AS A LESSOR OR 2013 VOLKSWAGON PASSAT SE, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COMPANY FOR NOT INFORMING ME ABOUT AN IMPORTANT RECALL INFORMATION, IMPACTING MY SAFETY. I SEE THAT THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEB, 2016, BUT I HAVE'NT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE UNTIL NOW. PLEASE ISSUE ME A CREDIT FOR THIS BIG MISTAKE ON YOUR COMPANY'S PART. PLEASE WAIVE ALL MY CLOSING COST AND END OF LEASE FEES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NHTSA 14V125000 / VW RECALL 94G8/7V - HEADLAMP HOLDER FAILURE(S) I HAVE HAD THE CAR EXPERIENCE THE "APPARENT" HEADLAMP FAILURE & REPLACED THE HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM - DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) ONLY TO HAVE THE LAMPS FAIL AGAIN. THE HEADLAMPS DO NOT USE A TRADITIONAL SOCKET & WIRE COMBINATION, BUT RATHER THE BULB IS INSERTED IN A BULB HOLDER & THEN SCREWED INTO A SOCKET WITH A RUBBER COVER PLACED BEHIND TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED AT NIGHT. AS I PULLED THE RUBBER COVER OFF, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON (LIKE A SHORTED WIRE). I REPLACED THE BULB & TWISTED INTO PLACE & THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY FOR A MONTH. SINCE THEN, MULTIPLE LAMP RESETS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED (BOTH DRIVERS & PASSENGER SIDE). THE "FIXES" HAVE GONE FROM WEEKS TO ONLY DAYS IN DURATION & REQUIRE ME TO STOP & RESET THE LAMPS AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY & NIGHT TO AVOID VISION & POTENTIAL LEGAL PROBLEMS FOR "FAULTY EQUIPMENT." IN THE LAST DAY, DESPITE PLACING NEW DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SOCKET, EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR I'M REQUIRED TO RESET THE BULB & SOCKET. THIS IS BOTH ANNOYING & DANGEROUS (THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT 4AM). LUCKILY, I'VE GOTTEN SO GOOD AT THIS I CAN DO IT IN THE DARK. I CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE & WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN WASN'T IN THE RECALL RANGE, BUT THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT & DETERMINE IF THEY COULD ASSIST. THIS "OUT OF VIN RANGE" SITUATION MAY BE MORE COMMON THAN IS THOUGHT AS A QUICK GOOGLE TURNED UP A STARTLING SIMILAR NHTSA COMPLAINT: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/VOLKSWAGEN/PASSAT/2013/HEADLIGHTS-PROBLEMS.PHP I CAN DO THE SOCKET REPLACEMENT IF SENT THE REVISED PARTS. THE DESIGN IS CLEVER & WHEN I REPLACED THE FIRST BULB, I THOUGHT IT A GREAT DESIGN THAT ELIMINATES WIRES THAT CAN OTHERWISE PULL LOOSE FROM A TRADITIONAL STYLE SOCKET. OBVIOUSLY, THE INITIAL DESIGN WORKS ITSELF LOOSE OVER TIME. OUT OF POCKET COST TO DATE - $75.00

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY. THE TURBOCHARGER FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. RATHER THAN OFFER TO REPLACE THE AFFECTED PARTS WITH THE UPDATED PART THEY REDESIGNED BEFORE THE ENTIRE ENGINE IS CONTAMINATED WITH METAL FILINGS THEY ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO ATTEMP TO DESTROY THEIR ENGINES FIRST. IF MY CAR COULD NOT SURVIVE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE TURBO NO CAR LIKE THIS WILL SURVIVE. AFTER RECEIVING THE WARRANTY EXTENSION I WAS RELIEVED THAT I HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING BY ALWAYS CHANGING THE OIL AT ONE HALF THE RECOMMENDED INTERVAL AND ALWAYS DRIVING LIGHT FOOTED FOR OPTIMAL MILEAGE. I SUPPOSED THAT SINCE I HAD TAKEN PERFECT CARE I WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR THIS TRAGIC FAILURE. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE AND HAD TO BE FLATBEDDED TO MY HOME AND THEN FURTHER TO THE DEALER, WHO KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AND CHARGED 5000 TO TRY TO UNDO THE DAMAGE DONE BY THIS TURBOCHARGER SELF DESTRUCTING UNDER MY FEET. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF REPEATED OIL FLUSHES AND ALL NEW OIL SYSTEM PARTS WILL BE ENOUGH TO SECURE MY CAR'S MECHANICAL FUTURE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO REMOVE THE TURBOCHARGER BEFORE THE CATASTROPHIC END OCCURS YOU WILL PAY OUT OF POCKET. ONLY AFTER YOUR CAR IS RUINED WILL THEY STEP IN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE STRANDED AS PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE OWNER'S MANUAL CLEARLY STATES YOU MUST PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND SHUT OFF THE CAR WHEN THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT BLINKS. THIS WILL OCCUR WITH NO PRIOR NOTICE FROM THE CAR. MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED AND INJURED AFTER PULLING OVER IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAVING DONE THE CORRECT THING IMMEDIATELY DID NOT LESSEN THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY CAR. THE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON AFTER THE DAMAGE IS DONE!

