2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

ADBLUE HEATER ELEMENT FAILURE WAS COVERED UNTIL JULY NOW NOT PART OF EMISSIONS OR SWITCH FAILURE NHTSA #16V171000 90DEGREES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON

ADBLUE HEATER ELEMENT SHOULD BE PART OF DIESEL RECALL PART #561198970A WITH WAR.FOR EMISSIONS TO 80000 MILES

THE A/C OF THIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON UNTIL THE ENGINE HEATED UP TO 190 DEGREES. I ONLY HAD 40K MILES WHEN THE A/C SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK TO STANDARD. AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RECOVER, EVACUATE AND RECHARGE NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED, THE EXPANSION VALVE AND DRIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED..

TAKATA RECALL.... ALL VOLKSWAGEN DEALERS IN HOUSTON AREA SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR MY AIRBAG. THERE IS NO WAITLIST, NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN THIS DANGEROUS DEADLY AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. 11 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM IT ALREADY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED TWO NOTIFICATIONS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THERE IS A RECALL OF METAL FRAGMENTS THAT CAN COME THROUGH MY AIRBAGS AND THERE'S NO REMEDY WITH THE RECALL STARTING IN FEBRUARY

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 16V078000 (AIR BAG). HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. OVER 6 MONTHS AND NO SIGN OF REPAIRS. DRIVING DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO TEACH MY TEENAGER HOW TO DRIVE! TOO DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE (TAKATA RECALL). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS AROUND AND I WORRY EACH DAY I GET IN TO GO TO WORK. HOW CAN VOLKSWAGEN ADVISE CUSTOMER THAT IT IS "OKAY" TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS RECALL IS DEADLY TO THE CONSUMER IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. PLEASE HELP. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO SOLVE THIS FATAL PROBLEM.

2013 PASSAT TDI WITH 51K MILEAGE, CEL WENT ON A FEW DAYS AGO SO I WAS CONCERNED AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS RUN, I WAS TOLD THE ADBLUE HEADER UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE I HAD A FAULTY SENSOR. WAS GIVEN ESTIMATE OF $1200 TO FIX. WAS TOLD COST WILL NOT BE COVERED AT ALL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, IT SEEMS VWS DIESEL CARS ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, MOSTLY AFTER THE 3/36K WARRANTY PERIOD HAS PASSED AND THEN NOT HELPING OWNERS WITH COST OF THIS DEFECT. GIVEN THAT ALL THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CURRENT BUYBACK OPTION DUE TO DIESELGATE, I AM APPALLED THAT VW IS NOT OFFERING ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR THIS APPARENT YET NOT DECLARED DEFECT THAT SHOULD REALLY RESULT IN A FULL RECALL. I CONTINUE TO HOPE FOR A POSITIVE RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BUT AM CITING THIS COMPLAINT AS I SEE NUMEROUS SIMILAR VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS BROADER ATTENTION THAN WHAT IT IS GETTING FROM VOLKSWAGEN.
