general problems of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat

My son bought this used car. The stop engine light came on, got an oil change but the light did not go away. Were told that the oil pressure might be the issue so took it to the mechanic. We were told it was most likely the oil pressure switch. There were multiple codes(cones) and were cleared. The switch was replaced but the engine light's still on & the stop engine comes on but goes off. It appears it is a gas pump issue that it might be manufacture fault. Is there a recall for this issue on this 2008 Passat? it's my [xxx] 's first car, he saved & bought it but it's dangerous. . . He got it diagnosed & was told it's a $5,000 job. If it's an oil/gas pump manufacturer issue, is Volkswagen responsible? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

There is a recall with the fuel pump and the manufacturer is claiming that I need to replace certain parts to be able to do the recall.

When I turn on ac the car loses power and the batter icon and check engine light comes on and the steering wheel locks up. After I turned off ac and attempted to restart car after a few trys it started back up and the check engine light went off. . This had never happened before.

Had fuel module recall fixed at dealership and 5 months later the problem is back the fix for the recall does not work or last needs to have another recall put out on the 2008 Volkswagen Passat.

I had the recall for the fuel pump repaired in August 2018 by the wilmington dealership. I don't believe it was either done right or however they did it did not fix the problem because in October 2018 my car is having the recall problem starting again which is causing gasoline to run out immediately and this time it's worse than before the fumes are now in the vehicle even when the car isn't on. I believe I should have this recall issue repaired again because it should not have only lasted 2 months and needing the fuel pump module to be replaced/repaired again but problem is worse the second time around. Acceleration and stalling is becoming more of an issue again.

Water leaking in from sunroof. Foot wells on passanger side filled with water. Water drips from sun visor attachment. Air bag fault light came on soon after I noticed this.

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.

Recall #17v509 fuel pump control module 8/16/17 I had to have this repaired 1/6/18 as it was causing my car to shut off while driving and not start. The following was repaired fuel pump in tank with high pressure, module, washer, fuel pump control unit, fuel pump controller. The vehi.

Smell of gasoline inside car.

Car stalling while driving same issue has happened twice within two months.

On 9/19/2017 while driving on the freeway coming home from soccer practice the headliner came apart from the roof causing rear visibility issues. We contacted vw customer care and they will not repair despite there being many other vw owners who have experienced this (passatworld forum). We have owned eight different cars, Honda, Toyota, etc. And have never had this happen so this is clearly a vw defect.

Too many recalls!!!.

My 2008 Volkswagen Passat has cut off while driving. There is no warning light, it simply turns off and flashes the battery signal and turns off. The other times no other light is present. Due to this issue, changed out fuel pump,crank position sensor, engine harness, spark plugs, O2 sensor, and oil change. Issue still persists. I almost got hit by a semi truck when it cut off. There is no check engine light present at all. The battery is good. It's as if I'm driving and the fuel cuts off. I already changed the fuel pump and engine harness, don't know what else could cause this. Big safety issue as car gives no warning and just turns off while on highway or when coming to a stop sign while the car is in motion.

Water is accumulating on the carpet of the passenger side. . . Both front and rear. . . Happens after a rainfall. Carpets get soaked. No other visible water damage on the interior. Vehicle does have a moon roof.

While traveling at approximately 50 miles per hour on state highway car suddenly lost all power. Steering became difficult but was able to pull off to side of road and coast into parking lot. Car would not start for 24 hours to move to repair shop. After difficulty diagnosing due to loss of all power, it was determined that the power supply relay was apparantly bad. Could find no recall or extended warranty for this issue. Should not happen on a car with so few miles which has been well maintained. Very dangerous and scary issue! was very lucky to be able to pull over in time to avoid traffic.
