1 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2019

I recently faced an issue with my Volkswagen Passat 2015 with the suspensions making clanking noise. I had it checked with the dealership and the issue turned out to be broken coil springs on the rear left side. I have own this car for three and a half years, but only have 16k miles on it. I rarely drive in snow as I work from home. A little exposure to snow have caused the coil springs to wear out. I have heard of recalls from Nissan and Honda in the past regarding a similar issue with coil springs. I'm sure other Volkswagen owners are facing the same thing as I heard the service agent whispering that this happens with most of the Volkswagen cars and he's surprised there hasn't been a recall for it yet. As I'm merely over the bumper warranty, I had to pay $800 out of pocket to replace the springs. I wish Volkswagen made more reliable cars.

2 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2016

I bought a 2015 Passat wolfsburg edition in February of 2015. Within the first 200 miles vehicle was shimmying when brakes were applied. Dealer refused to replace the brakes under the warranty saying its wear and tear. I called vwa they advised dealer and the rotors were replaced. Not even two weeks after brakes start squealing. I return to dealership and get told its nothing. Brakes continued to squeal until I had them replaced somewhere else at 26350 miles. However while brakes were squealing and even after being replaced. . Vehicle bas developed a chirp on both hubs when vehicle is turned and or accelerated from a stand still. Vehicle has 27000 miles on it. There's no reason it should be having these issues. I bought the vehicle at valley auto world in fayetteville nc. Also my front suspension is making noise when hitting certain bumps. Steering still has shimmy when driving. I need my repaired and 100% safety guaranteed or I will seek federal legal assistance.
