I purchase a new 2003 Volkswagen Passat from burlington Volkswagen 2 years ago and have taken it back to the dealership at least 7 times since then for a myriad of problems, from airbag lights coming on to check enginge light to the latest of the car shutting off in the middle of the road.

3 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2004

I have owned my Passat for 17 months, I have replaced tires twice, and have had a total of three flat tires, two of which were the r rear. I read other complaints in regards to the r rear tire. Notified my dealer, they wouldn't do anything, stated that I would have to contact the tire company. Well, two different brand tires, and still the same problems.
