| Description of the problem | The touareg has two defcts that will eventually lead to if they have not caused damge. For months i have tried to get vw to fix the defective tail light faults and warnings due to the installation of the tow hitch. Vw claims these issues are related to all trailers. Additionally, this vehicle has a defective drivers windsghield wiper that causes obscured visability. Both are dangerous and vw claims noraml operation.
