ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SATURDAY JAN 10, 2014, WHILE CRUISING AT APPROX 45 MPH DRIVING STRAIGHT, ON A DRY AND CLEAR DAY, THE ECP DASH LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING AND THE POWER OF THE CAR DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY SLOW MAKING IT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN TRAFFIC-FLOW SPEED AND DRIVING UPHILLS WAS EVEN WORSE, SLOWING DOWN AND NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED UNTIL OVER THE HILL.(VIRGINIA HILLY ROADS). I TOOK CAR TO THE LOCAL VW DEALER, TERRY VW LYNCHBURG,VA WHO TOLD ME THAT THE 2 TIMING CHAINS AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $3536.00. I MENTIONED TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE RELATING TO THE 3.6 ENGINE IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAVING A REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PUMP BOLT THAT HOLDS THESE TOGETHER WORKING LOOSE AND THAT VW HAD RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE AND REPLACED THE "OIL PUMP BOLT" WITH A NEW MODEL BOLT ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE AFTER THIS SAME ISSUE HAD OCCURRED REPEATEDLY WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME 3.6 ENGINE. SAME ISSUE RECORDED MULTIPLE TIMES IN VWVORTEX.COM, PASSATWORLD.COM, CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, VOLKSWAGENDEFECT.COM, ARFC.ORG, AND OTHERS. I CONTACTED VW OF AMERICA WHO DENIED THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR WHATSOEVER. SINCE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND VW IS NOT IGNORANT OF IT, AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT NOTICE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE HAD I BEEN ON A HI-SPEED HIGHWAY AND/OR IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC, VW NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE AND REPLACE THESE ITEMS AS THIS IS NOT A NORMAL FAILURE ITEM ON MOST VEHICLES WITH IS LOW OF MILEAGE. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
INITIAL FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO MAIN THOROUGHFARE. VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND STALLED OUT. VEHICLE WAS SEND TO VW DEALER FOR REPAIR WHERE SOME WARRANTY REPAIRS WERE MADE AS WELL AS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE THAT WAS ADVISED. THE CAR WAS RETURNED AS "REPAIRED" AND AFTER DRIVING HOME EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURE WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY. CAR WAS RETURNED AGAIN AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE A SECOND TIME WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON I275 IN DETROIT. THE CAR STALLED OUT AND I AGAIN LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR THEN FAILED TO START. I WAS FORCED TO SIT FOR THREE HOURS IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A TWICE IN 2 WEEKS REPAIRED ISSUE AS MY CAR WAS BURIED IN SNOW ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH DOOR UNLOCKED. SPOKE TO VW SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT'S A COMMON ISSUE ON THIS CAR. COLD TEMPERATURES FREEZE UP THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE. VW SERVICE ADVISED ME TO STOP OPENING THE DOOR BECAUSE THE LATCH MECHANISM COULD FAIL COMPLETELY AND THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH TO CLOSE. THEY SAID BRING THE VEHICLE IN SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY SAID YES IT'S A FAILING DOOR LATCH MECHANISM AND THE REPLACEMENT COST WOULD BE $480.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GENERAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING. A DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THAT WON'T OPEN AND WON'T LATCH TO CLOSE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT WITH ALMOST 70,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW CAR IN AUGUST 2010. IN SEPTEMBER 2014 AND NOVEMBER 2014 (THANKSGIVING DAY), AN IGNITION COIL FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IN SEPTEMBER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSINESS ROAD WHEN THE IGNITION COIL FAILED. IN NOVEMBER, I WAS ON THE ON-RAMP FOR THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE IGNITION COIL FAILED. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY SCARY AS THE RAMP WAS UPHILL AND THE CAR BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT UP THE RAMP. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AS IT WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO THIRD GEAR, AND HAD TROUBLE MAKING IT UP THE SMALLEST HILL. THE SECOND TIME AN IGNITION COIL FAILED, THE CAR ALSO HAD A LOT OF SMOKE COMING OUT THE TAILPIPE. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO DRIVE HOME AND THEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 25 MILES AN HOUR IN A SHAKY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED. *TR

NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR STICKING DURING RECENT COLD WEATHER, IT WAS FROZEN. CLIMBED THROUGH PASSENGER DOOR FOR A CPL DAYS.. NO BIG DEAL FOR A ONE YR OLD CAR, RIGHT? WHEN THE DOOR DID OPEN, IT WOULDN'T SHUT. I HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHILE DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER, WAS INFORMED THAT I AM THE THIRD PERSON TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON A PASSAT, BUT IT WILL BE A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE THEY CAN CHARGE ME $700 TO FIX IT. I REALIZE I'M OVER MY WARRANTY WITH MILEAGE.. BUT THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE!! I'M NOW DRAGGING AROUND TOWN HOLDING MY DOOR CLOSED, DRIVING NO FASTER THAN 15MPH WITH BLINKERS ON. CAN'T SHUT OR LOCK IT, HOPE IT DOESN'T GET STOLEN! I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING THAT OPENS THE DOOR IS BROKE. THE DOOR LATCH, LEVER, AND 2 CABLES. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT.. NO WAY IT'S SAFE AND OK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. CALLED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE, WAS TOLD OVER WARRANTY, NOTHING THEY CAN DO.. HAVE A NICE WEEKEND. SMALL CONSOLATION. I GUESS IT'S TOTALLY FINE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN A CAR IS PURCHASED BC OF THE SAFETY RATINGS ALL THE WHILE HOLDING A DOOR CLOSED FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. UNBELIEVABLE *TR

IN COLD WEATHER SOMETIMES THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, I HAVE TO GO THROUGH A REAR DOOR AND OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE, THEN MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL WORK FINE AFTER THAT, THOUGH A FEW TIMES THE DOOR WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY HEARD OF THIS AND DID NOTHING, I JUST RECENTLY BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY INSTALLED A UPDATED LATCH. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING
UPON PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE WAS A CRACKING NOISE AND THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF WITH AN AIRBAG ERROR. AT WHICH POINT ALL MECHANISMS WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING BROKE, BECAUSE OF THIS THE AIRBAG, HORN AND OTHER STEERING WHEEL MECHANISMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT REPAIR. FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT THIS HAS CONSISTENTLY BROKEN ON OTHER 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT BETWEEN 50K AND 60K MILES ON IT. I FURTHER ADDRESSED MY CONCERN WITH VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARES TO ASK WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART, THEY INDICATED THAT NOT ENOUGH CUSTOMERS HAVE SUBMITTED CLAIMS. BECAUSE THIS FAILS/BREAKS AT THIS MILEAGE IT IS OUTSIDE THE STANDARD WARRANTY, THERE IS "NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT." I REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER MULTIPLE TIMES, AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT VOLKSWAGEN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VW HAS NO TRACTION CONTROL (NOT STABILITY CONTROL) BUTTON TO DEFEAT THE SYSTEM AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN THERE IS SNOW AND ICE ON AN INCLINE OF ANY DEGREE, THIS IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS. IT RETARDS THE POWER THE CAR DELIVERS BY APPLYING BRAKES TO WHEELS THAT ARE SLIPPING. I WAS ON A HILL AND THE CAR WAS REDUCED TO 3-6 MILES PER HOUR WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND ONCOMING. IT IS DESIGNED AS A SAFETY SYSTEM BUT IS DOING THE OPPOSITE ON SLICK INCLINES. PROBABLY A MONEY SAVING MEASURE, BUT PUTS DRIVERS AT RISK. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
