Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Passat

As I drive the car "hesitates". Its almost as if it accelerates and decelerate on its own. As I look online I see there was a recall regarding this issue as its a fuel pump but as I call the dealership they state there is no recall on my specific vehicle.

The car battery is fine, the car shuts off immediately when pushing on brake, leaks brake fluid, cannot keep running, cannot get to vw to get the current 4 recalls taken care of unless I can pay for towing, can't run because of fuel pump and the apparent issues vw is having already on other 2010 models brake system, this is the same year and it is obvious that the Passat 2010 are having the same issues with the abs! Volkswagen will not to the vehicle even the issue of inability to drive is due to the recall of fuel pump and the not yet recalled 2010 Passat brakes (abs) , causing it to shut offf. The electrical goes haywire. Sorry for non tech terms but this is what is going on, it immediately says service brakes then shuts off. Brake fluid is leaking, as well as coolant.

Fuel pump cracks and leaks fuel. Fuel pump resides under rear passenger seat. Fuel pump control module sits on top of fuel pump. Fuel pump control module gets really hot and may ignite leaking fuel???.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Passat. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to Volkswagen of alamo heights (located at 1402 ne loop 410 expressway, san antonio, TX 78209, (210) 828-1201) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced.

There is a known issue with the fuel pump control module. Volkswagen has been aware of this since 8. 16. 2017. On certain vehicles, 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. The solution is to replace the fuel pump control module, however, as of today, my vehicle is still not showing as eligible for this repair, despite the fact that this has been a known issue for more than 8 months.

There was an interruption in electrical power from the fuel pump control module. This resulted in the fuel pump running continuously, resulting in a drained battery and no start condition, or cause a loss of motive power while the vehicle was idle at traffic lights. Took the car to vw garage who were aware of the problem said there would be a safety recall soon, but I should pay for repair and claim money back once recall was active, was told this would be early part of 2018. Still no recall and over $400 out of pocket. Car stalled and cut out at traffic lights due to this fault, vw were very aware of problem but as yet no recall made, despite vw assuring me there would be one.

1. Takata airbag inflator (psan inflator) - ongoing unfixed recall item 2. Fuel pump control module- ongoing unfixed recall item -both items have had recall notices dating back to 2017 and beforehand where fixes have not been available to dealership/repair locations.

There is a recall on the fuel pump for volkwagen Passat August 30, 2017. My fuel pump is not working properly. I have been trying since August to get it replace. I have called corp several times but they "do not have a fix for it yet" meanwhile I am told by the local volkwagen repair shop my issues with losing power driving is the fuel pump. I can have it fix but I will need to pay for it and I am told it is $2000 and then "try to get reimbursed from Volkswagen". Please help!!!!.

Fuel manifold under the back seat of the vehicle was cracked due to the wiring harness placement and pressure from occupants in the back seat caused the manifold to crack and spew fuel all over the electrical harness. Poor placement of the electrical harness for the fuel pump or poor engineering caused this manifold to crack. Very dangerous having fuel leaking out at a high volume onto the electrical connection to the fuel pump. Fire and or explosion danger!!!!.

My car stalled as I was starting to accelerate through a busy intersection on the way to work and caused an oncoming car to lock up his tires and swerved to avoid hitting me. The car would restart but not run enough to clear intersection for 10-12 attempts. After clearing intersection I was able to park car and leave it for rest of day. When returning to car it started and ran fine on the way home from work. I continued to drive the car for next 2 days with same failures happening only 1 time a day but not at same time or place with no warning or check engine light. On 3rd day a check engine light occurred and upon reading with obd ii computer is was p2293 fuel pressure regulator 2 performance error. I have since taken the vehicle to the vw shop and they are stating I have a bad electric fuel pump issue in the tank and need to replace it along with the control module at a cost of $900. In addition they are saying my rear main engine seal needs to be replace at a cost of $1600 although not related to stalling issue. They fuel pump I have found very similar issues described on internet with similar years and it is a safety issue. It should be a warranty recall not a user responsible issue. I work for a large global automotive supplier to and no that this failure not acceptable for vw and definitely should not be for its consumers. I called vw customer care and they said they will not do anything for the cost of either repair since it is out of warranty. This will likely be the last vw I will every purchase.
