“Walked outside on sunday morning to see my rear view mirror was dangling by wires. They say it cost 700+ dollars to repair because of the rain sensor that is behind the mirror. Original front glass and mirror. There is no reason why it should have fell. If it would have happened to me while driving, it could have caused an accident and endangered my life. This needs to be considered to a recall due to multiple issues with other touaregs. Please review this claim as any other but note that it could be a serious issue with safety. Thank you for your time and hard work!”
