• Recall 2004259 [Canada]: Label
  Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of cmvss 120. The tire pressure label, located on the driver's side b-pillar, does not indicate the vehicle gvwr and gawr or the recommended wheel rim size. The tire size, rim size and inflation pressure information was also not given on the compliance certification label. However, the combination of the tire information label and the certification label adjacent to each other on the driver side b-pillar provides the gawr, gvwr, tire size and inflation pressure information. Correction: since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

• Srs warning light illumination investigation # PE06022

  My 2004-05 (to 11/2004) touareg vehicles have a potentially faulty/loose side air bag wiring connector that can cause the wiring circuit resistance to exceed the design limit and illuminate the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag light.On 02/2005, vw issued a technical service bulletin (tsb #69-05-02) to address this condition by replacing the connector with a direct connection.Vws testing has shown that proper deployment of the side air bag is not affected by the connector fault.However, there are a large number of warranty claims due to air bag light (abl) illumination.Vw is planning to initiate a "touareg service pack"/ customer satisfaction campaign (csc) in december 2006.Vw will replace the side air bag wiring connector with a direct connection on all remaining uncorrected vehicles built prior to 11/2004.In addition, vw reports that a small number of vehicles built in october and november 2003, may contain an incorrectly manufactured side air bag module.This also may produce abl illumination that would become evident soon after the vehicle is put into service.Warranty data indicates that these modules have been corrected and no longer present a risk.Vw has not received any alleged side air bag non-deployment report.Action taken by the manufacturer is sufficient to resolve the issue raised by this investigation.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

• Exterior door handle malfunction investigation # PE05042

  Vw issued a technical service bulletin (tsb) dated june 10, 2005, describing a condition of "exterior door handle sticks in the opened position after the door is opened."vw described the cause of the problem to be "a potential for increased friction between the door handle and the lock cylinder housing . . . Because some guide nubs that were molded into the plastic door handle . . . Were slightly higher than specified."in addition to the tsb, vw has introduced production changes ("lubrication, deletion of the guide nubs, introduction of a low friction guide surface on the lock cylinder housing") to address the problem.Vw reports that the failure occurs "predominantly in the very early life stage of the vehicle."odi examination of vws warranty data shows fewer claims as the vehicle ages.The one injury resulted when the unlatched door hit the occupants hand.A safety defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.Odi will continue to monitor complaints andreserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

I took my suv to the dealership for a fuel pump recall, about 3,000 miles after my suv is causing problems like start but turn off within 40 seconds. I took it to a local mechanic for diagnosis and he says is the fuel pump. I contacted the dealership but they are kind of unresponsive...No advisors available, no returned calls (volkswagen south coast santa ana ca).

Overall life of car have had to replace the majority of the hoses in the engine, the fuel line, the emergency brake release leavor-3 times, the horn on the passenger and drivers side. And with the recall the gas flange - cracking. The product vw uses in this vehicle is inferior- plastic expands when hot and contracts when cold= cracking. Please recall this vehicle due to the potential of the gas flange or whatever else is related to the gas before anyone in my family or others die. Or my cas goes up into flames causing severe trauma- especially because you already know there is a problem. We have paid thousands of dollars in repair costs in this vehicle that vw of america will not help - the entire enterrier plastic coating to the vehicle has melted - the drivers side visitor hangs as the spring action or what ever it's called is broken. We have owned many cars, fords, toyota's, honda's and several vws. The touareg and all of primary safety features should always function safely-the gas issue is a major issue that should automatically be a recall to save lives!

The contact later called stone mountain volkswagen at (678) 367-4286 (located at 3500 stone mountain hwy, snellville, ga 30078) and was informed to schedule an appointment.

When i get gas for my touareg 2005 i'll shut the suv off pop open the fuel box door and put the gas in then as i put cap back on shut door get in the suv i try to start the suv but it seems as if the cars either out of gas or battery has died so after the first like say 4-6 times of this happening to me i tried to leave the car running as i put the gas in the suv in hopes of it still remain on and running but sure enough the suvs battery light will pop on and the car will lose life but the lights and stuff still remain on but no driving happening so i'd have to turn the key off then try and start it up again but as i turn the key i'll have to pump the gas peddle a bunch to catch the flow i guess

Vehicle cabin could smell gas, factory issued letter to us with recall and free repair and replacement, but after contact vw dealership, the dealership refuse to repair it for free, quote 480 dollars for fixing this recall issue.

Gasoline leaking from the tank runs over the right-side exhaust tubes to the ground. The flow of the fuel leakage is very high at a drop-rate of more than one drop per second with the vehicle parked and the engine running at idle speed. Once the engine is turned off the leakage stops within short time. I got aware of the defect due to the strong gasoline smell after stopping and getting off the vehicle. I investigated and saw gasoline dropping to the ground between the rear wheels. The fact that the fuel is running over the exhaust tube made me ground the vehicle immediately for safety reasons. Although i need this vehicle i decided to keep it grounded due to the high risk that the gasoline gets ignited by the hot exhaust tube.

Fuel leaking at fuel pump flange. Strong fuel vapor odor in the cabin while driving and parked.
