This is a well documented problem all over the web yet VW and to date the NHTSA refuse to address the issue. Maybe there is a requirement that at least 13 people die (GM) before anyone does something about it. Problem is with transmission which causes car to jolt forward as if it is getting rammed in the rear of the vehicle. Can cause loss of control, whip lash, rear ending, etc...

I have a 2005 Touareg with 74,000 miles. I had to replace the drive shaft after because of a faulty ball bearing which produced a high pitched noise.
