Both left and right headlights failed and would not operate in low beam mode. Upon inspection, I noted that the insulation for the wiring inside each headlight unit was brittle, cracked and in some cases the insulation had fallen completely off. This caused both headlights to ground out and fail, potentially hazardous during vehicle operation and a potential fire hazard.
This 2005 Touareg has given me problems since I got. First it was always the headlights that gave me trouble, then the tires wore out way before the time, the braking system had to be replaced all the way around at about 30,000, now the transmission is slipping or jumping , the coating on the door and on the heating vents is peeling off, I had to have the lock on the door fixed cause that never worked. This truck has been a serious problem since I got it and I feel like it is a lemon.
Volkswagen toureg,2005, headlights go off for no apparent reason. They stay off for several seconds and come back on. On other occasions, only one headlight has gone off and come back on several seconds later. This happens intermittently.
