Local dealership requesting for Volkswagen to authorize an inspection at no charge due to excessive oil consumption. Please see attachment from dealership.

Heater core has clogged after replacement in less than 12 months. This is the 4th occurrence of this failure on this vehicle. Failure has the risk to overheat engine. Vw technical service bulletin has been modified multiple times, but still doesn't fully resolve the issue.

There has been an excessive oil consumption in this vehicle , and reading other reports there maybe an issue, also this vehicle has been part of several recalls previously and I am concerned and I don’t feel safe to drive it . I would like for vw to inspect the car free of charge for this particular issue.

Unknown. I was driving down the interstate and car just lost power and wouldn’t get no gas. Got it to the side of the road and it wouldn’t crank back up. Took it to shop and the mechanic stated motor need to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there were false dtc codes displayed while performing the diagnostic test. The vehicle was then taken the dealer and the contact was informed that a diagnostic test was needed to determine the cause of the failure, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

The component that failed is in the official dealer report. I am not an expert however definitely an issue with electrical, engine, steering and acceleration meter. The car shakes/jolts aggressively. Once the shaking of the vehicle begins it accelerates with the breaks being pressed in under a red light and also under parked mode. In the red light case the vehicle then turns off the steering wheel freezes and all power comes off. The shaking/jolting takes place as I am driving as well. Which I then have to pull to the right to ensure my safety and others. This is major safety concern as it accelerates /jolts forward which can cause harm to pedestrians crossing the street, having me enter crossing traffic causing a major accident to myself and others. I have the brakes pressed in having no control of the vehicle. The vehicle turning off as I am driving is a major safety concern as I can cause an issue specially going on higher speed like freeways. The steering wheel comes into a complete freeze once the vehicle turns off as I’m operating the vehicle which then does not allow me to control the movement of the vehicle if I want to pull to the right away from traffic to avoid collisions. Once the car looses electricity and the steering wheel freezes I have to force my car to the right or a safe space. I then have to take my car key off the ignition and then turn it back on in hopes that it does turn on. No warning lamps have turned on. My dashboard is cleared with no lights. The dealer in downtown los angeles was informed of this issue, inspected and the report did come back reporting manufacturing issues. My vehicle did have a steering wheel recall before which I assumed was resolved as I did previously visit their center to ensure I was safe driving and leaving the dealer I trusted that the issue was resolved by their expert and experienced personnel. I am not sure or it’s unknown if this might have anything to do with the current issue I have.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while driving a 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where she informed the mechanic that she had to top off the oil reservoir with 1 to 2 quarts of oil every two weeks. The mechanic informed her that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil and referred her to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where she was informed that the upper timing chain cover and transmission oil cooler needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 14v182000 (power train) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and she was informed that her vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

Took vehicle to shop report oil leak no warning signs causing timing chain problems what is the cause of oil leak is the recall issue on the engine?.

I bought an extended warranty on this car and it does not cover esc light coming on . Car is burning oil. I’m afraid to drive due to the esc also car misfires hardly.

After having parked the car long enough to eat dinner out, I pulled out onto the main street and the car engine showed clear signs of distress, sputtering, missing and ultimately going into what seemed to be limp mode. I was able to pull off the main lanes before the car died and would not re-engage after three attempts to restart. On the third attempt, the car stopped attempting to crank and the dash lights all began to blink until the only extra light that was left was the coil (glow plug indicator). We were left stranded in the street for a while until we could safely exit to push it out of the road and to a safe place. I later had the car towed to my mechanic where the issues were accessed and diagnosed. The causation of the failure is a combination of the first fuel pump failing and disintegrating then dispersing medal shards throughout the fuel system and ruining it entirety. I have never had any indicators or issues with this vehicle. There were no prior warnings or problems with the car. I was very blind sided and stranded in the road then felt forced to put myself in harms way to get it pushed out of danger and prevent an accident with another vehicle.

The contact owns 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that puddles of oil could be found on the ground after parking the vehicle.

Additionally, the contact stated that the tread in the driver’s and passenger’s side front tires were wearing excessively. The contact stated that the front tires had been replaced multiple times; however, the failure persisted. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,103.

There is a tdi/aem emissions service action code: 23z3 for this year tdi, that requires dealer software 'fix" , I have owned the car for a year now , with no contact from vw. Also, have read that there is a recall on the heater cores getting clogged, and causing fogging windsheilds, driving hazard. And no contact from vw ?.

