The Volkswagen Touareg has been the subject of numerous complaints regarding its transmission, such as experiencing cracks in the valve body and producing a loud revving noise when shifting from third to fourth gear, accompanied by a clunking sound. Some drivers have also noted high temperatures coming from the gearbox, which can cause discomfort as well as potentially pose a safety risk due to overheating. J.D. Power has given the Touareg a reliability rating of 3.0 out of 5, indicating it is somewhat dependable but still falls near the bottom of its class. The transmission problem is a significant factor contributing to its lower reliability ranking.
