general problems of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat

My car stalled on me while I was driving and would not start. I was told I need a new feul pump module. I took it to the dealership to get it replace and the feul pump but the car will not start.

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.

This is all about vw Passat 2008 2. 0t, it was a rainy day on Saturday (Nov-14) engine started misfire and gave flashing engine check light, immediately went to see the vw service to get the feedback, service guy guessed it might caused due to misfire in one or more cylinder and took vehicle back with engine fluid topoff, on the way back home the engine check light came and stayed constant. So on Monday morning went to vw service to get full diagnose, service guy gave p300 and p301 as random misfires and did additional findings saying intake manifold needs DE-carb with $1000+ in service charge, I declined the repair and got the vehicle back with cleared code. Now the engine is not running smooth and seems it lost turbo power. Even during freeway take over if I press hard on gas peddle engine light flashes for couple times and there is no faster pick up to do smooth over take, if I choose run vehicle under this condition it may not be safe on roads. I read similar complaints reported here. Planning to take back to service center to see if they got any possible recall updates from vw.