I currently own a 2014 vw Passat tdi that was part of the recall and due to the fact these vehicles have sat around a long period of time they extended certain other parts warranty. In February I had the heater core replaced twice. Over the summer there was no need for heat and I just turned the heat on this morning and the vehicle is blowing cold air again. I am less than 1000 miles outside the extended warranty and vw refuses to repair. This issue could have started well within the mileage restraints but due to warm weather there was no need for heat. This problem was already established and documented and vw should replace. I will be left out in the cold all winter.

While driving the car the epc light came on. I took the vehicle to the dealership where they determined the oil level was so low that no oil was showing on the dip stick. Dealership added 3. 8 quarts its and noted they suspect based on my history of timely oil changes that the engine is consuming oil. The low oil indicator light never came on. The car is still consuming oil and no indicator light is coming on.

While driving on a highway, I heard a mild noise under the hood and things went chaotic, the coolant temperature went high above nominal, the speedometer went crazy, the brakes weren't working, the steering got locked (not able to move freely) and I literally felt dreadful, I was lucky enough that there were no vehicles front or back of me, otherwise it would have been a fatal incident. I managed to use my hand brakes to slow down and slightly move the vehicle to the shoulder. Oil was leaking underneath the engine at its first look. The vehicle then had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership inspected and confirmed that they found a hole in the engine block and they came back to me and mentioned the whole engine block and also the turbo has to be replaced. The vehicle was right after a fully recommended service from the dealership. No warning or other symptoms appearing.

Bought my car in November 2019 from an individual after bout 6 months I noticed that my car would slighty cut out when slowing down or cominv to a stop but it wasnt often til bout another 6 months that it began to cut out when slowing down and stopping more and aggressively and it would die then it does it just idling and even when im driving at a low speed as long as I stay at a higher speed ot isnt as bad theres no warning or check engine lights that come on at all when it dies sometime I dont even know it did until I see thr red battery light illuminated car will start back up but if I dont give it high speed it again will cut out aggressively and die if im going 40mph in mid drive it does it. Ive had thr spark plugs changed oil changed thr cam position sensor changed the alternator and battery check they were fine I do however sometime after turninv my car off hear the fuel pump still on so I have to turn key over and back off for it to go off it throws no coded an last mechanic said it did ok aftet clearing all codes but wasnt sure if it would fix it whivh it didnt ive seen online car blogs of anothers with same year make an model having same issue and some said it was the fuel pump control module/fuel pump there is a recall but my car is not under it its dangerous risking driving because any slow speed or having to stop slow doen to turn my car will stall and shut off instantly which can lead to accidents its said this is an issue among same year make an model but cars like mine arent under the recall for the fuel pump issues it needs to be addressed please thank you.

The heater core in these cars are horrible I've had mind replaced 3 times and I have to get another heater core and my car floor is full off water and it keeps leaking and the way the sound when your taking off I noticed that sound like a Mini weed eater when you press on the gas.

While driving at highway speed the vehicle suffered a sudden and catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel pump. The vehicle has only 43k on it and was just purchased after receiving the tdi update 3k miles ago. The fuel pump failure occurred around 60-70 mph on the highway and lead to the vehicle losing all power and barely making it to the shoulder of the road. I have now learned that this failure has completely destroyed my fuel system and is not covered by vw even thoughthey are using the same part that they are covering for the 2010-2013 model years they offered an extended warranty on. Not only is this incredibly unsafe, as a consumer this type of unpredictable and common failure is unacceptable.

Tl-the contact owned a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact brought the vehicle into the dealer prestige Volkswagen of turnersville NJ 4271 e black horse pike, turnersville, NJ 08012 (856) 629-9200 for recall repairs. They found two other recalls on the vehicle. After they drove the vehicle home, the epc light came on the vehicle. The dealer said to bring the vehicle back and stated that the vehicle was low on oil and the contact disputed that fact. The epc light represented an issue with the trottle. After two days the epc light came on again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who had the vehicle for two weeks. The dealer wanted to charge $600 for a part to monitor the oil level. The contact reminded the dealer about the epc that was a trottle software issue. There was a dispute and the manufacturer told the contact to take it to another dealer. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer cherry hill Volkswagen 2261 NJ-70, cherry hill, NJ 08002 (888) 486-1840. They diagnosed the issue and replaced a part that had to do with the oil level. Two weeks later the epc light came on again and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. They called today and said that the newest repair would cost $800 to fix and they could not guarantee if this would fix the issue. The manufacturer had done nothing but document what has happened up to this point. The manufacturer offered to loan $800 to pay for the latest repairs if the contact would get a CO signer. The contact called the attorney general's and checked into the lemon law but with no results. The failure mileage was unknown since the dealer had logged the mileage in as 169,720 when the contact saw it was under 100,000 on the odometer. Tf.

