Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Touareg

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 vw Touareg. The contact received a recall notice under NHTSA campaign number: 17v583(fuel system, gasoline) but did not have the vehicle immediately serviced. The contact stated while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle enough times for him to make home. The contact took the vehicle to Volkswagen of huntington 838 e jericho turnpike, huntington station, NY 11746 (631) 533-5222 where he was informed that the two fuel pumps had failed and needed to be replaced out of pocket; he was informed that the fuel pumps were not covered under recall. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and gave the contact the same information as the dealer; they offered no further assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 160,000. Jo.

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.
