WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP VEHICLE INTERMITENTLY HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE ENGINE IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE OR THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN PULLING INOT TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET OR MAKING ALEFT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST REA-ENDED THE OTHER DAY. I ALSO FEEL THAT IF I MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO ONGOING TRAFFIC WITH A NORMAL MARGIN OF SAFETY, THE VEHICLE COULD HESTITATE AND I COULD BE HIT HEAD-ON OR BROADSIDED. IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY LOADED IN NEW ECU FIRMWARE AND NEW TCU FIRMWARE. IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VOLKSWAGON FACTORY ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A NEW FIRMWARE RELEASE AND SHOULD HAVE IT OUT THE FIRST PART OF DECEMBER 2004. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME TO INSTALL THE NEW FIRMWARE WHEN AVAILABLE.*AK

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2004-2007 Touareg vehicles. These gasoline-powered vehicles have a fuel filter flange that may crack, allowing fuel to leak.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel filter flange for cracks, replacing the flange if cracks are found. If no cracks are found, a protective cover will be installed onto the filter flange. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 9, 2018. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 20Ai.
Dec 15, 2004
CERTAIN PASSENGER CARS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." ALL THREE REAR SEAT POSITIONS AND THE FRONT PASSENGER POSITION ARE EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELT RETRACTORS THAT HAVE A LOCKING FEATURE WHICH CONVERTS THE RETRACTOR FROM AN EMERGENCY LOCKING RETRACTOR (ELR) MODE TO AN AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR (ALR) MODE FOR THE PURPOSES OF CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION. THE BELT MAY DEACTIVATE THE ALR MODE WITH CERTAIN CHILD RESTRAINTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THE CHILD RESTRAINTS MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY INSTALL A 'CLIP' IN EACH OF THE TWO REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS. THE CLIPS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED DEACTIVATION OF THE ALR MODE WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 11, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT VW AT 1-800-822-8987.
May 19, 2004
