Engine problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Passat

2006 vw Passat vr6 3. 6l 1. /2. On a hot day (90 +/-) and the engine is in idle (normal around 650 rpm) unexpectedly the revs go over 1000 rpm. To keep the car stoped the foot brake pressure must be increased by the driver. This is quite hard to time because the problem does not occur at every stop/idle. It looks like that this occures more often with the a/c on. 3. So far I did nothing but I read that other vw Passat 2006 vr6 owners have the same issue. I will make a service and ask my dealer if he is aware of this problem next week.

1. Started hearing "ticking" noise from engine 2. "ticking" became louder, slow performance 3. Replaced intake cam / lifters, h. P. Fuel pump, valve cover gasket and sealant, vacuum pipe to leak detection pipe (all 2 times each).

When braking or idol, my 2006 vw Passat will have an engine surge that amounts to a sudden increase in rpm. This will make the car difficult to brake and has almost resulted in a accident numerous times. The car will continue to idol at this higher rpm until you begin driving again and the problem will likely occur at the next traffic light. It is very difficult to hold down the brake pedal under this increased engine speed and makes it difficult to bring the car to a stop. My wife struggles to keep the car stopped for 3 minutes at a traffic light because of the high amounts of force required to keep the brake pedal down and the car stopped. The problem seems to be extremely frequent when under hot temperatures or when the ac is being run. This has been ongoing for years but they have been unable to fix it. There are other reports of this happening from other drivers. I have taken it to a dealer 4 times to try to resolve the issue. They acknowledge the issue and can easily repeat it but have been unable to fix it. This car is now dangerous to drive, especially for my wife. Please help resolve this issue. Thanks.

2006 vw Passat 3. 6 l in shop for two weeks now with seized motor at just over 64k miles - oil light alarm came on suddenly at 70mph . . . . Immediately stopped vehicle and had roadside assistance tow to vw dealer. . . Been there ever since. . . Still waiting for vw to decide what they are going to do for me. . .

On a warm day with the a/c running, my 2006 Passat 3. 6l will have an engine surge increasing rpm to 1,000 while stopped. This has almost amounted in a crash on numerous occasions as it makes the car difficult to keep stopped and causes it to lunge forward. It also results in low fuel economy as the car idols much higher than the normal 600rpm.

Engine rpm increases when vehicle is stopped and air conditioner is running causing the need for additional pressure on brakes to prevent car from moving forward.

My 2006 Passat 3. 6 has problems when pressing gas pedal. . Vehicle seems to have a delay when pushing peddle. . You can push pedal down 1/4 way before vehicle even jumps rpm's. . Vehicle will then just jump forward. . This has caused me to almost get into 3 or 4 accidents because I have pulled out and car just sits there then will just take off. . Vehicle was at dealership and had update done but this didn't help my problem. . Update caused me to now have same problem but also have shifting problem. .

Engine idle speed increases to 900-1000 rpm at stops in warm/hot weather. This causes driver to increase pressure on brake to stop car safely. This idle speed may hold for several stops before returning to normal 650-700 rpm. If in stop and go traffic, the high idle will hold longer. It has been suggested that the high idle is in response to the warm weather causing increased resistance in the battery cable from the battery in the trunk of the car (2006 vw Passat v6 only) causing a drop in voltage received. The ecm increases engine idle speed to compensate.

Recurring engine misfire. There is a engine misfire that seems to occur mostly when it's very hot outside (arizona summers!) and significantly affects the car's ability to accelerate. I took it to the dealer who checked the fuel filter and found no problem. They reset the code and gave the car back to me. The problem is still occurring and I am scheduled to take the car in again. The dealership said they contacted vw America and vw America stated they know of no problem, but for me to bring the car in and attempt to recreate the circumstances under which the misfire occurs.

Events leading up to the failure ;the problem that I am about to describe has on a consistent basis occurred since I purchased the vehicle. Failure and its consequences ; there are three problems. The 1st problem being that when the vehicle is running/on and I am either in park, at a stop light or similar, the engine "sputters" as if it has lower grade/bad gas or is misfiring or has an air leak of some sort. Problem 2, when I am at a complete stop/parked and the vehicle is in drive, when I let off the brake to "creep" forward (like in traffic) the car shakes/throbs/inches forward as if the brakes are clamping down on the discs and letting go really quick. It is not a problem with the brakes because if I let the car "creep" in idle up a hill without using the brakes the car still shakes/throbs. The 3rd problem is that the throttle response is delayed anywhere from 1 full second to 3 full seconds. It's simple, when I press on the gas pedal, the car does not move/the engine does not rev anywhere from 1 to 3 full seconds. At highway cruising speeds, it does the same thing. In both instances whether it be at a stop light of cruising at highway speeds, this problem has nearly gotten me killed or seriously hurt. What was done to correct the failure = I took the vehicle in to have the dealership service department see what was causing these problems so they could fix it and they didn't come up with anything.
