I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE AN INTERRUPTION IN ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY, RESULTING IN A DRAINED BATTERY AND/OR A NO START CONDITION, OR CAUSE A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. IN ADDITION, THE AIRBAG RECALL IS A GREAT CONCERN. I'M ALSO CONCERNED FOR ANY OTHER RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VOLKSWAGEN. NOW THAT TAKATA HAS SETTLED THE LAWSUIT, I HOPE MY CONCERNED CAN BE RESOLVED EXPEDITIOUSLY.

THE VW PASSAT IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX YET AND THIS HAS BEEN SINCE AUGUST. I HAVE BEEN WITH A CAR THAT DOES NOT RUN. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED THE DEALERSHIP KEPT SENDING ME AWAY NOT KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, THEN WE LEARNED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR CAR. THE CAR WILL NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 5 MIN. IT STALLS OUT. THE CAR WILL START OKAY AND AS SOON AS YOU BEGIN TO DRIVE YOU CANNOT PUMP THE GAS THE ENTIRE CAR TURNS OFF, THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TRYING TO GET TO A MECHANIC. THIS PART (FULE PUMP MODULE) CAUSES OUR BATTERY TO DRAIN WHICH HAS ALSO CAUSED OUR ALTERNATOR TO GO OUT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR BUT WE PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND AS SOON AS WE DID THIS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE DRAINED IT AGAIN AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL EVERY 5 MIN, AT A POINT IT WILL NOT EVEN START. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE AUGUST AND VW HAS TOLD US THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE A REPAIR AND NOT ETA (LADY SAID IT COULD BE MONTHS TO YEARS!)
