Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat

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. . .

The fuel pump of my car stopped working last Monday March 11, 2018 for no reason.

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.

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.

There is a recall involving my 2008 volkswagon Passat sedan. The fuel pump recall. There isn't a remedy and I just feel very unsafe until something is fixed! I hope to hear back from somebody soon!.

The car has a strong gasoline smell both inside and out with no visible leaks. Mechanic performed a smoke test and found a hairline cracks in the top of the fuel pump thus allowing gasoline vapors to escape. Mechanic states he has seen this problem several times before in these Volkswagens.

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.

We received a safety recall for the fuel pump in August 2017 (safety risk descrpition loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. ) and it still has no fix. This is very worrying as it could lead to serious injury for my family. Sometimes it seems my fuel pump is hot under the rear passenger seat.

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.

The vw Passat is under recall for the fuel pump module. They do not have a fix yet and this has been since August. I have been with a car that does not run. When this first started the dealership kept sending me away not knowing what the problem was, then we learned about this recall and it is exactly what is happening to our car. The car will not run for more than 5 min. It stalls out. The car will start okay and as soon as you begin to drive you cannot pump the gas the entire car turns off, this happened twice in the middle of the street trying to get to a mechanic. This part (fule pump module) causes our battery to drain which has also caused our alternator to go out. We have replaced the alternator but we put in a new battery and as soon as we did this the fuel pump module drained it again and it continues to stall every 5 min, at a point it will not even start. This has been since August and vw has told us they still do not have a repair and not eta (lady said it could be months to years!).

On or around June 2017 vw service department replaced fuel pump and module/ o-ring due to fuel pump running with ignition off and module that goes to pump was very hot. Cost was $946. 98. On or around October 2017 I received a recall notice for the fuel pump running continuously resulting in a drained battery. To date, this repair has not been released and it has almost been a year. I would like to be reimbursed for my repairs. My car was stationary when the issues was first noticed (drained battery repeatedly).

Engine seized while driving on roadway due to metal shavings from "cam follower" for high pressure fuel pump. A poor camshaft lobe design caused metal shavings from cam follower to gouge into camshaft journals guides of cylinder head. A known vw issue, yet they have not looked to help consumers. The fsi 2. 0l engines are in millions of cars that still may be on the road today. Multiple vw and Audi popular models.

My vehicle (2008 vw Passat) started having acceleration issues and would only go up to 40 mph as well as also having a rough start up when turning my car on. I proceeded to take it into the dealership to have this looked at and at first they claimed that I needed a new high pressure fuel pump which would cost me around $700. Later in the day, I received a call back telling me that my intake camshaft was broken and that they could not make the repair without replacing this as well. Now my total was up to $2000. After doing some research and calling around to compare prices, I talked to a repairman that had to replace his camshaft in the same year vw car because of similar issues. I found that my model 2008 vw Passat was built with a faulty intake camshaft revision b which was found to be abrasive and causing friction with the fuel pump. Since 2008 vw found a sneaky way to replace this with a revision a camshaft and not recall the previous part, which has now, over time caused my $2,000 problem and could have put my family at risk of an accident due to acceleration issues. I guess this repair would have fallen under my powertrain warranty, which has since expired, but most car issues take longer than the warranty period anyways, especially those which occur over time with faulty parts. I have talked to vw and they cannot do anything for me and there is not an open recall on this part and never has been. The issue was just pushed under the rug, hoping to be ignored forever. Until now, I will not allow other to suffer what I am going through now and vw has a bad reputation with being dishonest right now so why wouldn't they hide yet another issue? please look into this for me and provide me with further steps to take action.

Engine would shut off within 1-90 seconds after starting, thereby disabling all accessories including power steering & brakes, causing loss o control of vehicle, sometimes while at high speed on highway. Diagnosed by local shop as a failure of the cam follower, which wore through, in turn causing failure of the high pressure fuel pump, as well as scoring of the intake camshaft, necessitating replacement of all three components.

Driving normally on the highway and the vehicle suddenly stopped running. Vehicle would not restart. Aaa advised and vehicle delivered to my local vw mechanic. I advised vw and they never heard of that problem. Fuel pump needed to be replaced. Car has 35000 miles. Vw customer service advised me that the 2008 Passat is not included in any campaign, such as a recall or warranty extension. Fuel pump was replaced.

Warned by other owners of 2006-08 Passats, I inspected the high pressure fuel pump, cam, and cam follower for abnormal wear. The high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) cam follower has been recognized as a flaw requiring warranty extension to 120,000 miles on the 2006-2007 models. This fault causes failure of the cam follower and the fuel pump shaft wears into the camshaft causing loss of fuel/speed, acceleration, or engine power upon failure. My vehicle exhibits identical early wear and failure as 2006-07 models, though vw refuses to extend warranty coverage for 2008 cars. Further consideration of 2008 vehicles with the identical problem should be considered. Volkswagen customer service has been contacted by several affected owners in this matter and is unwilling to acknowledge that this flaw recognized in 06-07 vehicles extends into some 2008 vehicles and is denying coverage of this safety/emissions issue. Vw customer care has denied any flaw or extended warranty for 2008 2. 0t owners despite the warranty extension for prior model years for the exact same problem.

Check engine light prompted me to take my 2008 vw Passat 2. 0t to the dealer to have code read. Advised it was a malfunction of the camshaft and the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) cam follower that has been recognized as a flaw meriting warranty extension on the 2006-2007 models. I have been informed that the 2007 model year was produced through 7/2007. My vehicle was manufactured in 8/2007 and thus has the 2008 model year, but the dealership service manager informed me that this was the same parts and the same problem as the prior years with extended warranty. This fault causes premature wear on the cam follower and the hpfp rod wears into the camshaft causing loss of fuel/speed, acceleration, or engine power upon failure. Seeing as how my vehicle has the same build as those of previous model years that were included in the warranty extension, further consideration of 2008 vehicles with the identical problem should be considered. Volkswagen customer service has been contacted by several affected owners in this matter and is unwilling to acknowledge that this flaw recognized in 06-07 vehicles extends into some 2008 vehicles and is denying coverage and disregarding the safety issue that follows failure of the camshaft due to the erosion of this part. Vw customer care was not able to produce proof that my vehicle had different or improved parts by way of a different set of part numbers installed. The technicians confirmed that my camshaft was identical to the recalled camshaft, and the cam follower wear was so extreme that the hpfp rod was eroding the cam surface directly. Vw customer care has denied any flaw or extended warranty for 2008 2. 0t owners despite the warranty extension for prior model years for the exact same problem.

I have a 2008 volswagen Passat 2. 0t. I bought this vehicle used with 66000 miles. After numerous visits to my dealer about the check engin light being on and them saying it was a sensor not a problem they would replace it. I was driving down interstate 65 doing 65mph the car sputtered and lost most power down a major interstate. This caused a quick reduction is speed. Come to find out the camshaft and high pressure fuel pump were destroyed by the two components grinding against each other. Now the 2006 and the 2007 vehicles both had this problem and Volkswagen put extended warranties on these vehicles. This could cause a accident sooner or later. Thank you.
