2010 Volkswagen Touareg problems

“Previous recall in 2017 regarding fuel filter housing cracks and seals has failed. In 2017 it was approved to allow VW to use cellophane sticky tape to cover the fuel filter crack in plastic housing. It has failed. The car has 43,000 miles, the cabin has strong odor smell. The left rear wheel arch has extremely strong gasoline smell. How was VW able to get approval to fix a serious fuel leak with sticky tape?”

“my 2010 vw touareg tdi 3.0 have 2 service campaign 23r3 and 26k2 which is commonly known for vw tdi diesel scandal. i took my car to vw they said they will replace the catalytic converts and knox sensors. and the ad blue box. today i got a call stating that my car will not get a catalytic converter that's epa compliant. and they can only do computer software and replce 2 glow plugs out of the 6 and that's cant be done before i replace a knox sensor which is the service campaign is for then when the check engine light is off i can take it back to vvw to replace the parts and program the computer. or pay then $900 for that sensor.”

“AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE PASSING LANE. VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS LUCKY TRAFFIC ALLOWED ME TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD ALTHOUGH SEMI TRUCK WAS ON MY SIDE WHEN IT DIED. VEHICLE TOWED TO FIND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF FUEL SYSTEM. REPAIR REPLACED WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM ($10,000 VALUE). DEALER ADVISED THIS IS DUE TO BIO DIESEL PURCHASED IN ILLINOIS. FUEL PUMP DESTRUCTS AND VEHICLE FAILS. VW ACKNOWLEDGED THE FUEL ISSUE BUT NEVER SAID THIS WHEN WE PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. VERY UNSAFE AND VEHICLE IS ONLY USED FOR LOCAL USE UNTIL WE CAN SELL OR TRADE IN. WE WERE LUCKY.... VW TECH TOLD ME TO FILE WITH NTSB AS HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE. *TR”

“VW ABS CONTROL MODULE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR DID NOT INCLUDE 2010 TOUAREGS. HOWEVER, I OWN 2 OF THEM AND BOTH HAVE AN ABS MODULE ISSUE. AS DOES MY MOTHER IN LAW'S 2010 TIGUAN. PLEASE LOOK INTO EXTENDING THE RECALL TO THESE MODEST. ATTACHED IS THE $2,839 ESTIMATE FROM A VW DEALER TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE. THAT IS AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO PAY FOR A GENTLY USED CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE WHICH HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. THANK YOU. [XXX] CELL *TR”

“WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER/TURNED OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO NOISES, NO VIBRATIONS, NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING. VEHICLE STALLED AT FREEWAY SPEED AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO VW DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) HAD FAILED. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF MIS-FUELING (NO GAS IN TANK WHEN TESTED), CONTAMINANTS ARE UNKNOWN. IT SEEMS THAT THE HPFP IS NOT DESIGNED TO PERFORM WITHIN THE TOLERANCES NECESSARY TO OPERATE SAFELY AND RELIABLY ON 'PUMP FUEL' AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS; IT IS MECHANICALLY DEFECTIVE AND CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO HIGHWAY SAFETY. REQUEST ENGINEERING ANALYSIS. *TR”

“TAKATA RECALL FOR AIRBAG DASH LIGHT ON. ALSO, CHECK 'ENGINE LIGHT' FOR DIESEL DEF HEATING ELEMENT FAULT. BOTH LIGHTS APPEARED WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE/STATIONARY AND HAVE REMAINED ON EVER SINCE.”
