Description of the problem	I own a 2009 touareg 2, v6 automatic & have had multiple problems with it. I purchased it as a pre-owned vw certified vehicle in january of 2012 with 32,423 miles on it. In march of 2013 (62227 miles) while driving home i had increased difficulty steering. The problem was that the power steering rack assembly needed to be replaced at a cost of $1600. Unfortunately the warranty had just expired a week or so before & the dealer would not cover the repair. Then in july of 2013 (72913 miles) the prop shaft assembly had to be replaced costing $1400. Now on july 2, 2015 (122,000 miles) while driving home i start to hear a whining noise & difficulty steering & am just able to make it home. We have it towed to the mechanic & find all the hydraulic fluid has leaked out & again the power steering rack will need to be replaced for appx. $1600+. Way too many repairs over the past two years.
