The drain valves in the air intake allegedly don't allow water to drain properly from the engine compartment, causing water to collect in the bottom of the Touaregs’ air boxes and damaging the air filters.
But the engines will die once the water enters the engines, something the plaintiffs claim VW has known about since the beginning of 2018. That claim is based on a Chinese recall of 33,142 Touaregs manufactured between December 2014 and November 2017.
The lawsuit alleges the Chinese General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine found the defective drain valves, causing Volkswagen to say, “We are sincerely regretful that the faulty drain valves in the Touareg SUVs have caused inconvenience to our Chinese customers.”
Court documents claim the Chinese recall is VW's admission that it knows about the defective drain valves but still hasn't warned Touareg drivers their SUVs could fail from clogged drains and waterlogged air filters.
In addition, the SUVs are allegedly worth less than they should be because of the drain valves and the automaker knows it is saving money by not ordering a recall to protect the engines.
The VW Touareg drain valve lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey - Jodi Crandell and Juan Ontiveros, et al., v. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc, et al.
周一美东大雨.
家里俩车停driveway 上.
家里另一辆并排停着的车没问题开走了.
我的 vw touareg 2017 启动就巨大噪音.
开出去不到50米就趴窝了(家门口, 都在坡上, 根本没水).
寻着噪音打开filter box, 看到里面好多水.
车还在 factory warranty.
拖去dealership, 说是我开到水里了.
factory warranty 不管. 说是我的责任. 费用 1600 左右.
查了一下. 这个是 vw touareg 2014 到 2017 款的 drain valve defect .
2018 年已经有 class action lawsuit.
vw china 有 recall , 但是 vw 北美没管.
大家有没有过跟车厂打官司的经历?
这个值得告吗?
任何建议, 万分感谢.

我在PNW 小半年时间都是雨季 也经历了好多次大雨车在外面 目前没有问题 我基本
一两个月会检查一次那个排水阀
多谢兄台
早看到你的文章, 打死都不买这款车.
老老实实日系了
除了这个毛病之前还有其他漏雨的毛病
简直是花钱买遭罪.
准豪华车价格, 普通品牌, dealership 态度很烂.
跟日系豪华车差太多了

国内加装的那块parts怎么都买不到。我回国问4s店，不单卖，只能车开过去免费装
我的16年tdi暂时还没事，不过我把air filter最底端的drain plug拔了

除非从个人或是private车行买，大车行是不会卖这种2手车给个人的。
新车是因为车行并不知道会有问题，不然也是不会卖的。
比如说如果本田发现已知缺陷会发布stop sale,修好了再卖。
