general problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Passat

Stalled out as I started to accelerate from a stop light. It's like not getting and fuel. Possibly some type of issue pertaining to that then my airbag light keeps flashing. Floor board lights cut on an off for no reason. Electrical equipment possibly incorrect?.

My vehicle does. Sudden stop while I'm driving emergency brake lights up nd then on dash it state to stop vehicle pull over and doesn't want to advance to move out of danger from traffic on streets and freeway. Then I won't want to advanced at time and the prnd all light up at one or none at all at time. This has happened about x 4 times last year and now it keeps doing it every time. So know I just keep my car parked because I'm afraid of putting my kids in danger I can't even take it in to a dealer for airbag recall.

Takata recall. The past two weeks my vehicle has not started as it normally does. It takes two or three key pushes to get my engine to start upon starting my car, and then it fires up. It is difficult to get up to and maintain speeds on the highway. If and when I am maintaining speed on the highway its common for the engine to hiccup and then return back to its speed without any change in acceleration. Going up hills it lacks power and if there is more than one person in the car when going up a hill the car will misfire. On top of all of this it is practically drinking gas like water and I normally get great gas mileage. It is starting to give off a fuel smell while driving too and my mechanic does not know why.

I was in motion driving on a street and then the vehicle made a bump noise and began losing power. I pulled over as the dashboard said the car battery is dead. I tried to restart the car and it wouldn't turn over only cranks. I called a tow truck to pick me up and move my car. He tried to jump it before parking the car and told me my battery is fine.

The engine lost it's power, gas consuption is so high, engine is shaking and noisy and wlectrical controle is down randomly. Am scared of driving it.

There is 2 safety recalls on my cars VIN number an my dealership I got it from wobt fix it I've asked over an over I've only had the car for about 8 or 9 months. Im still making payments on it but rarely driving it.

I have received several recall notices but they are not available and I am afraid my kids could have a fatal accident.

Driving 65 on the freeway in heavy rain, car made horrible sound and lost acceleration power. Almost involved in accident , however managed to pull to shoulder when the car then filled with a gas smell. Called for assistance and was towed 100 miles back to my mechanic. Upon inspection, mechanic discovered that the catalytic converter disconnected at the turbo flange. He also stated that he had fixed the exact same problem in my exact vehicle make/model the week prior. Contacted vw to see if this was covered under the 80k miles emissions warranty, only to discover that in California the warranty only goes to 70k miles. The entire catalytic converter was replaced to the tune of $1,150. The mechanic stated that the replacement catalytic converter from vw was much more sturdy than the original installed , indicating that vw is aware of the issue. Additionally, he stated it was odd that a car dealership stocks that part as it is not too common to replace the catalytic converter under 100k miles.

My car seems like its looses power or dont want to go at any speed when I need to speedup and when I put it in park position the rpm needle keeps going up or down I took it to my mechanic he check for any codes and came out that coil #1 and #3 were bad.

Car continues to stop while being driven.
