2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME, BUT WOULD LIKE IT FIXED SOON, OR BOUGHT-BACK/TRADED-IN FOR A FAIR VALUE BY A VW DEALERSHIP.

AFTER THE NOX SENSOR WENT IN THIS CAR EXACTLY A MONTH TO THE DAY LATER THE ADBLUE HEATER IS SHOT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE MIL LIGHT CAME ON. A SCAN SHOWED IT IS THE ADBLUE HEATER. THIS IS THE 2ND EMISSIONS RELATED PART TO GO IN THIS CAR SINCE THE DIESEL SCANDAL BROKE AND THE 2ND ISSUE IN A MONTH.

MECHANIC FOUND A CODE FOR A DEFECTIVE ADBLUE LEVEL SENSOR AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CHECK THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. THEY REMOVED THE ADBLUE TANK AND INSTALLED AN UPDATE KIT. YES, UPDATE KIT, WHICH TELLS ME VOLKSWAGEN KNOWS THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL LEVEL SENSOR EQUIPMENT. FINAL COST OF THE REPAIR: $1053.51. THIS SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM, OR RECALL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A 200 MI. COUNTDOWN BEGAN INDICATING THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WE WERE OVER 500 MILES FROM HOME ON THE WEEKEND. WE HAD TO DRIVE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR HOME 10 HOURS TO NEAREST DEALER WITH THE THREAT OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE. WE COULD NOT TURN THE CAR OFF, NOR STALL IT AS THE CAR INDICATED IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT WAS THE NOX SENSOR. I PAID $625 PLUS TAX TO FIX PART OF THE FRAUDULENT EMISSIONS SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION AFTER CONTACTING THE VW DEALER FOR 6+ MONTHS. THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THIS RESPONSE SINCE FEBRUARY WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION

"TAKATA RECALL" WE ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS REPAIRED OR GIVEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM?????!!!! ELECTRICAL - ANOTHER DEATH TRAP!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS REPAIRED OR GIVEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE?????!!!!! SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER LAWSUIT!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT AND VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL TRYING TO SELL OUR VOLKSWAGON PASSAT 2012 AT OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ON 8/22/2016. WAS NOTIFIED BY CHEVY DEALER THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ON RECALL. WE HAD NO IDEA OUR AIRBAGS WERE NOT SAFE AND UNDER A RECALL. WE WERE TOLD THEY CAN NOT RE-SELL THIS CAR AND WE BASICALLY CAN ONLY RECEIVE WHOLESALE VALUE FOR IT. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED BY VOLKSWAGON THAT WE HAD A RECALL. CALLED LOCAL VOLKSWAGON DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANT REPLACE BECAUSE NONE ARE AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!! THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. WE NEED TO GET THE BAGS REPLACED OR VOLKSWAGON SHOULD PROVIDE A SAFE CAR FOR US TO USE UNTIL THEY CAN REPLACE THE BAGS.

TAKATA RECALL: VW COULD CARE LESS IF I GET KILLED. MY LEASE IS UP IN OCT 2016 AND THEY STILL WON'T FIX THIS AIRBAG BUT DOESN'T MIND ME DRIVING A PRODUCT THAT IS UNSAFE. EXECUTE THE CORPORATE HEADS SO THAT OTHERS GET THE MESSAGE.
