I've had to get my 2005 pasat fixed 3 tiems for engine sludge issues and it's happening to it again. It has cost me nearly $4000 and counting.
I purchased a new 2005 vw Passat and needed to have two of the ignition coils replaced. In both situations, the car suddenly lost power creating a dangerous situation. In addition to losing power, the check engine light starting flashing and I needed to exit the roadway. I disposed of that vehicle and purchased a certified pre-owned 2005 vw Passat 4 motion. I have now had to have one of the ignition coils replaced. Again I was driving along and the vehicle suddently lost power and started running very rough. This time I was in an area with very little population and a severe snow storm without cell service.
Oil pump failure leading to engine falue. Requiring engine replacement.
The contact owned a 2005 Volkswagen Passat station wagon. While the vehicle was parked, it caught fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire has not been determined. There is a fire report but the contact does not have a copy. There were no deaths, injuries and no police report. The current and failure mileages are 40000.
Water leaks inside passenger floor.
When making a turn from a stop position, the car stalls. This also happens when going forward into traffic. I have reported this to the dealer on several occasions but they were unable to solve the problem. I feel this is a very dangerous situation. The mechanic went on a test drive with the consumer and he noticed that she drove with both feet, the mechanic explained that the transmission could not determine if the vehicle should sstop or go forward when turning, and therefore it stalled. The consumer stated she has made an effort to use only one foot and the problem seemed to be resolved. Updated 10/31/07.
Twice the floor board in the right back seat flooded due to an improperly installed pollen filter. The second flooding caused my auto transmission module to short and put the car in limp mode.
