general problems of the 2005 Volkswagen Touareg

My obd port cannot be read. It will not communicate, or I cannot communicate with the vehicle using any obd reading software. Myself or my mechanic. This is a major safety concern due to several reasons. Most importantly, I'm being told that it can affect, or it's probably caused by, electrical problems that are well known on this particular model and year for this maker. Something's wrong with it, where it's either being shorted somewhere, or for whatever reason, because it's not communicating. It's caused the vehicle to shut off randomly, sometimes it will allow you to restart, and then sometimes it will not. And this is a cause of concern if and when I drive on the highway.

Due to a leak in either the sunroof or the windshield water continuously drips down every time it rains onto the floorboard of the driver side of this vehicle, creating a sopping wet floor board that has 2 inches of water, which in turn soaks the whole electrical system for this vehicle. I mean the water continuously drips from the time you purchase this vehicle until forever I guarantee that anybody who has a v8 version of the 2005 Volkswagen Touareg has a sopping wet driver, side floor board! the water never has a chance to dry, especially in colder climates mine went into limp mode due to this electrical system, failing. Vw mechanics told me I needed a whole new engine w! when I did my research and I found out that this is very common on this model, and if there are some wires that inevitably get corroded from all the water that ruins the electrical system underneath the driver side floor board, and therefore the wires become corroded and severed which creates a real problem for the electrical system to function.

After doing major research with other owners of like year and model I have discovered that I'm not the only one that is experiencing headlight electronics or headlight electrical system within the headlight assembly frying the electrical wires, cracking the brittle wire coating and exposing many of the electrical wires together within the housing unit of the headlight assembly. This caused many short circuits headlights shutting off at random times but most importantly shutting off at night on a dark highway. Depending on the bumps and bruises of the streets would cause the wires to touch each other and short circuit. Although this is a 17-year-old vehicle but I've never experienced electrical components being degraded this much for like like age of any vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg. The contact stated that each time it rained, water accumulated on the front driver side floor through the front driver side door. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the wires on the front driver side floor were corroded and needed to be replaced. 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. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
