general problems of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat

I received the call so I would like to know how I can contact you or when I could make an appointment to take my car thank you very much my car has lights on air bags brand I would love to bring my car as soon as possible thank you very much!.

I bought the car around mid-September 2019. I've been driving it since and just recently, I'd say December 9th, 2019 to be exact, got a letter in the mail saying my vehicle had a recall for the airbag. I went online to the car brands website and looked up my exact car to verify. Upon doing this, I discovered it had a second recall for the fuel pump. I took the car in for the free repairs, only to be told that they can't fix the fuel fump issue as my check engine light is on. From what I've been told by a mechanic I went to, the light is on due to a leak in my vacuum pump. He said it'd cost about $600 for part and labor, but that this fix isn't extremely important and that my car should run well enough without this fix. Me being broke, I didn't get it fixed. Well, now that I'm here to get my recall parts fixed, I'm being told I can't get one of them fixed, and I'd have to pay around $124 for a diagnosis of why the check engine light is on, or pay the estimated cost to fix what's casuing it (which I'd only know if I allowed the diagnosis). So no matter what, I'd have to pay money, or just not get my fuel pump, which was recalled, fixed. Is this something they can do? seems unlikely they'd have to clear the light to fix the fuel pump. . .

Tl takata recall. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was coasted over to the side of the road and then towed to the owner's residence. The contact was not notified, but the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 17v509000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. In addition, the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 18v148000 (air bags). Joe holland Volkswagen (150 maccorkle Ave sw a, south charleston, wv 25303, (304) 744-1561) was contacted, but did not respond within a reasonable timeframe to address the two recall repairs. The vehicle was unable to be driven due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.

Hello NHTSA I have a 2008 Volkswagen Passat that was recalled about an airbag this to me was unsafe I tried to get it fixed a soon as possible,getting to the Volkswagen dealership I leave my Passat to them to fix it like the letter I received in the mail said I would pay anything out of pocket, I get my car in less than an our supposedly fixed my air bag but bit only did they change my air bag but they tampered with a few other things one of them being the fuel pump control moduel because according to them the cars parts where all recalled,now I'm getting to my complain I took my car in in good condition now my car turns off at random time being in the street or in the freeway driving when I fill it up with gas I have to strip on my engine for it to turn on or it won't start,also the car keeps marking tire pressure every day I used this car before I took it into Volkswagen , my car was not like this I gave them a call to make an appointment but I don't really trust the people who I believe messed up my vehicle it is in the bakc now sitting u can contact me at (xxxx) my name is (xxxx) thansk you for your time parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

When the car is started it immediately shuts itself off and says steering column lock defective. I took it to the dealer today and they told me this could cause more serious problems while driving, especially the airbag system. This seems like a very common issue with these cars and could potentially lead to life threatening situations while driving. A simple google search reveals hoards of people who experience the same issue with this model Passat.

I'm concerned that there could be an interruption in electrical power to the fuel pump control module. This could result in the fuel pump running continuously, resulting in a drained battery and/or a no start condition, or cause a loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. In addition, the airbag recall is a great concern. I'm also concerned for any other recalls associated with my Volkswagen. Now that takata has settled the lawsuit, I hope my concerned can be resolved expeditiously.

Got recall notice took to dealership Nov. First showed recall card service manager said I would get something else in mail and then to come back. Deadline to file claim Dec. 17 2017.

Nothing.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Volkswagen Passat. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v078000 (air bags). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called a local dealer (bommarito Volkswagen of hazelwood located at 400 brookes drive hazlewood, mo 314-731-7777) and was informed that the recall remedy parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Takata recall. I took the vehicle in for the takata recall to the autobarn city Volkswagen located in chicago, IL. The first time I took it in, on March 31st, the consultant told me that it was too late to work on it even though I brought it in at 5 pm while they closed at 7 pm. The option they gave me was to leave the car overnight and pick it up the next day. I needed the car over the weekend so they rescheduled my appointment to the folloiwng Saturday, the 8th. On the 8th, I had the luck to speak with a different consultant by the name of brayner asatouri. When he found out that the vehicle had a re-built title he told me that they will not be doing the recall. He told me to hope that the airbag does not malfunction while im in the vehicle but that there was nothing they can do about it and that I was not the first recall he had to send home. It left me wondering that I should junk the car if there was a chance of somebody being harmed by the airbag. With a little research and many calls to the Volkswagen care team, an investigation was started and it turns out that the consultant gave me false information. I have to use the vehicle to go to work, go places and do some everyday day activities. While the investigation was going on, I had to use the vehicle for two weeks before they could work on the car. For two weeks I was put at risk and everybody around me because a Volkswagen service consultant would not work on the takata airbag recall. He did not make any effort to find out from his superiors if the car qualified for the repair let alone explain some options to make the vehicle safer. Fortunately, nothing happened during the time that they rejected to work on the vehicle but if something would have happened, I dont know how the dealer would react since they neglected the safety recall. Who knows how many vehicles have been neglected in this dealer?.

Takata safety recall notice 69m9.

These parts have been outstanding since April and volkswagon does not have any eta for the takata parts for air bag ruptures.

Takata recall: we got a letter from vw in April 2016 about this. I called the dealer this week and they still have no repair for the problem. It's dangerous and it's been a long time, so I don't understand the delay. The date below is the approximate date of the first letter. The letter identifies the problem NHTSA 16v078, safety recall 69m9.

Takata recall NHTSA 16v078 man. # 69m9 recall issued 6 months ago and "no remedy available" still.

Received notification over 1 year ago about issue, told to wait for further instructtions none has been received. Vehicle safety issue not remedied.

It has been over a year since this recall was expanded to include vw, yet neither the dealers, nor the manufacturer have parts to support the recall; yet parts are clearly available as vehicles are still being produced. Volkswagen's failure to provide replacement parts for a safety related recall with the potential to inflict serious bodily injury or death is unconscionable and reckless. Over a year since the recall began and they still do not have a timeline of when parts may be available, this clearly seems to be an issue of motivation. Instead they just sent letters that a recall exists, not very helpful in correcting a safety issue with life threatening potential; yet other vehicles have completed nearly 13 million corrections.
