general problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Touareg

2013 volkswagon toureg recall.

Add blue heater system on the diesel engine went bad after less than 42000 miles. I thought this was part of the emission system in this car but vw does not see it this way. They want over 1,000 to fix this on a car the lied about in the first place. Seems to be a big money maker for something to make the car exaust clean.

My daughter was driving and I was with her. She has her permit. My toureg stalled three times. Once at a stop light and short after with her driving. It was very scary and dangerous. In addition, on Wednesday, June 11th. I experienced the same problem. My car is at the dealership close to me. They said they adjusted something with the throttle. I also have had problems with the shaking in the steering wheel at speeds of 65-70 mph. They are aligning it to see if that will solve the problem. I am kind of scared to drive with the stalling problem. I hope this resolves it, otherwise it will be back in the shop! this is something that vw needs to take seriously. I love my car but want it to be safe!.

I was turning across traffic (left). I started to cross traffic and the vehicle stalled, almost seem to die, then recouped and went across. This has happened 2 times in 1000 miles. I almost got hit by on-coming traffic the first time. It is a very serious situation and one that could cause injury, or worse, death. I was told by a vw service manager, at a dealership, that it was a transmission hesitation and that it was normal for a diesel. I have driven diesels all my life and this is not normal for a diesel, or any other vehicle for that matter. I have asked to have a vw representative contact me but have heard nothing so far.
