Description of the problem | Vehicle sounds as if it is bottoming out when driving over uneven surfaces or small dips at any speed. Noise is mostly in the front with heavy concentration on the passenger front tire. Particularly around 30-40 miles per hour. Vehicle has previously been in (after 3 days of owning it 03/09/2019 for a rear shock replacement on the drivers rear). After owning the vehicle for 6 months the noise has gotten worse. Brought it to the dealer again 08/17/2019 and no issues were found. I took the tech on a long test drive on the roads (parkway) i travel daily max speed is 45. He heard the noise and stated i was maxing out my suspension (this was at 30mph) and the noise i was hearing was the suspension hitting the bumpers underneath and not the actual vehicle, this was completely normal. Noise can also be heard going over speed bumps and driveway curbs at even lower speeds). I have driven other tiguans and volkswagon models on the same roads and this does not appear to happen. My vehicle currently does not show under the any current coil recalls. I would like someone to please revisit this vin to see if this vehicle could also be part of the recall. |
