2006 Volkswagen Touareg owner complaints

I got my car repaired for this issue after smelling gas leakage before vw released the relevant recall campaign. I sent vw all receipt for repair paid by my pocket money, but vw refused to reimburse for my expense because I got it repaired too early. I did on 09/17/2014 but vw states that only the repair was done between 09/20/2016 and 03/19/2018. This is ridiculous answer. I am here attaching all the receipt and the letter from vw . Car is currently in motion after repair.

I have a vw touareg v8 2006. On saturday 12/01/18 I took the car to vw david maus dealer @lee rd, orlando, fl for the safety recall -fuel pump flange replacement'- after they performed the job, my car stated to misfires, decrease in power and acceleration and it shut off while driving. They want me to authorize them to perform a diagnostic test , that will cost me $155. On 12 /3/18 I spoke to the service manager , she said she was told the problem is the fuel pump. , so I don't know why they insist on the diagnostic test if they know what is the problem. They broke the fuel pump and now they want me to be responsible for that expense and the repairs. I refuse to paid for the diagnostic and repairs, , because my car was fine. They broke the parts so they should be responsible

I have taken this vehicle to the Volkswagen dealer because of a fuel smell and a sudden jolt that I get undercarriage when driving. They have told me that they are not sure where the jolt is coming from they don't know if it is the transmission or a fuel leak. I'm very afraid to continue driving this vehicle. I have a small child and I would like for Volkswagen to buy the vehicle back from me. Please see enclosed letter from vw. Thank you!

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen touareg. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 17v583000 (fuel system, gasoline), but did not have the vehicle immediately serviced. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle enough times for him to drive home. The contact took the vehicle to Volkswagen of huntington (838 e jericho turnpike, huntington station, ny 11746, (631) 533-5222) and was informed that the two fuel pumps failed and needed to be replaced at his expense. The contact was informed that the fuel pumps were not covered under the recall. The manufacturer was notified and provided the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 160,000.

I get dizzy every time I drive my 2006 Volkswagen Touareg. There is a fuel smell inside the cabin and outside of the driver's rear wheel well. I noticed this during the short time I park in my garage. Since, the noticeable smell, I have been parking outside and have since minimized by use of the vehicle. I love the vehicle, but I am getting headaches and dizziness while driving it. Upon looking up more information on the fuel smell, I came across Volkswagen Manufacture Safety recall 20Ai and 20Z4. Since I last spoke of Community Volkswagen of Santa Maria, they said that the recall has been repaired. However, after further research, this is an Open Recall and is still eligible to be repaired. Please advise me on my next steps so as to not be in a dangerous situation while driving this vehic

While having vehicle looked at oil change place I complained to attendant about strong fuel odor. He looked under vehicle and saw a gas drip near exhaust system. He looked under seat and removed compartment for pump. He said looked like a defective piece on top that was seeping gas through membrane. Have stopped driving vehicle for fear of explosion or fire. *tr

Vehicle was smelling like gas - thought it was due to running over debris but no damage to tank found in inspection. Mechanic removed tank shields and straps and found that the fuel pump flange was leaking due to a crack and needed to be replaced along with connector seal. Car owner has the part if it needs to be sent in for review. Did research and noticed that 2007-2010 vw touareg's were recalled for this exact issue (https://www.NHTSA.gov/vehicle/2007/Volkswagen/touareg/4%252520dr/AWD#recalls). Want to ensure that this recall should not be widened as research on several vw owner sites have noted this same issue with more years. Owner called vw to put in complaint but was told the car is not under recall and that there is nothing they could do. Mechanic bill attached - p

Constant squeaking brakes when I came off of the brakes, not pushing down this occurred for several weeks. I took in to dealer, was initially told no problem existed it was brake dust, and may need more expensive pads. I took it back about 1 month later (sept 2007) at my 20k mile check and was told I needed whole new front brakes. *tr

After less than 27,000 miles, the dealer stated I needed new rotors and brakes on my touareg at a cost of $800.00. *jb

2006 Volkswagen touareg. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory customer service at dealership concerning several vehicle repairs. *smd the consumer stated from the beginning, the vehicle had problems. The navigation system malfunctioned. The unit was removed and installed again. The front and rear brakes were replaced, the EVAP purge valve was replaced, the ignition coils were replaced, corrosion built up in the sensor and wiring of the headlight, and the wiring and headlight were replaced. The check engine light illuminated, due to a faulty purge valve, for the third time. While driving on the freeway, the consumer felt vibrations and heard loud noises under the center arm rest. It was discovered the propeller shaft was broken. Also, the front brake pads material, was metal on m

Headlight wiring insulation has melted creating several shorts and causing the headlights to stop working completely. It appears to be all of the wiring heading to and including the headlight. It has caused false codes to appear as well.

