ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A PASSAT THAT HAD BEEN DRIVEN 72000 MILES. AT THAT TIME THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS WERE NOTED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED: 1. OUTER TIE ROD AND CV BOOT. 2. COOLING SYSTEM: ALL COOLING HOSES, OIL COOLER, WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, & ASSOCIATED ITEMS. VW OF AMERICA REFUSED TO REIMBURSE FOR THE COST OF THESE UNTIMELY REPAIRS THAT WERE DUE IN PART TO FAULTY INFORMATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, THAT STATES THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS SEALED AND DID NOT NEED ANY MAINTENANCE. THESE ENORMOUS AND COSTLY REPAIRS AT A MILEAGE WHEN COMPARABLE CARS OF OTHER MANUFACTURERS NEED LITTLE OR NO REPAIRS UP TO AND WAY PAST 100,000 MILES, ARE EXCESSIVE IN MY OPINION. (THE FIRST OWNER GETS A WARRANTY OF 100,000 MILES AND 10 YEARS, SOMETHING THAT FOR THE SECOND OWNER IS REDUCED TO 50,000 MILES/5 YEARS. I WONDER IF THE CAR IS SUDDENLY NOT AS GOOD ANYMORE WHEN SOMEBODY BUYS IT FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER?) CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE LISTS REPAIR RECORDS FOR ENGINES AND SUSPENSION SYSTEMS OF THAT YEAR AND MODEL AS BEING "WORSE THAN AVERAGE," AND I CAN SEE WHY. I WOULD WELCOME TO JOIN OTHERS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES FOR A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION AGAINST VW. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
(1)AT 79,000 MILES: ABS AND FLASHING BRAKE LIGHT WARNING MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD AND READ STOP, SERVICE MANUAL / BRAKE FAULT. A SIMPLE WEB SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF CARS WITH THIS COMMON FAILURE AS A RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. (2)DURING THIS FAILURE TRACTION CONTROL IS DISENGAGED ALONG WITH ABS SYSTEM, COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. (3)I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE CAR WITHOUT REPAIR AS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE PAYING TO REPAIR OR EVEN DIAGNOSE! I WILL ALSO CONTACT VW OF AMERICA TO LOG ISSUE WITH THEM AND REQUEST A RECALL. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
HAVE OWNED CAR ABOUT 10 MONTHS. BOUGHT WITH WARRANTY INTACT FROM A DEALER. WAS DRIVING, GOING ALONG AT 50 MPH WHEN CAR BEGAN DRAMATICALLY SLOWING DOWN. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER ENGINE SPEED, AND WAS FORCED TO SHIFT DOWN TO AVOID STALLING. CAR EVENTUALLY DIED AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT, IT WOULD ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER BUT WOULD THEN QUIT SUDDENLY AGAIN AFTER JUST A FEW SECONDS. I ENDED UP BEING TOWED, AND DIDN'T HAVE CAR FOR WEEK PLUS. TURNED OUT TO BE AN FUEL PUMP. UNDER WARRANTY, THIS WAS FREE, BUT HAD WE BEEN JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES MORE WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR. I BELIEVE IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A FUEL PUMP TO GO AT 48,000 MILES, AND I CAN SEE THAT ON THIS WEB SITE ALONE THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE! THIS SAME THING HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR TOO BUT THAT TIME IT RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I FEEL VERY, VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC AT EITHER TIME!*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
FAILURE OF BOSCH ABS 5.3 CONTROLLER LEADING TO WARNING TONES AND LIGHTS AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS FUNCTIONS, A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM AS VW AND AUDI CARS GET OLDER DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE BOSCH HYBRID MODULE. SINCE THE CARS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, VW AND AUDI ARE NOT COVERING REPAIRS WHICH COST $1400 OR MORE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS ABD BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO BLINK ON MY 2000 VW PASSAT VR6 WAGON. MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST $1100 AND THAT WILL ONLY ENABLE THEM TO DO THE DIAGNOSTICS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE COSTS OF THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WILL BE ADDITIONAL. IF I DON'T CHANGE THE MODULE, MY BRAKES ARE IN DANGER OF FAILING. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON MY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2000 V6) STARTED BLINKING AS I WAS DRIVING. THE ABS NO LONGER WORKS IN MY CAR AND THE MANUAL STATES THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN AS THE BRAKE PROPORTIONING AREN'T CORRECT WHEN THE ABS IS OUT AND THAT THE REAR WHEELS CAN LOCK UNDER HEAVY BRAKING. AFTER DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST I FIND OUT THE THAT BOSCH ABS MODULE HAS STOPPED WORKING (8EO 614 111 AH). THE VW DEALER WANTS $1700 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON AND BECAUSE IT IS SAFETY RELATED I BELIVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. 8JB

