2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

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.

TAKATA RECALL - CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN (BOBBY BECK'S LEWISVILLE VOLKSWAGEN) & THEY STATED THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART FOR 69M8, MEANING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE REPLACEMENT & HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION, INCLUDING IF & WHEN THAT WILL CHANGE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY USING THIS VEHICLE, HOW & WHEN WILL THIS DEFECT BE RECTIFIED? WHEN WILL VOLKSWAGEN BE ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART?

TAKATA RECALL HELLO, IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND I STILL CAN'T HAVE OUR AIRBAG REPLACED BECAUSE VW DOESN'T HAVE A FIX READY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT CAN TAKE A YEAR WITH A RISK AS SERIOUS AS POTENTIALLY SENDING LETHAL SHRAPNEL AT MY 3-YR OLD DAUGHTERS' SITTING IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS ASAP!!!!
