Check Engine Light On problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Passat

Purchased a 2007 Volkswagen Passat in 2013 from curry Honda dealership on peachtree ind blvd and they took it to Volkswagen dealer to get certified and inspected / Volkswagen found 5 recalls they said they updated, but 2 yrs later the check engine light came on and stayed on . . . . The sensor was bad which was found in the engine upon diagnose. Volkswagen dealer would not fix it on cobb pkwy and did not log it as an issue. I was unable to get emission inspection year to year and finally had no choice but to give it back to the bank / captiol one. Curry Honda refused to fix or take the car back.

We purchased our 2007 Passat 3. 6l 4-motion wagon and had issues with the airbags from day 1 (literally), and had the dealership replace the sensors under both seats within the first three days. Within a month, we began having issues with the tire pressure monitoring system. New tires fixed the tpms issue for about a week, then we began having issues again. A year after we bought the car, my wife had an accident (rear-ended someone), and the airbag did not deploy. We had to have the entire front-end repaired - $10,237 worth of repairs. After the repairs were completed, there was so much external noise than there was before the accident. Over the next 8 months, we began having issues with the check engine light coming on (and staying on). When the car shut off one day, right in the middle of (busy) traffic, I took it back to the repair shop to have them look at it. They took our 2007 Passat to the vw dealership, which made a blanket statement that none of the existing issues were related to the wreck. Therefore, the repair shop would not do anything more to fix the car, and since the car was no longer under warranty, the dealership would not cover the repairs either. On October 29, 2012, 14 months after the accident, the check engine light came on again, as it had many times before. However, on October 30, 2012, the engine died completely. We've since discovered that the bearings are completely gone and were told it will cost us $7,000 to replace the engine. But that still doesn't include repairs to the previously existing issues with the tpsm or the airbag.

False epc and check engine lights. When checked by dealer, they stated there was nothing wrong and only software update was needed. I was concerned that there was a software glitch that will affect the correct functioning of the vehicle.

Electrical problems from day one - constantly a new light on that never stayed on. Driver's airbag issue that vw says is an electrical problem under the driver's seat - a few hundred dollars to fix a few months ago, the check engine light came on and vw charged us to run a diagnostic test that came back with 12 failure codes, the two most severe being intake runner motor and high pressure pump. Then, not long after, the car literally shut down on the highway and we could hardly get to the side of the road (mind you no prior warning lights were present). The only one that came on for a split second was the epc (electronic power control) light before the car shut off. The vehicle had to be towed to vw dealer who after investigating the problem, said that the engine was shot. And, I almost forgot to mention that the air hasn't worked for 2 summers. Vw claims that this is because a bad compressor was put in the Passats. $1800 to fix. These issues are completely unacceptable and we don't think any of the above problems should be our responsibility to pay. Vw needs to step up and take responsiblity for their faulty engineering.

The contact owns a 2007 Volkswagen Passat wagon. While driving 70 mph, the check engine and epc lights illuminated. The vehicle would not accelerate and the engine began making a thumping sound. The contact did not notice any differences in the vehicle prior to the failures. The vehicle is currently being diagnosed by the dealer, and the engine is being replaced. The current and failure mileages were 21,670.

The engine stopped without any explanation in the high speed lane ( full tank of gas) while I was driving on I-91. I could not start engine again on freeway. Fortunately, we didn't have an accident. Aaa and police came there within five minutes and we could get off the freeway by towing. Before stopping, the check engine light and epc lights came on. My car is very new. I've just driven my car only for two weeks. The mileage of my car is about 900 miles.