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
DT: THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL 99V248000 CONCERNING TIE RODS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THERE WAS 21,604 MILES ON THE CAR THEN. SHE TOOK VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT'S SERVICE SLIP DID NOT SHOW ANY REPAIRS. SHE WAS REALLY NOT SURE WHAT WAS DONE CONCERNING THE RECALL. ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AGO, SHE HEARD A RUBBING, SCREECHING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. HAD THE FRONT TIE RODS REPLACED ON 8-30-05. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THEY HAD MADE A DECISION NOT TO REIMBURSE HER FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON VEHICLE, WHICH HA 74,000 MILES ON IT. THE CONTACT STATED THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR WAS FOUND. I CHANGED TO SYNTHETIC OIL SOON AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS OVER BUT WAS NEVER TOLD TO CHANGE TO SYNTHETIC BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE SLUDGE. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON IN VW 1.8T ENGINES. THIS PROBLEM WILL COST ME $2,000 SO FAR. I HAVE KEPT GREAT CARE OF THE CAR AND HAVE RECORDS EXCEPT THOSE WHO WERE SERVICE BY THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THOSE ARE STAMPED IN MY BOOK (THE ONE THAT IS GIVEN TO YOU AT THE DEALERSHIP) THE INFORMATION SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THE WARRANTY. I HAVE YET TO SOLVE THIS , BUT IN DEALING WITH THE OTHER DEALERSHIPS THEY ONLY KEEP RECORDS FOR A FEW YEARS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON AND TELLING ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY. FOUND OUT IT IS A OIL SLUDGE ISSUE WITH THE 1.8T ENGINE. IT IS A $1,600 BILL TO FIX THE VEHICLE. VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSES UNLESS WE SHOW A COPY OF OUR OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. WELL, WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3.5 YEARS AND WE DON'T HANG ONTO RECEIPTS FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS. SO, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS KNOWN OF A SLUDGING PROBLEM WITH THE 1.8T ENGINE SINCE LATE 2004. WE BOUGHT THE CAR EARLY 2002. *JB

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DT: GOODYEAR TIRES EAGLE GPS , SIZE 195/60/R14 EXPERIENCED A LARGE CRACK IN THE SIDEWALL COMPLETELY AROUND LEFT FRONT TIRE RIM. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER, AND THEY URGED THE CONSUMER TO TAKE TIRE TO SEARS BECAUSE THESE TIRES CAME ON A USED VEHICLE, THESE WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE CONSUMER WENT TO SEARS, WHO REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY 1,000 MILES AND HARDLY ANY WEAR ON THEM. THE OTHER TIRES WERE ALSO CRACKED. THE SERVICE MAN AT SEARS ASKED THE CONSUMER TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY AND HE WOULD REPLACE THE OTHER TIRES. BUT WHEN CONSUMER RETURNED THE NEXT DAY A DIFFERENT PERSON WAS WORKING AND SAID THESE WERE NOT SEAR'S TIRES BUT SAMATAEA'S CLUB TIRES. THE CONSUMER WAS REFERRED TO SAMATAEA'S CLUB TO REPLACE ALL TIRES AND RETURN THE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED TIRE TO SEARS. SAMATAEA'S CLUB WOULD NOT HONOR THE TIRE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CONSUMER WAS NOT A MEMBER, AND THAT WAS PART OF THEIR POLICY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED GOODYEAR, AND THEY SAID IT WAS UP TO SAMATAEA'S CLUB AS TO HOW THOSE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE TIRES HAVE HARDLY ANY WEAR BUT CONTINUE TO CRACK. CURRENTLY ON THE SIDEWALL THE STEEL AND TREAD IS SHOWS THROUGH . NO ONE WILL REPLACE THESE TIRES AT THIS TIME. THE CONSUMER DOES PLAN TO REPLACE THESE TIRES, BUT FEELS HE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