FAULTY DOOR HANDLES ARE PREVENTING ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVER BEING LOCKED IN THE CAR AFTER AN ACCIDENT. FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR NOW, THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ONLY ENGAGING WITH THE INNER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM OCCASIONALLY. ONE CAN HEAR THE UNLOCK MECHANISM CLICK WHEN ENGAGING THE REMOTE, BUT WHEN ONE TRIES TO PULL THE HANDLE, IT IS MISSING THE USUAL TENSION AND LIFTS MORE EASILY THAN USUAL, AND THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. IF ONE CRAWLS INTO THE CAR VIA ANOTHER DOOR (POTENTIALLY THROUGH THE TRUNK) AND MANUALLY OPERATES THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE, THE DOOR WILL OPEN. HOWEVER, PRESSING THE AUTO LOCK BUTTON ON ANY DOOR WHEN INSIDE WILL RELEASE THE LOCK, BUT WILL NOT ALLOW AN OUTSIDE PERSON TO PULL THE HANDLE (WHICH REMAINS STILL DISCONNECTED). THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE DRIVER DOOR AND OVER TIME HAS MOVED TO ALL OTHER DOORS. I WAS INFORMED BY MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH VW PASSATS AND IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRING INSIDE THE DOOR. AS IT RELATES TO ALL DOORS, IT SEEMS EVIDENT THAT IT IS TRIGGERED BY A FAULTY DESIGN. GOOGLING, IT APPEARS THAT DOOR ISSUES ARE REPORTED FOR VW JETTAS AS WELL. THIS IS VERY ALARMING BECAUSE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE DRIVER WAS INCAPACITATED AND UNABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS FROM THE INSIDE (DESPITE UNLOCKING THE AUTO LOCK SYSTEM), EMERGENCY CREWS OR FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED MY CAR TO WARM IT UP, CAME OUT TO DRIVE IT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER TURNED IT OFF TWICE BEFORE THE WIRING HARNESS AND AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND I FEEL IT SHOULD'VE BEEN VOLKSWAGENS BILL, NOT MINE AS I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP, WHICH I DID NOT PAY FOR. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS CAR IS BUILT WITH REVERSED COLOR CODED BATTERY CABLES WITHOUT PROPER, EASILY IDENTIFIABLE POLARITY IDENTIFICATION. THE FACTORY BATTERY HAS CONVENTIONAL MARKINGS, RED +, BLACK -, HOWEVER THE BLACK CABLE IS DESIGNED TO GO ON THE "+" TERMINAL AND THE RED CABLE IS DESIGNED TO GO ON THE "-" TERMINAL ON THIS MODEL. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS POLARITY MARKINGS ON THE CABLES. IF ONE LOOKS VERY CAREFULLY YOU CAN FIND A TINY - STAMP ON THE RED CABLE TERMINAL AND THE TINY + STAMP IS HALF COVERED BY INSULATION AND HIDDEN ON THE BLACK CABLE TERMINAL. THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE OF SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIAMETERS TO GUIDE YOU TO THE PROPER INSTALLATION BUT THE DIAMETER DIFFERENCE IS NOT LARGE AND IS EASILY ADJUSTED WITH A SCREWDRIVER WHICH I HAVE HAD TO ADJUST TO FIT ON CABLES THAT WERE NOT IMPROPERLY REVERSED IN THE PAST. NOT NOTICING THE REVERSED COLOR CODED CABLES PRIOR TO REPLACING THE BATTERY I HOOKED UP A NEW VW OEM REPLACEMENT BATTERY WITH REVERSED POLARITY AS A RESULT OF THE IMPROPER/REVERSED BATTERY CABLE COLOR CODES. THE CABLES WERE NOT TIGHTEND, JUST PLACED ON THE TERMINALS AT WHICH POINT THE HORN SOUNDED AND WOULD NOT GO OFF AT WHICH POINT I REMOVED THE CABLES AND LOOKED VERY CLOSELY FOR MARKINGS INDICATING THAT I MIGHT HAVE HOOKED THEM UP IMPROPERLY AND NOTICED THE AFOREMENTIONED VERY HARD TO FIND TINY HIDDEN STAMPINGS ON THE TERMINALS REVEALING THAT I HAD HOOKED UP THE BATTERY WITH REVERSE POLARITY. THIS RESULTED IN $3000 OF ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR - AND ALMOST CAUSED A FIRE, MELTING SOME OF THE HARNESS AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES. ADDITIONALLY 2 OF THE 3 PROTECTIVE FUSIBLE LINKS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THIS CIRCUITRY MELTED TOGETHER SHORT CIRCUIT (INSTEAD OF FUSING OPEN CIRCUIT) NOT PROTECTING ANYTHING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MULTIPLE DEFECT DESIGN THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY AND FIRE IN ADDITION TO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND COSTLY REPAIRS. *JS
