Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2002 Volkswagen Passat

Radio went completely dark. Took it in, they unplugged and reconnected it. Went dead again a few weeks later. This time, it drained the battery completely while it was "dead" so I had to get a jump. Took it in and the dealer told me they'd had several vehicles, mostly Passats but also jettas, where the radios were going bad and draining batteries through the comfort control module. They had to replace both the radio and the battery. Car only has 12,000 miles on it.

Ignition coils failed two times, resulting in loss of power and causing vehicle to shudder. Coils were supposedly replaced. On a separate occasion (following the coil repair) vehicle completely shut down on the interstate- going from 80 to 0 mph in the matter of seconds. I had already been driving the vehicle for over an hour. I lost all power and was barely able to get the car to the shoulder. Problem was diagnosed as bad gas (not possibly the coil). In addition, my rear door quit closing, headlights have burnt out, filters have gone bad causing front of car to become flooded, vacuum hose defective, rear brakes went bad, and radio quit working. Parts were replaced either under the warranty or out of my pocket. Vw refuses to admit there is a problem with this car. I have approximately 40000 miles on it.
