general problems of the 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

I have contacted Volkswagen about my recall over a month ago the man claimed he ordered the parts and would be in contact but has never contacted me ever since and since then my vehicle has completely stopped working and the gas smell is at a very dangerous level.

The flange for the fuel does not leak from that I can see couse if it was leaking it would be on the ground.

SUV is not getting gas to engine.

Fuel flank was sealed by the dealership. However, there is fuel leaking.

The Touareg made some rattling noise while I was driving at 35 mph. As soon I stopped and made it my destination and turned off the car the car wouldn't start up. I took it to the dealership and the dealership couldn't figure out why the car wouldn't start. Finally, after a well over a week, they determined that I needed to replace all six fuel injectors. The fuel injectors got replaced now the car turns on but as soon as you step on the gas the car dies.

There was a recall issued on my vehicle back on September 20th 2017, I called the dealership on October 23rd 2017 to find out a resolution to this problem, they advised there was not a remedy yet but would contact me when there was. It has not been almost 6 months since the recall was issued with no contact from dealer or resolution. This vehicle is used by my wife to transport my children and it is unsafe, as we have started to smell gasoline in and around the vehicle, I have no noticed any major leaks yet but I do not want her driving the vehicle until it is fixed and it should not take 6 months to do so.

I received a safety recall 20ai regarding my Volkswagen Touareg, it is a serious safety recall as it involves the fuel possible leakage; however, the recall repair is not yet available, and I am supposed watch out for fuel leak/smell !!! I am now not enjoying driving my car and feeling it is safe anymore for kids. I am requesting that this safety recall be fixed right now. I don't know how, but probably the car maker knows, as he knew how to manufacture, sell and make profit out of these cars.

Fuel flange is defective on this truck but is excluded by vw for some strange reason considering it only mention Touaregs starting at 2007 &2010 they all have the same part that's defective the dealership refuses to cover my vehicle and they confirmed this serious problem why is this year 2004 not covered.

Some weeks ago, the tv news reported a recall for my vehicle. I have had no other notification. I have lived here for 51 years and haven't changed my phone number. What is most disturbing is that your website knows nothing about this!!! besides cashing your paycheck, what else do you do to justify breathing???.

One morning in June 2017 my husband stopped for gas. After getting gas he started to turn out of the gas station when our car (2004 Volkswagen Touareg) stopped moving and shut down. My husband tried several times to start and move the car, but to no avail. The car had to be towed (at our expense) to our local gas station. The gas station performed $1,164. 16 worth of work. They did an excellent job of locating the problem and fixing it for a reasonable price. In November 2017 we received a safety recall notice from Volkswagen. The recall is 'safety recall 20ai - fuel filter flange. ' however, the recall notice stated that vw does not have a fix yet for the issue. This appears to be the issue that happened to our car. We chatted online with a vw agent, explained everything and she said that there was nothing they could do at this point. The vw agent provided me with a case #(171803619), but said that there was no fix and, that until vw came up with a fix, there would be no way that we could recoup our money spent. We didn't understand how they do not have a fix, since it happened to our car and it's fixed and running fine today. We'd like to recoup our money spent out of pocket for what seems to be a safety recall which no one is doing anything about.

Fuel flange on driver side is cracking and leaking fuel under pressure. There is a recall on the 2007 - 2010 models. Mine is suffering the same problem.

Drive it short distance and it won't start again for hours! have taken it to vw to put on brakes and asked them to check it out, found nothing! they have known about this recall since April 2017 shows air bag light on all the time !.

Smelt fuel coming from rear bench seat - - opened covers to see cracks in both fuel filter cartridges. Had the fuel filters and cartridges on both sides replaced and checked by vw dealership in fairfield, CA.
