general problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Passat

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph and going uphill, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. An audible sound was heard and the parking brake warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and shifted the vehicle into park. The contact was then unable to shift the vehicle out of park. The vehicle was turned off and restarted several times before the vehicle shifted out of park and into drive. The vehicle was then driven to the residence. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to Volkswagen of clarksville (406 e lewis and clark pkwy, clarksville, in 47129) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.

Vw found out that the timing chain is defective in their vw cc 2. 0 t engine. This part can go out at anytime. If you are traveling at a high speed you can be fatally injured if this timing chain goes out. It hasn't happened but I was warned. With the solution of a 3800. 00 repair.

Drove car without problems. Came back an hour later and it started, but engine was shaking. Moved it across parking lot and shut engine off. Next time I tried to turn it on, would not start. Took it to mechanic, said that timing chain broke and ruined the rest of the engine. Did research and found this to be a common issue with vw engines. Faulty timing chains are used which cause catastrophic engine failure leaving driver at risk if this happens when driving. Even when not driving, the possibility of such a common occurrence from one of their products failing and ruining the rest of the car is unfair to consumers and Volkswagen should be held accountable beyond warranty liabilities for any of their vehicles that this happens to. They should not be allowed to build faulty engines and leave consumers to foot the bill for their shoddy designs and workmanship. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

I have owned this car for beraly one month. 2 days after purchasing the 02 sensors went bad. 1 week later my pcv valve went bad. And 2 days after that my car stalled on me while driving down a canyon and would not start again. I lost control and ended up on the side of the road. I though I was going to kill myself. After sitting there for about an hour the car turned on but was extremely shaky and would stall the minute I slowed down or came to a stop. I managed to get the car to a repair shop only to have the engine die on me. The car cannot be turned on or moved. I was told it might be the timing chain which is a common issue in this engine. I'm being told I need to practically replace the engine which will cost more than what the car is worth. If I try to turn the car on. It hesitates a lot and once it turns over it immediately shuts off. I have beraly made 1 payment on this vehicle and it already died on me. Was excited about such a nice looking car only to have fall under the lemon car category in my opinion. I am now left with a car payment. A huge repair bill and no mode of transportation all due to Volkswagens faulty design.

Timing chain broke resulting in catastrophic engine failure. This vehicle has had numerous recalls and is the subject of multiple class action lawsuits. If you have the option to purchase a vw cc do not do it. These vehicles are complete garbage and should be recalled completely by the manufacturer.

Driving and the transmission falls out of gear. Also had it to where the transmission would not shift from 1st gear. I have to pull over put vehicle in park turn the car off and restart. Sometimes it will run fine others have had to pull over 3 or 4 times before I could get back home. Started looking on internet on carproblemzoo. Com and there are many complaint of the same problem. Some started with only 20k miles on the vehicle. This his a safety issue especially when your driving 35 mph or faster.

Coming from a standstill, my 2010 vw Passat with 69,000 miles has a multiple second delay before going into d or r. One day, I put it in r and depressed the accelerator and the car acted like it was in n. This is the second time it has happened.

Problém with a separated rear main seal at 100000miles. After doing some research I found that if vw would properly install the sealat the of production, it would never separate. Comparing to my old vw that had 250000miles and never had this problem is seam as a design flaw. Vw has to step up and pay for their own mistake!.

While driving home (approx 50 mile trip) I heard a loud screeching noise from the engine area. I was traveling on a highway at about 60mpg. I pulled over, turned off the car and saw smoke and smelled burning from under the hood. I opened the hood and smoke billowed out of the back of the engine bay. I looked under the car to see if it was leaking anything and found a large amount of what seemed to be oil dripping from the car. I then noticed a trail of oil from before I stopped the car. I left the car in place for a tow to not damage the vehicle anymore than it already was. It was towed to the vw dealership in town where they diagnosed the problem is that the pcv valve stopped working correctly, which caused the rear main seal to fail and become completely destroyed. They said that the entire engine needs to be taken out to replace the seal and is going to cost $1700. Vehicle did not have any indication of problems before the screeching noise and did not have any check engine light come on during the problem. Vehicle has just over 100,000 miles and vw of America denied to help out in anyway when contacting customer service. Another incident with exact same issue was found when I looked at open claims on NHTSA and many other claims are easily found with a simple google search. I have had all maintenance performed on time and at vw dealerships and was never advised to get the pcv replaced as normal maintenance.

Jerking and lurching at idle and low speeds. Matches description of mechatronics failure of the dsg transmission. Similar to the same failure on other models of the same year, with vw extended warranty to 10 year /100,000 miles. Passat not included in this extension despite same failure and vw will not warranty the repair.

Pcv valve went out; and in turn, the rear main seal ruptured a major oil leak between engine and transmission. Dealership concluded the pcv position crank valve cause back pressure into the crank resulting in damaging the rear main seal. Vw has issued an extended warranty on pcv on certain models causing this issue, but the tsi 2009 and up have not been included in this recall. This issue could result in a catastrophic engine failure due to all oil leaking out of car while on road. This occurs when pressure builds up to pcv fails when car is being operated.

Car was parked. Shifting transmission from p to d or r or any gear would result in that indicator flashing and engine revving when accelerating. Car behaved like it was in neutral this car has a dsg transmission but the VIN number doesn't fall into the ones that vw has acknowledged have issues and have extended repair warranty. Turning off the car and restarting cleared the problem this happened again on another occasion. Dsg was properly maintained and documented at 40k miles as per service manual.

While accelerating from a toll plaza I felt the car shutter and heard/felt it bang. Than the car dropped into second gear and the "d" indicator of the transmission started to flash. I was forced to pull over to the side of the road (through a lot of traffic). Once on the side of the road I was able to shut off the car and restart it. The car worked fine after that. This is the third time this has been an issue. It was repaired the first 2 times by the dealer.

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Passat . The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle began to jerk and would not accelerate. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was advised that the mechatronic box for the transmission had malfunctioned. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.

The car was in on mild slope (up-hill). I was holding my foot on the brake pedal while waiting for the traffic light. When I took my foot off from the brake pedal the car started moving backwards. I quickly pressed the accelerator and avoided the collision with the car behind me in the last moment. I was able to replicate the issue several times on the mild slope. ## VIN passed ## Volkswagen, Passat, 2010 ##.

Dsg transmission - failure to properly engage from a complete stop. This is a frequent, recurring problem with this transmission. When pulling away from a complete stop, first gear is not/will not engage until the car has been in motion for a few seconds. This delay results in uncertain acceleration, which can be dangerous when attempting to pull into moving traffic or merge onto a roadway. In many instances, the delayed engagement of first gear is violent enough spin the front tires, slap the drivers head back against the head rest and engage the traction control. The danger is never knowing when this problem will occur, how long the delay will be and how harsh the engagement into first gear will be. This vehicle has been into the local dealerships on mulitple occasions to address this complaint and has yet to be resolved. Vw north America has been made aware of the situation since its first occurence, and has failed to make the car right or buy it back. This problem is so prevalent that one vw service manager has indicated to me that he is returning his personal car with the same transmission because he fears for his children's safety while driving with them in it.
