2010 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

COMING FROM A STANDSTILL, MY 2010 VW PASSAT WITH 69,000 MILES HAS A MULTIPLE SECOND DELAY BEFORE GOING INTO D OR R. ONE DAY, I PUT IT IN R AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN N. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED

TAKATA RECALL . I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY VW DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN APRIL. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. TAKATA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL. HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE RECALL AND NO ACTION TAKEN BY COMPANY TO RECTIFY PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS IN TEXAS, IS OVER 6 YEARS OLD, AND IS PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR A 55 YEAR OLD WORKING WOMAN. TEXAS IS A HIGH RISK STATE.

TAKATA, 69M9, , TRIED CALLING TAKATA, AND EMAIL TO VW.COM, I CAN'T GET A CONTACT. CAN YOU PROVIDE EMAIL FOR VW, I DON'T THINK DRIVING A CAR THAT MAY BLIND, KILL, OR CAUSE INJURY IS ACCEPTABLE, THIS VEHICLE IS REQUIRED FOR WORK EVERY DAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT AT VW. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE (3 MONTHS AGO) & AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLUSION, IF THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED THAT I OR ONE OF MY PASSENGERS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM VOLKSWAGEN TODAY THAT ADVISED THAT THE ISSUE IS TYPICALLY FOR CONCERN IN CARS 6 YEARS & OLDER, OF WHICH MINE IS OVER 6 YEARS OLD NOW. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BELIEVING THAT THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE A CAR THEY MANUFACTURED THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SUCH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT A COMPANY CAN HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SUCH DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES & YET THEY CANNOT FACILITATE THE REPAIRS IN A REASONABLE TIME & WORST STILL NOT GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS A DATE AS TO WHEN THE REPAIR COULD BE DONE. I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE A CASE FOR LITIGATION IF I AM INJURED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE INJURIES OR DEATH & NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD GIVE ME THE PEACE OF MIND I EXPECTED TO HAVE WHEN BUYING A VOLKSWAGEN VEHICLE.

VEHICLE HAS 32,000 MILES AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. HORN DOES NOT WORK SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE CLOCK SPRING RECALL. HORN WORKS BUT AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE "PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM" AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3,000.00. CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIME (NOT MILEAGE) THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR HAVING OWNED THE VEHICLE 5 YEARS AND DRIVEN IT 32,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AFTER OWNING IT FOR 4 YEARS. IT STARTED WITH THE TAIL LIGHT BULB ALWAYS BURNING OUT. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS BEFORE AND HAD IT REPLACED. LAST YEAR I PAID ALMOST $2200 FOR WINDOW WHICH WON'T ROLL DOWN AND THE DOOR WHICH WON'T LOCK, WATER PUMP, OIL LEAK AND OTHER MINOR ISSUES. THE KEYPAD WILL LOCK 3 DOORS ONLY AND THE LIGHTS WON'T COME ON WHEN LOCKED BUT WHEN UNLOCKED IT'LL COME ON. I HAVE PURCHASED 3 BATTERIES THUS FAR BECAUSE THE CAR CONSTANTLY DRAINS THE BATTERY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON MAJOR STREETS AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. MY PASSENGER RIGHT REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND WINDOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE MIGHT CAUSE MY CAR TO CATCH ON FIRE. THE TAIL LIGHT WILL WORK IF I TAP THE OUTSIDE COVER TO THE LIGHT. I HAVE GOTTEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS AND ONCE I SHOW THE COP THAT IF I TAP IT IT'LL COME ON, THEN THEY UNDERSTAND. AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT I CAN NOT OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THAT WILL COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN AUGUST 2009 AND I HAVE 62,043 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT MISTREAT THE CAR BUT IT'S REALLY NOT WORTH IT AND VW DOES NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A POORLY BUILT VEHICLE. IT FEELS AS IF THIS IS WAS A TRIAL AN ERROR MODEL CAR. I AM CONFIDENT THAT IF THIS CAR WASN'T AS OLD AS IT IS NOW IT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW. I AM SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY VW CC OWNER EXPERIENCING THESE HEADACHES BUT IF I AM AT LEAST I AM MAKING IT KNOWN OF SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WHILE BEING A FIRST TIME AND LAST TIME VW OWNER.

TAKATA RECALL- 69M9 DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG VOLKSWAGEN HAS STILL PROVIDED NO SOLUTION, AND WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. THE FIRST NOTICE WAS IN APRIL 2016, AND NO FOLLOW-UP HAS BEEN SENT. THERE HASN'T BEEN AN INCIDENT WITH OUR CAR, BUT WE FEEL VW HAS GONE WAY PAST THEIR DUE DATE ON TAKING ACTION.

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL. UPON ROUTINE VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST ESTIMATE OF $2740. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES. EVEN WITH A TSB ON THE ISSUE COVERING PRACTICALY EVERY VEHICLE PRODUCED FROM 2008-2012 THEY ARE NOT TAKING REPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. WAS NEVER TOLD OF THE ISSUE UNTIL THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
