04 touareg lasted me 3 wks !!! It was fine then I put it in reverse and slammed on the gas and it did fine but all of a sudden it felt like I slammed on the brakes and the wheels locked up I put it in drive started fine until I got into 2nd gear and the wheels locked up!!!! Now there is no reverse period !!! But it will drive in 1st gear as long as it doesn't shift! Could it be the tranny? Or transfer case?? Because If you mess with the high and low options now it says system failure! In red??? There is no check engine or anything else but its really dangerous... Anyone else had this problem?

That's not abuse Javiers, you're treg should handle this, some make it sound like the Treg is a wimp of a car when it comes to putting it in reverse.
The Treg is spec'd to have a towing capacity of about 7,700 pounds and include the weight of the treg, that tells you there are a heck of forces at play within the tranny especially at uphills meaning the treg's tranny should handle that.
I have a 3,000lb boat that I have to reverse uphill into storage which I have been doing for about 3 years now and the treg does it with ease. There's even a bump in the path that I have to to give quite some gas to get the boat's wheels over the bump.
So the scenario that Javiers explains is something the treg should handle for a $50K all wheel drive SUV and dont see how it can be considered abuse.

IIRC, the hill-holder feature is not even available on USDM models unless the trans is recoded for Euro/ROW setting. OP, do you know what Trans-coding you were on. I realize you only had it for 3 weeks, but hoping you know the answer to this.
Hill hold is available on all US Tregs, but typically only in low range. It is not active in hi unless you code it to do so as you said.

I don't know the answer about the hill holder but I Got the t-reg because it was supposed to be a strong car and that they drove great but if it's going to be a pain in the @ss I think I will trade it in

Any car can go wrong - even new ones - but the older they get, the more likely it is to happen.

If you've never done one, go somewhere where they'll teach you how to do it.

If that dodge charger could handle it I don't see why I can't drive this 4x4 suv like that

Somewhere between 256 and 321 Chargers were used in the making of that show and only 17 still exist.

...I back up into my driveway, it's a rule I use, to always back up to my destination parking stop unless I can clear out going forward anyways. Unfortunately, my once upon a time quiet street has been picking up on traffic, and alas people who blow the stop sign a few hundred meters from my house. On two occasions, as I was preparing to back up, my spider sense tingled...and sure enough, I figured below 10 seconds before rear end impact.

Considering your stories of 100+mph with your passat and 35mph in reverse another time I am not suprised lol. Best of luck with it.
