Description of the problem	During a rain storm and with my wife driving on a busy neighborhood throughway our 2016 vw touareg lost all power from the engine and power steering. She was forced to stop on the side of the road and push the car to safety. Upon research we learned about a problem with water getting into the air filter and subsequently into the motor. The next day, after the rain cleared i unlatched the air filter and found water pouring out of the filter box and had completely saturated the air filter to that of a soaking wet sponge. I have towed the touareg to the dealership and am awaiting the diagnostics. How could such a simple flaw remain such a major issue with out any action from volkswagen? I only hope i do not have to pay for a new motor just because we drove in a daily summertime florida rain storm.
