“I have a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 which was purchased new with pirelli tires. At approximately 12,000 miles, I noticed a vibration in the steering and took my car in to the dealer. The dealer found nothing wrong at that time. The car started to pull to the right at about 20,000 miles and again I took the car to the dealer. The dealer would not align the tires because they said that there were too many highs and lows in the tires although I had done everything required by the dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10285865, filed 2009-09, 20,699 miles“On january 21, 2008 I purchased a new 2008 Volkswagen Touareg. I am the original owner. The TPMS continuously warns of a low tire (s). However, no such low tire condition exists. After complaining, I learned that Volkswagen sets the 'low tire pressure warning telltale' warning to alert at a tire pressure loss of about 4 PSI, based on a factory fixed initial tire pressure preset of 46 PSI rear, and 39 PSI front. These fixed preset pressures are based upon a maximum vehicle load. …”
NHTSA complaint #10217577, filed 2008-02, 15 miles“The contact owns a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg. The vehicle had pirelli scorpion strs tires, tire size 265/45zr20. The contact observed when the vehicle was parked that the air pressure in the tires needed to be over inflated by two pounds before the vehicle could be in operation. A failure had not occurred when the complaint was filed. The contact disagreed with the practice of over inflating the tires. The failure mileage was unavailable. The current mileage was 5,280.”
