Volkswagen Touareg
What it says about you
Opinion
A luxury off-roader sharing bones with a Cayenne, sold at a fraction of the price. Yours can tow far more than anyone expects.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
13 model years on record, 414 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 3. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2005 (defect). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2017 1 recall 24 complaints
- 2016 2 recalls 44 complaints
- 2015 2 recalls 24 complaints
- 2014 2 recalls 27 complaints
- 2013 2 recalls 30 complaints
- 2012 2 recalls 28 complaints
- 2011 2 recalls 16 complaints
- 2010 1 recall 25 complaints
- 2009 2 recalls 19 complaints
- 2008 4 recalls 56 complaints
- 2007 3 recalls 9 complaints
- 2006 1 recall 37 complaints
- 2005 defect 75 complaints
