2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

TERRIBLE SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM BRAKES. HAD THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT BY A DEALER. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. NO ISSUE WITH BRAKES OTHER THAN THE AWFUL NOISE.

ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND MOVING. VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE.

THE MOTOR KEPT MAKING NOISE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS WENT TO VOLKSWAGEN OF MEMPHIS THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, 2 MONTHS LATER SMELLED GAS COMING FROM CAR THE FUEL INJECTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, 2 MONTHS AFTER THAT THE OVERHEAT INDICATOR WAS ON COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT WAS OUT OF SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOT HAPPY WITH THE CAR AT ALL BUT ALMOST DONE PAYING ON IT WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES FOR MY 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT FOR THE PAST YEAR YEAR. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY VOLKSWAGEN DEALER IN MARCH OF 2018, BROUGHT THE CAR IN SO THEY COULD FIX THE RECALL. AFTER TAKING THE DAY OFF, AND WAITING FOR THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PART TO FIX IT, AND THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVED THE PART. LAST MONTH, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN, THEY PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH ANOTHER DEALER, I CONTACTED THAT DEALER. THEY ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE PART. AGAIN I WAS TOLD, WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN WE HAVE THE PART. THAT WAS OVER A MONTH AGO. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. HOW DO GET MY RECALL FIXED IF THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS? DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR IMPLODES? PLEASE HELP!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PARAMOUNT VOLKSWAGEN, 1205 S CENTER ST, HICKORY, NC 28602, (828) 475-6696) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

ENGINE QUITS WITHOUT WARNING. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. TOO MANY REPORTS OF THIS ON INTERNET. VERY DANGEROUS! QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROAD.

WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO. IT WAS A LITTLE LOUD WHICH WAS EVIDENT. THE DEALERS MECHANIC SAID THE CAR WAS FINE. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (STEADY NOT BLINKING). WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE TIMING TENSIONER (APPARENTLY A KNOWN VEHICLE ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC), AND THAT IT HAD DAMAGED THE ENGINE TO THE POINT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS A 1.8T, AND I AM CURIOUS EXACTLY HOW PREVALENT THIS PROBLEM IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE MATTER AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON NOVEMBER 21, 2013 AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN VOLKSWAGEN (1135 MILLERSPORT HIGHWAY, AMHERST, NY 14226, (888) 685-3064) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS) AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 181168832. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING BROKE AGAIN AFTER VOLKWAGEN REPLACED IT. NOW GETTING CHARGED A SECOND TIME FOR THE CLOCKSPRING THAT A VOLKWAGEN DEALERSHIP REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 25,000 MILES SINCE WE PAID THE $500 TO GET IT REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WAS SKIPPED IN THE RECALL. ALL I WAS DOING TO CAUSE THE CLOCKSPRING TO BREAK WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVE.

AIRBAG COVER IS SEPARATING FROM THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF. CONSULTED WITH LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE AIRBAG COULD GO OFF AT ANY TIME. VOLKSWAGEN STATES THAT BECAUSE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN TAKATA RECALL THAT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY ACTION. VEHICLE HORN HAS ACTIVATED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE VEHICLE WAS ON ROADWAY.
