I'm not sure if it's 1mm but if the latch isn't shut and the sensor not activated, the lights on the tailgate do not work.

As far as I know the sensor is not the problem. The strut, a smaller version of the same thing that lifts the hood and tailgate, wears out and doesn't return the pedal to the proper position to...

Common problem. Happened on my '05 Touareg, '06 Cayenne and '07 Q7 (all used the same type of parking brake setup). The fix is to have the strut on the pedal replaced. Bad design if you ask me......

Yup. 06/2006 build delivered in 12/2006. 145,000 miles or so. Wife has been driving it lately as we just had our second child and she likes the bigger backseat compared to the Cayenne.

What if I told you the only failed part I have replaced in 135,000 miles was a bluetooth module? Tires, brakes, oil... usual maintenance otherwise.