While driving my vehicle it stopped. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and I was told that my timing chain was broken. I found it ironic that there was a recall on other models but not mine.

Starting getting timing code errors. Took it to the dealer and they said the timing chain is bad and will cost nearly $4000 to replace. Looked online and this is a common occurence with the make and model of this car. Want to make sure they don't get away with this. They should be recalling this and making the repairs.

2014 vw Passat tdi se 2. 0l manual my vehicle has 62,583 mi. On it. I was driving on the highway when the diesel "glow plug" light began flashing on the dashboard and I lost all engine power. I was fortunate to be able to reach the roadside safely and I was able to bring the car to a halt on the roadside. Trying to start the vehicle however was not possible, the "glow plug" light continued to flash and the vehicle would not start. Vw roadside assistance was called and the vehicle was towed to the nearest vw dealership where I have was given the error code information below and told my turbo and engine need to be replaced but that they are outside of my 5yr/60,000 mi warranty. P0671-cylinder #1 glow plug circuit active/static p0674- cylinder #4 glow plug circuit active/static p2196- O2 sensor signal stuck rich bank 1 sensor 1 active/static p0299- turbo/super charger under boost active/static p13e0-sensor for internal pressire of cylinder #1 malfunction active/static p13d7-sensor for internal pressure of cylinder #4 electrical error active/static p13e1-sensor for internal pressure of cylinder #2 malfunction active/static p13e2- sensor for internal pressure of cylinder #3 malfunction active/static p1007- torque difference cylinder #4 limit value exceeded active/static.

I was driving down the interstate 5 in the la area and without warning, my car started jerking and lost power. I was stuck on the fast lane without being able to restart my car in Friday afternoon rush hour traffic. I had my car towed to a vw dealership and the diagnosis came back as metal in the fuel system. I was told this was due to the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failing. What was most disturbing was when I was informed that to fix this problem, they would have to replace the entire fuel system, costing me $7,500. My car is 3 years old and has 75k miles so I was blown away! I called numerous mechanics and all told me they've seen similar problems on vw and Audi vehicles. I went online to do some research and found a number of forums with vw customers with identical problems. All complain about the hpfp failing and then resulting in metal in the fuel system, causing an expensive replacement of the fuel system. I also read that vw has extended the warranty of the hpfp on earlier models due to similar problems. It is clear that vw has still not fixed this problem on its newer models and needs to extend the warranty or issue a recall. They are selling faulty cars that are dangerous to drive and require extremely expensive fixes. Please look into this. Here is the forum with the number of similar issues from other vw customers: https://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/vehiclecomplaint/?_ga=1. 28961404. 1963426351. 1491430895.

I just recently purchased this 2014 vw Passat from Nissan and they did not reveal all the recalls on this vehicle! I'm really dissatisfied with the Nissan dealership as I feel this is being deceitful, not to mention very unsafe for me and my family. Dishonest!!!!! to say the least!.

The car lost power while driving on a country road at about 45 miles per hour. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a blown turbocharger. This occurred at 32,000 miles. Now, the car has lost power again while driving at about 30 miles an hour going up a hill. I believe it is a blown turbocharger. This occurred at 64,000 miles. The details below on date and miles are related to the second incident.

Exactly 28 days after first breakdown had another exactly the same. See your previous report #10818720. Driving to work on highway 2014 vw Passat engine lights came on. Car can not go over 30mph & decreasing speed. Tow truck called, mechanic & dealership, rental car, & private insurance all again. Dealership stated chewed wires from squirrels & does not cover under warranty. 1st time $2,700. 2nd time $700. Learned of soy-based coating on wires. Local farmers & government grass cutter workers have chewed wires on their tractors also. Pleae investigate. Please recall. Please help.

Heater core clogging. Heater core has been replaced 3 times since I bought the car to years ago. Coolant has been discolored and cloudy. First replacement was in January of 2015. It has been replaced twice in January 2016.

I was driving to work on a snowy cold morning - a distance of just a couple miles in a mountain community. The car started to decelerate as it climbed a slight hill. I depressed the fuel pedal and nothing happened. I pulled over and turned off the car. An engine malfunction yellow warning light came on. I tried proceeding forward nothing happened. Limped it to side of road. Called 24/7 vw road side assistance. Car was towed to nearest authorized dealer. They state the turbo failed.

When driving car loss of power had towed to vw dealer turbo failure with just 9700 miles.

The turbocharger failed, causing the car to slow to a creep (5 mph) in the midst of other traffic traveling at 35 to 40 mph.
