2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THEN HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DARKEN,POWER STEERING FAILED, ABS BRAKE LIGHT WARNING CAME ON, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, TPMS LIGHT CAME ON, LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE BECAME SLUGGISH WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION, SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND ALL LIGHTS IN CAR WENT OUT. I COULD BARELY CONTROL, MOVE OR TURN CAR. THIS HAPPENED AFTER MY 40K MILE SERVICE 4 DAYS AGO. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE AT THAT TIME.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS FOR SALE AT A DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED YET. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR THE AIRBAG PARTS SO THE DEALER CAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE CAR UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL AND THE AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. ACCORDING TO YOUR NHSTA STATEMENT, THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE SEATTLE DEALERSHIP IS STILL WAITING TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG WHICH MEANS IT IS NOT BEING REPLACED TIMELY. THEY HAD NO EXPECTED DATE FOR A NEW AIRBAG TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT.

" TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE AIR BAGS IN MY TWO VW'S FOR OVER A YEAR. I AM TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS THESE PARTS. IT IS PUTTING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER IN DANGER. WHEN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER HE ACKNOWLEDGES MY WORRIES BUT MINIMIZES THE RISKS. IF THEY EXPLODE MY DAUGHTER OR I COULD BE KILLED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE RISKS ARE MINIMAL. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAT VW CAN DO, OTHER THAN OFFERING TO GIVE ME MORE ON A TRADE IN. WHEN THEY ADMIT THAT MANY OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOTS HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. VW, AND I MEAN ALL OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS"MINIMAL" PROBLEM WILL CAUSE SOMEONES DEATH! INSTEAD OF A CHEAP FIX THEY WILL HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. NEVER, EVER BUY A VW!!! I BOUGHT MY VW'S FROM PRESTIGE VOLKSWAGEN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME!

SINCE THE MIL HAS RECENTLY ILLUMINATED IN MY VEHICLE I CONTACTED NAPLES VOLKSWAGEN IN NAPLES, FLORIDA TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED/REPAIRED PER THE SAFETY RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE WRITER, CHARLES, THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $128.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
