2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE MATTER REGARDING TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER SYSTEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY VW OF AMERICA TO MY SATISFACTION AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS NECESSARY . THANK YOU VERY MUCH

ON MARCH 27, 2019, DURING A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION, THE RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING WAS SHOWN TO BE FRACTURED. IT WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN OF SOMERSWORTH, NH ON JUNE 29, DURING A REAR BRAKE REPAIR, THE LEFT COIL SPRING WAS FOUND TO BE FRACTURED. REPAIR NOT YET DONE. I THINK IT IS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE THAT BOTH FRACTURE WITHIN A 3 MONTH PERIOD. THEY WERE POORLY MANUFACTURED. CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER VW MODES HAVING FAULTY REAR COIL SPRINGS. I THINK THIS MODEL AND YEAR REQUIRES A RECALL AS WELL.
