2004 VW TOUAREG V8. THESE VEHICLES EXHIBITS FREQUENT BUT INCONSISTENT DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS ISSUE ARISES MOST OFTEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE DRIVER COMES TO A ROLLING STOP.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND WILL BE TAKING IT AGAIN NEXT MONDAY;HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM.

ON TWO OCCASIONS MY 2004 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG V-8 EXPERIENCED COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON THESE TWO OCCASIONS.

FIRST INCIDENT WAS APRIL,…
