Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I LEASE A 2005 TOUAREG V6 AND ALL TIRES OF THE CAR ARE WORM OUT AFTER 8K MILES. MAKER REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. ONE OF THE TIRES ALSO HAS A DEEP CRACK. THE LEASE VEHICLE RETURN FINAL INSPECTION CAME OUT WITH 150$ CHARGE FOR EACH TIRE. *TR
THE TIRES ON MY 2005 TOUREG HAVE EXCESSIVE WEAR DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PIRELLI TIRE USED. THIS WAS FIXED ON THE 2006 TOUREGS HOWEVER THE 2004 AND 2005 HAVE THE WRONG TIRES SPEC AND THE TIRES COULD BLOW OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING A PERSON TO LOSE CONTROL AND ROLL THEIR VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED VW AND PIRELLI WITH NO SUCCESS IN GETTING MY TIRES REPLACED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY CLAIM BECAUSE THEY ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. I ONLY HAVE APPROX 20,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES. I WAS ALSO INSTRUCTED TODAY THAT I COULD PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR TIRES AND THEN I WOULD RECEIVE A WARRANTY ON THEM. *NM
6700 MILES AND MY FRONT TIRES ARE ALREADY BARE!! *JB
DISSATISFACTION WITH THE WEAR OF OEM TIRES. ONLY 6/10 OF TREAD AFTER 6,000 MILES. *NM
