| Description of the problem | Since i purchased my 2016 touareg tdi in september 2015. The steering wheel vibration has become quite an issue as it is getting worse the longer i drive it. I have had it road tested, wheels balance tires rotated on three different occasions and it continues to vibrate at the steering. I have only 4000 miles on the odometer. The vibration begins around 45-50 mph. It does not matter what type of surface. I called vw of america they set up another appointment with my local dealership. Not only is this vibration wrong it is also a safety issue which can result in excessive tire wear, and possibly a blow out causing an accident. |
