While driving and after, we noticed gas fumes both inside and outside of vehicle. The gas tank was approximately half full. Became very concerned over the the possibility of a fire. Did research online and realized that this was and is a common problem with older models of the passad (ours is a 2020 model that we bought new and had zero accidents) plus jetta and golf models. We took it to a vw dealer (ken graff vw gilbert, az ) nearest our home for fear of a fire hazard and safety. They repaired it stating that the gas tank had various creaks neasr the top of the tank which allowed fumes to be released. My cost to repair was approximately $1,100 which for a vehicle with some 62,000 miles and no accidents seems to be concerning. The service advisor stated not covered under warranty or not under a recall notice. Thjs is plainly wrong and is certainly a fire hazard. Thank you for looking into this important issue.
Car wasn’t pulling up the road the epc light came on had to have my vehicle rolled to the next dealer which was 36 miles from where I was. I was traveling from grapevine TX and it start acting up in huntsville TX. Came out of pocket 1085. 00 and that was with a discount for the fuel injector #3 my warranty expired 3000 miles ago. I am the first owner on my vehicle.
