2009 Volkswagen Passat

3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TOWED AND ALL THREE TIMES THEY STATED IT WAS DIFFERENT THINGS AND THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE STEPS IN REPLACING GOOD PARTS TO FIND THE BAD ONES. JUST TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE WHOLE TIME. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON IT. WHICH I HAVE SUMMITTED THE PAPER WORK AND THEY CONVENIENTLY CANNOT FIND. THIS PAST WEEKEND MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IN A PARKING LOT SO I HAD IT TOWED FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 2.5YEARS. THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT THE ENGINE MOTOR IS BAD AND IT WOULD COST $7500.00 TO REPLACE. THE TECHNICIAN CANNOT FIND ANY OIL LEAKS ND CLAIM THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT A HALF OF COURT OF OIL IN THE MOTOR. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND BOTH VOLKSWAGEN AND MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD OF RUN FOR THAT LONG ON HALF A COURT OF OIL AND SHOULD HOLD 5.6 QUARTS. WHICH LEADS TO THE MOTOR EATING SO TO SPEAK THE OIL. ( A BAD ENGINE) ALTHOUGH I SPENT OVER $20'000.00 ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD ALL THESE ISSUES VOLKSWAGEN IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP AT ALL WITH REPAIRING THE ENGINE. THAT I WILL HAVE TO EAT THE $9000.00 STILL OWED ON THE VEHICLE. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY VOLKSWAGEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NORTH PARK VOLKSWAGEN, 21315 INTERSTATE 10 WEST, SAN ANTONIO, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE BATTERY LOST ITS CHARGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FAILED FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, ANY OTHER DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE RECALLED PART WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

DRAINED MY BATTERY ALL TIME, TURNED OFF IN MIDDLE THE I DRIVING IT. FOR COUPLE MONTHS I BEEN EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION. FIRST I WAS CAME BACK FOR WORK, I WAS IN MAYS LANDING AREA, I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT CHANGE, WHEN MY CART TURNED OFF. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES TURNED ON AGAIN, I DROVE FOR 10 MINUTES AND AGAIN TURNING OFF. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, MY CAR WORKED PERFECTLY FOR 3 DAY, I WAS IN MY JOB READY TO CAME HOME WHEN MY CAR NEVER START AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH OR WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND STALLED. THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSEVILLE VOLKSWAGEN (830 AUTOMALL DR., ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (916) 945-2997) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,307. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM VW IN OCTOBER OF 2017. IT SAID THERE COULD BE AN INTERRUPTION TO THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. RESULT COULD BE FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY, RESULTING IN DRAINED BATTERY AND/OR A NOT TART CONDITION OR CAUSE A LOTT OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE THE CARE IS IN MOTION. AFTER CONTACTING THEM NOW (JUNE 15, 2018) THEY HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. IS THIS USUAL WITH A RECALL THAT SEEMS DANGEROUS?

MY PASSAT FUEL PUMP IS USING TO MUCH GAS, IVE HAD TO GET IT TOWED BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND GAS IN MY OIL AND REPLACED INJECTORS, ITS A 2009 WITH 80,000 MILES. YOU CAN ALSO FEEL THE MISFIRE OR A HESITANT OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. IVE PUT AROUND 5,000 MILE ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN BUT NOT FLASHING.