ON 9/7/05 IN THE AM, I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE HERZOG-MEIER DEALERSHIP IN BEAVERTON, OREGON TO BE SERVICED FOR A RADIATOR ISSUE. AROUND 2 PM IN THE AFTERNOON, I RECEIVED A VOICE MESSAGE FROM THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP INDICATING THAT IN ADDITION TO THE ISSUE I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR, THE MECHANIC HAD INDICATED THE FRONT TIE-RODS WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE REP BACK TO GET MORE INFORMATION. IN THE INTERIM, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR TIE-RODS, INDICATED AS YOU CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS OF 99V248000 AND 00V414000. I CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER CARE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. VW CUSTOMER CARE WOULD ONLY TELL ME THERE WAS "NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS". WHEN I WAS ABLE TO TALK WITH THE SERVICE REP, HE TOLD ME THESE RECALLS HAD BEEN PERFORMED BACK ON 3/13/01. I CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER CARE TO ASK THEM TO RE-REPAIR THESE TIE-RODS BECAUSE THE PARTS INSTALLED FROM THE RECALL HAD FAILED. VW HAS SAID THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR THE TIE-RODS THE 1 TIME AND FELT NO OBLIGATION TO REPAIR AGAIN. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THE PARTS INSTALLED AFTER THE RECALL HAVE FAILED. NOW I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY $500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO FIX. ADDITIONALLY, VW HAS NO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OR MAINTENANCE FOR TIE-RODS LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE OR IN MY OWNERS MANUAL FOR MY VEHICLE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON SEPT 1,2005 ON MY WAY TO THE E.R. AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO STOP ENGINE/CHECK OIL PRESSURE. I TURNED ENGINE OFF, AND CHECKED OIL LEVEL, ALL OK. TRIED TO START ENGINE TO GET OFF OF NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY, ENGINE MAKING TERRIBLE NOISE, TURNED OFF HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $400.00 TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND DIAGNOSE IT. AFTER ONE WEEK DEALER CALLED AND SAID IT WOULD COST $9000.00 TO REPLACE ENTIRE MOTOR, ON SEPT. 2 2005 CALLED V.W. OF AMERICA THEY STATED TO ME AT THAT TIME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 1.8 TURBO BUILDING UP OIL SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR, AND THAT THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE. THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO PROVE MY CASE, THEY GAVE ME A FAX # WHICH WAS THE WRONG #. AFTER THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND I PHONED V.W. OF AMERICA AGAIN AND THEY STATED , TO FAX THE DOCUMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER THAT THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THEM, THE CONSUMER ADVOCATE THAT I WAS SPEAKING WITH WAS NEW AND DID NOT KNOW THE FAX #. THE DEALER STATED THAT MY RECORDS WERE NOT DETAILED ENOUGH AND THAT I WAS MISSING SIX RECEIPTS, I MOVED ONE YEAR AGO AND THE VALVOLINE STATION WHERE I HAD THE OIL CHANGED FAITHFULLY STATED THAT IF YOU DO NOT USE THERE SERVICES FOR 6 MONTHS THAT THE COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY DROPS YOUR RECORDS. I SEEM TO BE CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, V.W. AND THE DEALER KEEP SHUFFLING ME BACK AND FORTH, IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND I AM RENTING A CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. AFTER SEARCHING YOUR WEB SITE I FOUND 8 COMPLAINTS INCLUDING MY OWN OUT OF 50 THAT'S ALMOST 20% OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE GIVEN THE SAME RUN AROUND. THIS HAS TO STOP SOMEWHERE AND SOME ONE HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I HAVE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY AND ARE PREPARED TO LITIGATE IF NECESSARY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1997 VW PASSAT TDI. THE CAR HAD A "TV-12" RECALL, IN WHICH THE ECM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED. WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS, THE ECM WENT OUT AGAIN, AND VW "REFUSES" TO LIVE UP TO THE WARRANTY. 2) FAILURE OF THIS, DOES NOT DIMINISH IT'S "CRUSING" CAPACITY DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO POWER TO PASS SAFELY, AND MUCH LOSS OF POWER, WHEN ENTERING THE 'EXITS'. CONSEQUENTLY, A VERY POSSIBLE SITUATION RESULTS TO HAVE A TERRIBLE CRASH. VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS, AND ONLY FIXES IT WHEN "THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINS". 3) THE ORIGINAL INTAKE WAS REPLACED, AND ECM. HOWEVER, VW WILL NOT PUT A 'NEW' ECM IN, RATHER, THEY PUT IN A "REBUILT" ONE. THIS IS PRONE TO HUMAN ERROR, AND THAT'S WHY MINE FAILED WITHIN FIVE (5) TO SIX (6) MONTHS. IT 'GOES OUT' CONSTANTLY. *JB
