Electrical System Problems of Volkswagen Touareg - part 2

My vehicle, a 2004 vw Touareg looses power, the volt meter drops to zero and then the turn signals stop working. All the lights in the vehicle dim and if you switch the vehicle off, it will not start again. The vehicle was drive a few hours earlier, with no problems. This has been a re-occurring problem with the vehicle at the dealership at least 5 or more times in a 2 month period.

Passenger door opened going down the road, handle does not retract sometimes. A litany of electric quirks and excessive tire wear, also jerky acceleration.

The radio display system (displays radio station info,song title, and artist) quit working. The dealer has reconnected the radio and replaced the radio. Each time it works fine for a few hours after returning home then it quits displaying information. The dealer said the radio isn't designed to display this info, yet it worked for a month after getting the vehicle! it works on my other car. The radio is the upgrade monsoon system with cd.

The vehicle hesitates on acceleration, and this happens intermittently. While stepping on the gas pedal and the vehicle hesitates. The consumer took the vehicle to dealer, and they said this was normal, but they did say Volkswagen programmed a delay in the computer chip. There is no forewarning, no lights come on, and there is no noise. This first happened on March 1, 2005.

1. The clock on the dashboard: the time is running almost 1 minute faster per day. If you don’t fix it for 10 days, it would run 10 minutes ahead. 2. The driver’s seat: when I purchased this car, I asked for power seats but the dealer didn’t have it. I was a little uncomfortable with the manual seat, but the sales person convinced me, so I decided to take the one with manual. Since then, I’ve felt that the driver’s seat is always sinking down so I consistently have to pull up the stick to push up the seat quite often while I’m driving. 3. Rear seat: I had to fold the rear seat once to load something in the back. After, I tried to unfold the seat but it didn’t go back. I brought this car to the dealer’s service on Nov. 15th, 2004. While one of the service persons was trying to unfold the rear seat, he had to cut the seat belt and has scratched the seat and broken some piece on the seat. He said he’s going to order some parts and it would take a few days. Ever since then, nobody knows the status of this order. Both the service dept and the “customer care� dept, in headquarters have always been telling me “it’s on backorder� with “no further information�, and they “don’t know when� for last six months. I asked them “if you don’t have the part, even in germany, how long will it take for the manufacturer to make the part?� and they keep saying is “don’t know� and “we are still checking the status of the part everyday. €� in a common sense, the period of four months should be enough time to make the part and ship it to the dealer. I also sent a complaint letter to the ceo of the dealer/mckenna & vw north America headquater a couple of months ago. But still they don't know about the part.

2004 vw Touareg, in the first year of ownership the car has been in the shop or in alarm mode for 220 days. I have had the car in eight times for a "tire scrubbing" problem and three times for an alarm problem. I have noe filed a law suit and sold the car without ever hearing any concerns from vw.

The electronic safety program module malfunctioned. As a result, driver lost control of the vehicle while driving 65 mph.