I have a 2006 vw touareg only a month old with 2,700 miles. I was not operating the vehicle at the time which was a good thing. I left work started my touareg and is shut off right away and would not start and the key was locked in the ignition. I had to be towed to my local dealer. It was in the shop for two weeks and there was a faulty control module. It was repaired but who knows how long it will last. From my research it appears this exact situation has occurred in the 2004 model year also which was their first year of production. It could have been deadly if this module fialed while driving because I would have had no control of the vehicle. It's terrible to see there has not been a correction since the 2004 model year to address this issue. The touareg has hand many problems since it

My airbag fault light has been on for a few months now and I'm getting concerned. Was there a recall or what is the best way to fix this problem?

Fuel smell on the rear passenger side coming from the fuel filter tank area. Fuel tank is located at the bottom the rear seats. The fuel fumes are very strong we are afraid the car might catch fire. The fumes smell like fresh fuel. The fuel fumes are very strong especially after using the car after a 3 mile round trip grocery errands. *tr

The outside rear of the car smelled like gas. After looking under the car we noticed a puddle of gas collecting after stopping the vehicle. The dealer told us the driver side fuel pump has a crack leaking fuel. This is a serious problem and has to be addressed before somene dies. It is a hazard to my family and the public as a whole. Apparently vw has done a recall for this for later model year touareg, but not the 2006. They refuse to fix it due to age?! In all the years I've been driving, I've never had a fuel pump that cracks and spews gas all over the road. In order to even find the problem, they had to take out all of the rear seats, cut through the carpet of the vehicle, and open up two vents through the floor of the SUV. This is a serious hazard. So if I hadn't smelled the

While traveling at highway speed, began to hear a thunking noise consistent with a flat tire. After further inspection determined the noise was originating from the underside of the vehicle in the center. Dealer was able to diagnose as a failed carrier bearing over the phone as it is a "recurring issue" (dealer's words). Since this was only a "recurring issue and not a problem", Volkswagen stuck me with a $1483 repair bill and a week without a car or loaner vehicle. *tr

I own a 2006 vw touareg. It has only 54k miles and has never been driven off road. It has been a family car and bought new in 2006. Just yesterday sept 2009 I left a parking lot and began accelerating when it sounded like and felt like the car lost the front two tires. I quickly pulled over thinking I would see blown tires but saw nothing. Got back in drove a 100 feet to have the same noise and shaking. I pulled over and had it towed to nearest vw shop. Found out the drive shaft was shot. $1100 for the part and only $65 to install new drive shaft. Mechanic thought it was interesting that the local vw dealer happen to have one in stock. He thought it meant they must be having this problem with a lot of touaregs. I am going to call vw in hopes that they will take some responsibility. Is this

I had my touareg in puerto rico for over 10 years in storage. Since car had not used for normally business days. The headlight cables and lights are got bad. All cables got dry and broke in the outside cause the heat of the island. The control unit got bad. All front light sistem doesnot work correctly. The vehicle only have 86000 miles.

Upon driving the vehicle on the night in question, out of nowhere, a light came on and said coolant overheated. I was driving on the dallas tollway, and pulled over immediately, and the vehicle shut down completely. I called a tow truck, and had the vehicle towed, and was told maybe the battery was bad. I purchased a new battery the next day, but the vehicle still would not start. I then had it towed to the dealer, and was told that I needed a new engine. I couldn't understand how an engine could go out at less than 60,000 miles. I've been fighting with vw to have the problem resolved, but they have refused to do so. They've had my vehicle for 2 months now, and the problem still hasn't been resolved. I plan to pursue litigation. *tr

While driving the vehicle it will slow down and will not accelerate even while pressing the gas. It may even cut off. I have to keep pushing the pedal maybe 3 to 5 times before it will accelerate. This happens even on the freeway. I don't drive it anymore because of fear I might have an accident.
