I owned a 2000 vw Passat. My car failed several times upon acceleration during passing or accelerating onto the expressway. I had it into the shop at least eight times. The vw rep insinuated that I was doing something to the vehicle. They finally allowed me to trade for a 2003. There is now a recall on the ignition coil starting with 2001. I think you had better include 2000 on that recall.
Consumer states while driving the ignition coil broke causing lost of acceleration. Please provide any additional information. Ts.
