Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Passat

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, there was an abnormal fuel odor in the vehicle. The contact stated that after inspection of the vehicle under and around the vehicle, the contact lifted up rear passenger seat and noticed that the fuel pump flange on the top of the fuel pump was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. The VIN was not available. Ah.

I purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer on 7/26. I test drove it and everything was running smoothly. The vehicle had 124k miles. I bought the car in las vegas, nv with the intent on taking it to California for my teenage daughter to have in college. On 7,30, I was driving and the vehicle would not accelerate ast 20, like it was placed in neutral. This occured in the evening so I could not call anyone. I coasted off the road. Turned the vehicle off, then restarted and it worked fine. I looked on this website and saw there were recalls for the fuel pump module. I called a dealership who couldn't do it until late August. Findlay Volkswagen scheduled me for 8/6. I was leaving town so I left the vehicle with family. I picked the vehicle up on 8/17 and headed to California. The same thing occured twice while on the road. We called a local vw dealer, they said it would cost $144 just to look at it. I took it to a local mechanic who tested the vehicle and said it the actual fuel pump. I contacted Volkswagen corporate, who were very responsive but can not help. Here I am, with a vehicle that could stall on the road, causing an accident that can harm or kill others. Volkswagen knows its the faulty module that can cause the pump to fail, but leaves customers high and dry to have to replace the pump. My daughter saved her own money to buy a reliable vehicle and now we have to fork over more money. No engine lights are on. It's disappointing and sad.

On 2 July 2018 I received notice of the fuel pump ecm recall. I immediately went to my local dealer and had the recall work performed - replacement of the ecm, relocation of the ecm from top of pump to rear right wheel well. On 7 July 2018, I folded the rear seat down to expand the cargo area of the vehicle. On 15 July 2018, I returned the rear seat to seating position. Later that day, the fuel pump failed while driving. Took to nearest dealer who charged $140 diag fee to tell me the fuel pump was bad - well, duh! the issue correlates to the ecm being recently traded out. The fuel pump itself was replaced 3 months earlier. They didn't notice the coincidence. Vwusa merely played a game of operator between me and the dealer and was totally impotent and unwilling to intervene. It was their recall work that killed my fuel pump and now I need to pay for another pump? never mind invalid diagnostics and fees, and time lost.

I received a notice about a recall of the fuel pump module I took it into Volkswagen they told me they replaced it but yet my but that myfuel pump went out it leaking gas and they send me on my way they told me it was gonna cost me $700 . I have looked into this and actually went to fuel my job goes out the fuel pump goes out toso I contacted them and they told me that there's nothing that they could do that that has nothing to do with the module.

My car was driving fine until Feb 2018 after I get it back from getting the suspension redone. After driving it 20 miles my car stops running as I am driving through a major road leaving the military base. I get it towed to the Volkswagen dealership and they state that the high pressure fuel pump had failed (after 2 months of fixing my regular fuel pump) causing the engine to loose compression and now they said I need to pour in a new engine and new high pressure fuel pump and a turbo that was scraping metal shavings into my engine as well.

Fuel pump control module I have a special needs child that requires me to be in my vehicle 85% of the time I have loved my vw Passat and enjoyed driving it up till about 1. 5 years its been one fix after another some major some not ive had check engine light problems, adding oil in between changes tire rod etc this issue im having at this time is on recall list ( fuel pump control) I have been put in several unsafe moments left stranded. I have been on hwy my car stalls out cause driving back an fourth to duke hospital im on hwy alot, I am still paying on this vehicle w/ ( $7000. 00) owed on it im uncomfortable putting my children an myself in my car I have contacted vw several times about this with same response no info no replacement part no nothing. . . . . . . I have had the air bag recall fixed but this is a very very serious issue right here I will go above an beyond to get something done I am without a car at the moment last night on 1/22/2018 I was left once again stranded this time didnt start back like getting no fuel very unhappy . . Please get this straight ASAP I still have to pay my loan for a car that isnt running at 100% with a major recall.

The smell of gasoline inside the car is unbearable, I saw leaks from the bottom, running down the gas tank, so I removed the back seat, and found that the top of the fuel pump was cracked in many parts, and fuel comes out, non stop, through those cracks. This is not supposed to happen with the fuel pumps. It is an extremely dangerous issue, specially when the electrical connexion are right there. A little spark can be catastrophic. A few years ago, Volvo had a recall on this exact issue. I think vw should do it also. God knows how many lives are in danger right now. Mostly children that ride in the back seats. I am trying to cover the cracks with a paste, but it seems it is not working. The gasoline keeps coming out even when the car is parked and off for a long time, I disconnected the pump, and it does not stop. I did not take pictures before I put the paste, but even with the paste, the gas is coming out through it.

