EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
6/30 I DROVE MY 2004 VW PASSAT WAGON. I HAD USED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN, I ATTEMPTED TO RE-ACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. I TRIED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY AND IT WORKED. 7/3, I PARKED MY CAR FOR AN HOUR APPT. I RETURNED TO MY CAR TO FIND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I TURNED THE CAR ON, TAPPED THE BRAKES AND TURNED IT OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON. I HAD TO LEAVE TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS AND UPON RETURNING, CALLED MY DEALER, ONTARIO VW. 7/9 I MADE AN APPT TO SERVICE THE CAR. SYLVIA IN SERVICE MADE THE APPT. SHE MENTIONED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AFTER MAKING THE APPT, I RESEARCHED THE RECALL. I FOUND THE NHTSA SITE. NHTSA HAD A CAMPAIGN ID # 07V063000 FOR 6 MAKES OF VOLKSWAGEN, VARYING YEARS, ALL FOR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH MALFUNCTION. THE DESCRIPTION MATCHED MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. LATER ON THE 9TH, I WENT TO DROP OFF MY CAR FOR REPAIR. I WAS CHECKED IN AND TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. JOSE MEZA, SENIOR SERVICE ADVISOR, TOLD ME MY VIN # HAD NO RECALL. I EXPLAINED ABOUT THE INFO I FOUND AND HE SAID I WAS INCORRECT. HE DID NOT OFFER TO RESEARCH ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL BE REPAIRED. MY ISSUE IS WITH THE HANDLING OF THIS SITUATION AND THE LACK OF INTEREST ON THE PART OF ONTARIO VW AND VW CORP, WHOM I CALLED TO COMPLAIN AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MY VIN # DID NOT REFLECT A RECALL. IF 5 OTHER VW MAKES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE UNDER RECALL, WHY AM I BEING CHALLENGED ABOUT INCLUDING MY CAR IN THE RECALL? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAN BECOME INOPERABLE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. VEHICLE SAFETY SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY FOR ALL MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERSHIPS AND I AM SHOCKED AT THE LACK OF INTEREST I AM RECEIVING FROM ALL I CONTACT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. INCLUDING THE NHTSA THAT TOLD ME I COULD FILE A GENERAL COMPLAINT AND POSSIBLY BE INCLUDED IN A FUTURE RECALL BUT COULD NOT OFFER SPECIFIC HELP WITH ANYTHING ELSE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT, WAGON, 4 CYL 2.0 L MOTOR. I HAD 2 OCCASIONS WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS SHORTED OUT ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS, ONCE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT 75,000 MILES, AND ONCE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AT 40,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO FIRE, BUT IN BOTH INCIDENTS THE WIRES HAD COMPLETELY MELTED TO THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ATTACHED. THE WIRES WERE COMPLETELY EXPOSED IN BOTH INCIDENTS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
THE 2002 VOLKWAGEN PASSAT 1.8T PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD ON SATURDAY JULY 1 2007, AND THE EPC LIGHT COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING A FAULTY ENGINE RPM SENSOR. THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. EXACTLY 12 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR STALLED WITH THE SAME EPC LIGHT. THE ONLY CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INCIDENT WERE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ALMOST AN HOUR WITH SLIGHTLY CHARRED ENGINE. I COASTED OFF THE ROAD AND SMELLED SMOKE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS SHORT COIL-PACKS AND NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, SO I WAS STUCK WITH A $3,000.00 REPAIR BILL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR INSTANCES AND AM WONDERING WHY IT WAS NEVER RECALLED. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
FAILURE OF CAR TO SHUT ENGINE OFF WHEN KEY SWITCHED TO OFF. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. PROBLEM TRACED TO SHORT IN WIRING ASSOCIATED WITH DRIVER'S SUN VISOR AND 'VANITY' LIGHTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO SOLVE PROBLEM. TECHNICIAN FOUND SOLUTION BY CHANCE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE FIRST PROBLEM I NOTICED WAS WHEN I EXITEDTHE VEHICLE WAS THAT THE REMOTE CONTROL WOULD NOT LOCK THE DOORS. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD SO I MANUALLY LOCKED THEM. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE AS WELL, SO I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THEM, STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED ON. I STOPPED FOR FUEL, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED THE KEY AND REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. *AK I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT. I CONTINUED ON TO MY RESIDENCE WHERE AGAIN THE ENGINE FAILED TO STOP RUNNING WITH THE KEY OFF AND OUT OF THE IGNITION. I CALLED VW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH A DEALER WHO TALKED ME THROUGH STALLING THE ENGINE BY CUTTING OFF THE AIR SUPPLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS A SATURDAY. THERE THE ENGINE WOULD AGAIN NOT STOP RUNNING, AND I SHOWED THE TECHNICIAN HOW I HAD CHOCKED IT PREVIOUSLY. FOLLOWING SEVERAL HOURS OF TROUBLESHOOTING, THE DEALER TRACED THE PROBLEM BACK TO THE SUN VISOR. THEY BELIEVED THAT THE HOME LINK SYSTEM BUILT INTO THE VISOR WAS CREATING A REVERSE CURRENT FLOW WHICH WAS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF AND REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITH THE VISOR DISCONNECTED, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THE 2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLX 4 MOTION WITH JUST OVER 66,000 MILES HAD JUST BEEN REFUELED WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND DRIVEN INTO OUR GARAGE WHEN MY WIFE SMELLED STRONG GASOLINE FUMES AND NOTICED PUDDLES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT IT TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP, AND WAS CHARGED $70 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS , AND THEN A TOTAL OF $302.77 TO REPLACE THE GASKET FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THEY DID NOT FILL THE TANK TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTED, BUT SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. A WEEK LATER THE SAME SITUATION, GASOLINE FUMES AND PUDDLES UNDER VEHICLE. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY KEPT CAR FOR 4 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE. BOTTOM LINE ,THEY INFORMED ME THAT "THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A NEW FUEL TANK , $1,622. AND /OR NEW FUEL LINES, $922.25. THEY WILL NEED TO LOWER THE FUEL TANK TO COMPLETELY DIAGNOSE" AT A COST OF $700 BECAUSE OF 5 HOURS. LABOR. WE HAD ALREADY SPENT OVER $300 FOR REPAIRS THAT APPARENTLY WASN'T NECESSARY BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT REFUND OUR $300. ALSO , MY WIFE CALLED VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THEY WOULD OFFER NO HELP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. IT WAS TOP OF THE LINE I EXPECT BETTER PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE AS I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF VOLKSWAGENS AND NONE HAD GIVEN ME GRIEF UNTIL THIS ONE. A GASOLINE TANK AND FUEL LINES WERE SAFETY ISSUES AND IF THEY FAIL IN SUCH A SHORT TIME THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE EITHER DEFECTIVE OR POORLY DESIGNED, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THEM SHOULD LIE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD THINK THAT THE $300 REPAIR BILL WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE BUT NOT ANYWHERE BETWEEN $2000 AND $3000. WHY SHOULD THE CUSTOMER PAY FOR A POOR DESIGN THAT INVOLVED $700 JUST TO DIAGNOSE? FROM THE LOOK OF SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THIS SITE THEY WOULD ALREADY KNOW AND GLADLY EXTEND SOME GOOD WILL TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. *AK

STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2003 VW PASSAT AND AM ORIGINAL OWNER. I'VE HAD THREE LEAKS INTO THE FRONT RIGHT FLOORBOARD IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS FROM EITHER A SUNROOF DRAIN LINE OR A AIR CONDITIONER, DEPENDING ON THE REPAIR PERSON YOU TALK TO. THE LEAKS HAVE OCCASIONALLY PRODUCED SO MUCH WATER THAT IT HAS GONE TO RIGHT BACK FLOORBOARD. MY TRUNK HINGES ARE BROKEN. MY HOOD LIDS ARE BROKEN. THE PLASTIC ON THE INTERIOR IS WORN OFF. THE ASHTRAY IN BACK FELL APART. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE ALIGNMENT RIGHT SO I KEEP GOING THROUGH TIRES AND THE TIRES I DO HAVE SOUND UNEVEN WHEN I ROTATE THEM, MAKING ME THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM. NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. IT'S NOT A FUSE BUT APPARENTLY A SWITCH. BUT MY CAR ISN'T COVERED BY A RECALL THAT VW HAS ON A BUNCH OF OTHER MODELS. THERE'S A DEFECT INVESTIGATION INTO FIRES IN THE ENGINE AND A RECALL ON SLUDGE. THIS CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND IT'S VERY POORLY ENGINEERED. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER AND VW NATIONAL IS NO HELP. I'M ABANDONING THE CAR TODAY, TRADING IT IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WILL NEVER BUY A VW AGAIN. NO CAR SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES AT 4 YEARS OLD. AND THE ISSUES STARTED AT 3 YEARS OLD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE PULLING THE DIPSTICK OUT OF THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO CHECK THE OIL, THE PULL RING/HANDLE BROKE OFF. I CONTACTED MY DEALER FOR A REPLACEMENT AS THE CAR IS STILL UNDER A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE I PULLED THE DIPSTICK OUT OF THE ENGINE RATHER THAN A DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE WARRANT IS NOT APPLICABLE. IN EFFECT, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY MUST DO ALL OF THE OIL LEVEL CHECKS, OTHERWISE I DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE COMPONENTS AFFECTED. I APPEALED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY CONFIRMED THE DEALER'S DECISION. THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE FAILURE IS THAT THE OIL LEVEL, NECESSARY TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION OF THE CAR, CAN NOT BE CHECKED.

REGARDING RECALL 07V063000. I OWN A 2003 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON ALL DAY. I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I PARKED THE CAR, AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON ALL NIGHT AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL, STAYING VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. I HAD TO PAY THE REPAIR COSTS OUT OF POCKET AND VOLKSWAGEN CORPORATE REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
THE 2004 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 1.8 T CAR ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE TODAY WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER BARELY SAVED HIS LIFE FROM THE FLAMES. THE CAR WOULD CERTAINLY BURN COMPLETELY IF LUCKILY THERE WAS NO FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE AT THE NEARBY STORES. ALTHOUGH THE INCIDENT WAS IN ISTANBUL, TURKEY I HAPPENED TO LEARN FROM THE INTERNET THAT NHTSA WAS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATIONS ON THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 19 VOLKSWAGEN PASSATS. VOLKSWAGEN DEALER IN TURKEY TOLD ME THAT AN ENGINEER FROM VOLKSWAGEN GERMANY WILL COME TO TURKEY TO PERFORM AN INSPECTION ON THE CAR. NOBODY TOUCHED THE CAR YET. SINCE THE INCIDENT WAS TODAY ANT THE CAR WAS STILL AT THE VOLKSWAGEN AUTHORIZED DEALER SERVICE. I THOUGHT THIS INFORMATION MIGHT BE USEFULL FOR YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND WOULD LIKE TO LEARN YOUR SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SHARE WITH ME. PLEASE WRITE TO MY E-MAIL ADRESS IN CASE YOU NEED DETAILED INFORMATION OR WOULD LIKE TO GET THE PHOTOES OF THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THANKS. *AK