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED LETTER APRIL 2016 THAT DRIVER'S AIRBAG MIGHT KILL ME IN CASE OF A CRASH. SPOKE TO LIZBETH L. REGION CASE MANAGER, 5/27/16 CASE #160498364. SHE SENT ME LETTER & FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL. I WANTED OUT OF MY LEASE BECAUSE I CAN'T GO ON A TRIP IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT. RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL AND E-MAIL 6/6/16. I WAS INFORMED OF A DENIAL IN MY REQUEST. I WAS OFFERED NOTHING FOR MY SAFETY SUCH AS A NEW CAR LEASE WITH PROPER AIR BAG EQUIPMENT. ACURA DEALER OFFERED MY FRIEND A LOANER CAR BECAUSE OF THEIR RECALL. I GOT NOTHING!!! SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY & NOT WAIT FOR A DRIVER TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING FOR THE CONSUMER. THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THANK YOU

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE DECREASED TO ALMOST 8-10 MILES PER GALLON, AFTER THE FIX THAT THEY INSTALLED FOR A RECALL. PREVIOUSLY I USED TO GET 37-39 MILES PER GALLON ON MY PASSAT DEISEL BUT AFTER THIS FIX I AM HARDLY GETTING 30 MILES PER GALLON. THE WHOLE OF ME BUYING THE DIESEL IS TO SAVE GAS. BUT AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE SCANDAL, I TOTALLY LOST FAITH ON VW AND WITH THE FIX, I AM NOT GETTING THE MILEAGE THAT THEY PROMISED ON THE STICKER PRICE.

TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED THE TAKATA RECALL LETTER INFORMING US OF POTENTIAL HARM FROM DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. WE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE WE GOT THE CAR, THEY WERE NOT SYMPATHETIC, THEIR RESPONSE WAS "WE DONT KNOW, YOU'LL HAVE TO CALL SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE WERE TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS, SO THEY CANNOT REPAIR, THERE IS NO RECOURSE YET AND NO LOANERS WILL BE PROVIDED. WE CALLED VW CORP, AND WAS ADVISED THAT IN THEIR OPINION, THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE, AND THAT THEY THEMSELVES WOULD NOT PUT THEIR FAMILY IN THE CAR AND DRIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THEY ALSO ADVISED NO RECOURSE AND NO LOANER. WE CALLED VW CREDIT, THEY SAID WE WOULD TURN OUR LEASE IN EARLY, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY EARLY TERMINATION FEES AND POSSIBLE BALANCE AT AUCTION. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL FOR A DEFECT THAT WAS NOT OUR FAULT. WE WOULD LIKE TO EITHER TURN IN THE VEHICLE WITH NO FEES OR EARLY TERMINATIONS, OR BE PROVIDED A LOANER OR CAR RENTAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAN BE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED WORTHLESS VW LETTER. BEEN DRIVING DANGEROUS CAR FOR 10 YEARS. DEFLATORS GET WORSE WITH AGE. CONTACTED VW DEALERS LOCALLY - NO PARTS ADN NO INFO. CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE - WAS TOLD NO KNOWN INSTANCES FOR VW AND NO IDEA WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE MAY 2016 TO DECEMBER 2019. WHY IS TAKATA ALLOWED TO BE IN BUSINESS AFTER SELLING MILLIONS OF THE DEFECTIVE LETHAL AIRBAGS? WHY IS VW NOT REQUIRED TO GER REPLACEMENT OEM PARTS MADE NOW. CAN'T SELL IT, GIVE IT AWAY OR DRIVE IT THIS WAY.

TAKATA RECALL I AM IN UPPER MANAGEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR AND I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DROPPING THEIR CARS OFF AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE STORIES OF THE 12+ DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED FROM THESE AIRBAGS FROM THE MOUTHS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO THANKFUL TO GET A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEIR CAR CAN BE FIXED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM'S AT THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS RECALL AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SITUATION. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SHOCKED I WAS TO FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY WAS MY WIFE'S VW A PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT VW WAS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH EFFECTED VEHICLES. I ESSENTIALLY RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT SAID "YOUR CAR HAS A GRENADE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT COULD KILL YOU. WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO FIX THIS BUT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE DO. KEEP DRIVING UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US." WHEN I CALLED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT HOW ON EARTH THEY COULD JUSTIFY NOT PROVIDING SAFE TRANSPORTATION LIKE THE OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS WERE I WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS DIED IN A VW YET, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN HONDAS. ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY BITE THE BULLET AND FOOT THE BILL FOR SAFE REPLACEMENTS? I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT VW IS ROLLING THE DICE AND TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER MASSIVE EXPENDITURE WHILE IT'S STILL REELING FINANCIALLY FROM ITS EMISSIONS SCANDAL.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD RECALL 15V483000 COMPLETED ON MY 2012 PASSAT. I WAS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, WIPERS TURNING ON FOR NO REASON. IT SEEMED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN SINCE BOTH OF THESE FEATURES ARE CONNECTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL TODAY. I MADE A U-TURN AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HASN'T WENT OFF SENSE. I'M CONCERNED AFTER READING ABOUT SHRAPNEL AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 13 PASSAT SE 2.5 STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE LOCKS IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS 10MPH THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. AFTER THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I COME TO A STOP LIGHT OR SLOW DOWN BELOW 10MPH AND THEN SPEED UP AGAIN, THE REAR PASSENGER LOCK TRIES TO LOCK ITSELF AGAIN.