Fuel pump control module we contacted Volkswagen about the failure of the fuel pump control module and were told that this one is not covered under the NHTSA recall. The problem: replacing the battery in September 2017 and having a starting problem in mid-October. Took the car to a Volkswagen dealer. . . They ran test to find out the problem, well the battery failed the test so they had to replace but at the same time they told us the fuel pump control module was failing. They stated it was heating up and should be replaced. When I did some background research on a fuel pump module I found recall notices which included 2006-2010 Passat wagons which is our car. The recall states," the pump condition also could cause the fuel pump to run continuously, draining the battery and making the car unable to start". This was happening on the month old battery we just had replaced. So I want to find out if this car can be included in the recall because it is a problem that is in keeping with the recall!.

We asked jack daniels to fix the fuel pump as we received notice of the recall. They said they could not do it. Our car now bucks at high speeds, particularly when driving uphill. What should we do? we do not think the car is safe to drive.

Late September 2017 the check engine light went off in my 2007 Passat while I was driving to work. I took the Passat in for a repair the following day, and the high pressure fuel pump was repaired, after driving off the lot, the check engine light came back on, less than 100 yards away. I did not drive the car, after the repair, other than to my drive way, less than 5 miles away. While we were trying to figure out what to day, less than a week later, October 12, 2017, I received a recall notice in the mail, that what I had just repaired was a recall, and safety issue. We called the shop, and they informed us that since it was a recall to wait for vw to resolve the issue. After multiple phone calls with vw corporate office, and rude customer service reps who hung up on me when I asked questions regarding the repair, I finally got a hold of someone that was kind enough to listen. She made a phone call to have our car looked at, the closest vw dealership and we had it towed in only for them to tell us there were several issue wrong with the vehicle. So we called our local vw certified mechanic, to verify the issues, since he had just seen it, and he informed that none of what they were telling us was wrong with the vehicle. We then had it towed back to our mechanic locally, and he looked at the car again. Since we had been out our second vehicle for a couple of months, we asked him to fix it so we could again use it. The mechanic had the car for two weeks, when he thought it was repaired, he would find more issues. After at least three phone calls of more issues, it was repaired, with a hefty bill, of near 2k dollars, ontop of the over 2k we put in to replace the recall a month earlier. I decided to trade in my car as I needed something reliable and safe. I have been checking on line since October 2017 for repair remedies, of which three is none, as of 1/11/18.

I contacted the Volkswagen headquarters concerning a recall notice for, a fuel pump module and was informed the part was not available at this time. According to the recall this part could result interruption of electrical power to the fuel pump, drained battery, fuel pump running continuously and loss of power while vehicle is in motion resulting in possible injury or crash. I am already experiencing trouble with driving this vehicle. The company suggested to pay for the repairs and I would be reimbursed. I am not in a position to due that monetarily. I believe the company should provide a temporary replacement until this matte is resolved. This is the second recall for this vehicle, the first was airbags which was replaced, thank you for your assistance concerning this matter.

There is an outstanding safety recall that opened 08-16-2017 involving the fuel pump control module. Volkswagen says a repair is not yet available - after nine months! this is unacceptable.

On a Tuesday or Wednesday in early June 2017, I was accelerating from about 20 miles/h to 40 miles/hour on braddock road eastbound while on its bridge crossing the capital beltway (I-495 in va) when the vehicle suddenly jolted forward. No other indicators went on at the time, but the check engine light illuminated the next time I started the vehicle. I took the vehicle to vw of fredericksburg (va) for diagnosis and repair. At the time, it was on its first replacement low pressure fuel pump/control module set that was installed at priority vw of chester, va, in late September 2014. Replication of the June 2017 problem took just a day in the shop, but diagnosing the core issue and replacing the associated parts took another 5 weeks. The fuel pump and control module had to be replaced under another recall, plus a portion of the 1st replacement fuel pump lodged in the fuel line running from the fuel tank to the engine. That required replacement of several fuel lines and associated fuel system components. The relevant portion of the final bill totaled over $2000. The $470 portion covering the low pressure fuel pump and its control module were taken care of by vw of America, but the $1500-1600 portion covering the rest of the fueling system was not.

First of all the tekata airbags are a recall. The fuel pump module. It all started woh phen the fuel pump modules failed and the car would turn on but turn right off and I was told it was the fuel pump modules when I had it diagnosed. Now it leaks out a lot of gas in four different spots under the car on passengers side. When we parked the car we started noticing this 4 months ago.

Takata recall,fuel pump control module recall, wirrs for headlamps failty. Head lamps go out while driving sometimes, faulty parking break that has been fixed and does not work again. No fix for fuel module recall. Car stalls while driving in traffic. Paid 5200 out of pocket for both recalls. Car can not be inspected due to recall with no fix. Been fixing the recall problems out of pocket since November 2014. Also fuel cap light comes on while driving and gas gauge does not work. Both also have been repaired and are again now faulty.
