general problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Touareg

I get dizzy every time I drive my 2006 Volkswagen Touareg. There is a fuel smell inside the cabin and outside of the driver's rear wheel well. I noticed this during the short time I park in my garage. Since, the noticeable smell, I have been parking outside and have since minimized by use of the vehicle. I love the vehicle, but I am getting headaches and dizziness while driving it. Upon looking up more information on the fuel smell, I came across Volkswagen manufacture safety recall 20ai and 20z4. Since I last spoke of community Volkswagen of santa maria, they said that the recall has been repaired. However, after further research, this is an open recall and is still eligible to be repaired. Please advise me on my next steps so as to not be in a dangerous situation while driving this vehicle. Thank you.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Touareg. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v583000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to autonation Volkswagen of las vegas (6375 w sahara Ave, las vegas, nv 89146, (702) 605-5802), but the part for the repair was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 91,287. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I have taken this vehicle to the Volkswagen dealer because of a fuel smell and a sudden jolt that I get undercarriage when driving. They have told me that they are not sure where the jolt is coming from they don't know if it is the transmission or a fuel leak. I'm very afraid to continue driving this vehicle. I have a small child and I would like for Volkswagen to buy the vehicle back from me. Please see enclosed letter from vw. Thank you!.

While having vehicle looked at oil change place I complained to attendant about strong fuel odor. He looked under vehicle and saw a gas drip near exhaust system. He looked under seat and removed compartment for pump. He said looked like a defective piece on top that was seeping gas through membrane. Have stopped driving vehicle for fear of explosion or fire.

I got my car repaired for this issue after smelling gas leakage before vw released the relevant recall campaign. I sent vw all receipt for repair paid by my pocket money, but vw refused to reimburse for my expense because I got it repaired too early. I did on 09/17/2014 but vw states that only the repair was done between 09/20/2016 and 03/19/2018. This is ridiculous answer. I am here attaching all the receipt and the letter from vw . Car is currently in motion after repair.
