2005 Volkswagen TOUAREG Seat Belts Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	924686
Internal NHTSA #	10461787
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TOUAREG
Model Year	2005
File date	09/06/12
Component	SEAT BELTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I manually lowered the rear seat back to allow increased cargo area. After removing the cargo, i could not raise the rear seat back to it's upright position. The center seat belt had locked it self in a way holding the seat back down not allowing the seat back to be raised to an upright position. A recall was issued 3-28-2005 regarding this dangerous seat belt malfunction problem effecting 50483 vehicles but fell short in failing to include the center rear seat belt in the recall. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer are legally obliged to fix this situation at their cost. At this time my only option is to pay the dealer to un-bolt all three rear seat belts from the frame, remove and disassemble the entire rear seat, remove the center seat belt from inside the seat back, install a new and working seat belt assembly and finally, put the car back together all to the tune of their hourly rate plus parts. In the mean time, my 5 passenger car is a 2 passenger car. Hope to have a response soon. Thank you for your attention in this frustrating situation.
