Description of the problem | 2005 v w toureg stalled many times, while making a turn at intersections at lower speeds, especially when i am trying to accelerate it stalls or hesitates. I came very close to getting killed at least 5 times, i took it to my local dealer to check this problem, but always came out empty. They say they have found no problem. I think it is very serious problem, and it should be addressed promptly before people loose their lives. I have talked to others who are driving this kind of vehicle; at least half of them had the same kind of problem, and were getting no help from their dealers. |
