problem #1

Oct 052005

Touareg 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles
My 2004 V6 Volkswagen Touareg frequently stalls after the engine is cranked. This has been a problem since we purchased the vehicle in Oct 2004. After cranking you can press all the way down on the gas pedal but the car will not move at all. After a few seconds, it will sputter a little then move then sputter again then it will drive normally. There is no way to tell when this will happen and I am concerned that it will cause an accident if I start the vehicle then pull out into oncoming traffic.
