I bought a new 2004 touareg in dallas. Two to three weeks into driving it, the navigation system/radio/cd went completely "dark" and stopped working. It's now stuck on one radio station. Nothing else works and the screen IS 100% black. The dealership told me that they a) have no replacement unit b) there IS not a unit in the USA c) they can't ship one from germany d) they won't disable a car on the lot and swap units and e) that I have to return my loan car and drive my touareg until a part comes in (which may be never according to them). I asked for either a new car or all of my money back. They refused that as well. At this point I have kept their loan car and my lawyer served papers on the gm of the dealership this morning. I really hope that either volkswagenor the dealership does the right thing.*ak
