, AND THE FRONT TIRES STARTED SHREDDING. I WENT TO WHERE I BOUGHT THEM, AND NOKIAN OFFERED NO APOLOGY AND A $200 DISCOUNT ON A NEW SET OF $800 TIRES. THEY SOLD DEFECTIVE TIRES, AND YET THEY EXPECT ME TO SHELL OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. I DIDN'T SPEND ALMOST $1K ON TIRES TO HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $700 IN UNDER 30K MILES. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THEY CHOSE TO SELL DEFECTIVE TIRES, AND REPLACING THEIR DEFECTIVE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE. P.S. THE TIRE MODEL IS A WRG2. YOUR FORM REQUIRED I CHECK A MODEL, BUT THE CORRECT MODEL WASN'T ON THE LIST, SO I HAD TO CHECK THE WRONG MODEL OR THE FORM WOULDN'T LET ME CONTINUE. ALSO, THE PROBLEM IS ON BOTH FRONT TIRES, ALTHOUGH THE FORM ONLY ALLOWED ME TO SELECT A SINGLE TIRE LOCATION. *TR
