2004 TOUAREG V6 ENGINE HAS BEEN A TORMENT, WITH 40 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS! BUT TWO OF THE PROBLEMS COULD BE CONSIDERED SAFETY CONCERNS! ERADICATE BRAKING WITH LURCHING AND ACCELERATION HESITATION BOTH OF WHICH SET UP AN UNPREDICTABLE DRIVING STYLE! BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE MAGNIFIED WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN. THE DRIVER CAN NOT DEPEND ON A ASSURED PERFORMANCE AT CRITICAL TIMES . A DRIVER MUST HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT HIS OR HER VEHICLE WILL PERFORM WITH ASSURANCE AT ALL TIMES !*JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR
WE PURCHASED A VW TOUAREG 2005, IN MAY 2005, THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT IS JAMMED AND CAN NOT LIFT UP REAR SEAT WITHOUT CUTTING THE SEAT BELT. VW SERVICE HAS HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO BE ABLE TO PUT THE SEAT BACK UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES 3/1/06, 4/10/06 & 6/9/06. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WE PUT OUR SEATS DOWN TO LOAD THE BACK WITH STUFF, AND THEN TRY TO PUT THE SEAT BACK UP INTO SITTING POSITION. *NM UPDATED *JB
