Description of the problem	I've been having various problems with the electrical system on my 2004 vw touareg from the purchase date of 08/19/03. The alarm would sound, without cause, the doors would not unlock and various switches would not work at times. All of the problems were random. I brought the car in for repair several times. But, the problems were not fixed. In april 2006, my car battery was replaced because it was no longer handling a charge. The battery change was a warranty item. After the battery change, the electrical problems became more frequent. My turn signals began to act up. When i signal for a right turn, the blinker will click to the left one to three times, then to the right. I told murrieta vw about the problem and brought the car in for warranty service on 06/30/06. They couldn't find a "fault code" and couldn't make the car duplicate the problem. So, they didn't fix the car. I video taped the problem five times, on two different occasions after the 06/30/06. I also have two different witnesses who witnessed the problem. I e mailed the videos to murrieta vw and scheduled an appointment. I brought the car back on 07/08. Murrieta vw wasn't able to diagnose the problem. I feel that the car is now dangerous. If i were to signal a right turn at an intersection, with an oncoming car assuming that i am turning left because of a defective turn signal, i could end up in an accident. I'm not looking for special treatment from vw. I just want my car fixed. 2004 vw touareg serial# w v g c m 67 l 04 d 002863. *jb
