The heater core in my 2014 Volkswagen Passat tdi has failed and been replaced four times within the last 2 years. There is/was an extended warranty related to the heater core failure but there has not yet been a recall despite an obvious defect with the heater cores. Failure 1, 11/28/2016- reported as insufficient heat, primarily passenger side - warranty covered failure 2, 06/30/2017- identified by check engine light alert- warranty covered failure 3, 0/7/10/2017- identified by check engine light alert, warranty covered failure 4, 11/28/2017- reported as insufficient heat- primarily on passenger side- originally reported on 10/26/2018- vw declined to cover under warranty. Without a properly functioning heater core, the windshield defroster will not have heat. In this situation, the driver will have difficulty maintaining a clear windshield, which will create a hazardous situation. The lack of heat in the vehicle can also be unsafe in some climates.
My turbo failed in the car with no warning while on the highway. The glowplug light started blanking and the check engine light came on.
