2007 Volkswagen Passat complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS SECURED ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD WITH A PLASTIC PART. THIS PART HAS BROKEN FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO ELECTRICAL CORDS RUNNING INTO THE VISOR FOR REMOTE CONTROLS. WHEN THE PLASTIC PART SECURING THE VISOR BREAKS, THE VISOR DROPS DOWN OBSCURING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND IS LEFT DANGLING BY THE WIRES. THE VISOR REMAINS A PROBLEM FOR THE DRIVER UNTIL A REPAIR IS MADE AND THE NEW VISOR COSTS ABOUT $600 INSTALLED BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. I HAVE HAD 2 NEW VISORS PREVIOUSLY PUT IN THIS CAR. CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND IS NOT DRIVEN VERY OFTEN. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I AM NOT COMPUTER SAVVY AND CANNOT SCAN THE REPAIR DOCUMENTS.

TAKATA RECALL

I CONTACTED THE VOLKSWAGEN HEADQUARTERS CONCERNING A RECALL NOTICE FOR, A FUEL PUMP MODULE AND WAS INFORMED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THIS PART COULD RESULT INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP, DRAINED BATTERY, FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY AND LOSS OF POWER WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURY OR CRASH. I AM ALREADY EXPERIENCING TROUBLE WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE COMPANY SUGGESTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO DUE THAT MONETARILY. I BELIEVE THE COMPANY SHOULD PROVIDE A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT UNTIL THIS MATTE IS RESOLVED. THIS IS THE SECOND RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST WAS AIRBAGS WHICH WAS REPLACED, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WE CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS ONE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL. THE PROBLEM: REPLACING THE BATTERY IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND HAVING A STARTING PROBLEM IN MID-OCTOBER. TOOK THE CAR TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER... THEY RAN TEST TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, WELL THE BATTERY FAILED THE TEST SO THEY HAD TO REPLACE BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY TOLD US THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WAS FAILING. THEY STATED IT WAS HEATING UP AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. WHEN I DID SOME BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON A FUEL PUMP MODULE I FOUND RECALL NOTICES WHICH INCLUDED 2006-2010 PASSAT WAGONS WHICH IS OUR CAR. THE RECALL STATES," THE PUMP CONDITION ALSO COULD CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, DRAINING THE BATTERY AND MAKING THE CAR UNABLE TO START". THIS WAS HAPPENING ON THE MONTH OLD BATTERY WE JUST HAD REPLACED. SO I WANT TO FIND OUT IF THIS CAR CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE RECALL!

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED NOTIFICATION MANY MONTHS AGO, CONTACTED MY DEALER. STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I DO NOT HAVE A SECOND CAR TO RELY ON OR DRIVE IN ITS PLACE.

THE LID FOR THE FUEL TANK WHICH CONTAINS THE VEHICLE FUEL FILTER IS CRACKED AND WAS LEAKING PRESSURIZED FUEL UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER REAR SEAT ANY TIME THE KEY WAS ON. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS ISSUED RECALL 20Z4 FOR TOUAREG MODEL VEHICLES. THE FIRST SYMPTOM I NOTICED WAS THE CAR HAD TO BE CRANKED FOR ONLY A SECOND OR TWO LONGER FOR THE ENGINE TO START. AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS OF EXPERIENCING A MINOR SHORT CRANK I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AND HAD TO CRANK THE ENGINE OVER FOR ALMOST 20 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTED. THIS IS WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 2 MILES HOME AND REMOVED THE REAR SEAT AND FUEL PUMP ACCESS PANEL AND FOUND THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK COVERED IN FUEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED MY DIAGNOSIS OF A "FUEL FILTER FLANGE" LEAKING WHICH WAS REPLACED AND RESOLVED THE FUEL LEAK AND PROLONGED CRANK.

TAKATA RECALL I CONTACTED ALL LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL AND WAS INFORMED PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. I UNDERSTAND THE OVERWHELMING IMPACT THIS IS CREATING (PRODUCTION/DELIVERY/INSTALLATION) HOWEVER I INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THERE IS ANY WAY TO DEACTIVATE OR TURN OFF THE AIRBAG IN THE MEANTIME (3+ MOS) AND WAS INFORMED THERE ISN'T A WAY TO DO SO. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. IS THERE NO TEMPORARY "FIX" TO PREVENT FROM THE AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH?

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007 PASSAT WATER LEAK FOOTWELL THAT CAUSES PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DAMAGED : SUDDENLY AFTER A RAINY DAY, WATER COMES FROM SUNROOF TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOTWELL AND MADE CARPET WET AND STORES WATER BELOW THE CARPET. THAT CAUSED PASSENGER SIDE 'S AIRBAG MALFUNCTION RESULTS IN AIRBAG FAULT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAPPENS WITH SOME VW CARS AND PLEASE GET YOUR CAR CHECKED FOR WATER LEAK. THEY TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NEITHER THE AIRBAG NOR THE WATER LEAK. I BELIEVE THERE WAS TOO MUCH WATER BELOW THE CARPET WHICH DIRECTLY PUTS THE INTEGRITY OF THE SAFETY IN DANGER SINCE IT THE ELECTRONIC PARTS AND WIRES WERE IN WATER FOR LONG TIME.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WENT FROM BEING OKAY -- TO NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO FASTER THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR AND RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET AND THIS WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER $1600 OF OTHER REPAIRS WITH NO RESULT HE FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE TIMING BELT SLIPPING DUE TO A FAULTY OIL PUMP BOLT. APPARENTLY THIS OIL PUMP BOLT IS FAILING ON LOTS OF PASSAT 3.6 VORTEX ENGINE AND SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL -- SINCE THE FIX IS A RIDICULOUSLY HIGH AMOUNT. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX THIS VEHICLE AND WILL BE PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE.
