THE 2006 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SENSORS, FROM THE AIR BAGS TO THE GAS CAP, ON THE CAR THAT HAVE BEEN GOING OFF. WHAT WAS WORST WAS THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE SHOP EVERY OTHER WEEK THIS PAST MONTH. THERE WAS A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN TOLD OF THIS ALONG WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING IN ORDER OF OPERATION. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WERE VERY AWARE OF THIS CONCERN ,AND THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX. THE SENSORS WENT OFF WHILE I DRIVING, AND WHEN PULLING OVER TO CHECK IT. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE GOOD. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND THEN IT RESETS ITSELF. THE LIGHT SENSORS HAVE GONE OFF AND BOTH LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, ONE AT A TIME. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD BE RELEASED, AND IT WILL STILL SHOW THAT IT WAS ON. *AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 60-75MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES DRAMATICALLY. DEALER RE-BALANCED, STILL SHOOK. DEALER REPLACED EAGLE LS2'S AT 32K MILES WITH SAME TIRES AND ROAD-FORCE BALANCED...STILL SHOOK. BASED ON OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, I RECOMMENED THEY TRY GY LATITUDES...ALONG WITH ROAD-FORCE BALANCE AND NITRO FILL, SHAKING HAS BEEN GONE FOR PAST 15K MILES. BUT THIS IS A REPEATABLE EVENT ON FLAT/SMOOTH ROAD SURFACES, AT SPEED. MANY DEALERS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO CORRECT, BASED ON FEEDBACK AT VARIOUS TOUAREG FAN SITES (VW VORTEX, CLUB TOUAREG, ETC.) SEEMS TO IMPACT TDI LUX (MY TRIM) MORE THAN OTHERS, FROM 2011-2013. *TT
