Frame And Members Problems of Volkswagen Passat

I was filling up my windshield washer fluid and was trying to put the cap back on my 2002 Passat when the hood strut failed and the hood crashed down on my forearm, pinning my arm between the hood and car frame. I screamed out both in pain and not being able to pull my arm free and had someone rush over to me within seconds. However, the hood latch had engaged but would not release since the hood was not closed all the way, my arm blocking this from happening. The first gentleman tried to alleve the pressure on my arm, which had already started going numb, while he called out for someone else to come and help and bring a heavy metal bar to pry me out. The second gentleman came with a large wrench and was able to bend the frame enough for me to pull my arm out. Major indent of my forearm had me make an emergency room visit. Xrays showed nothing was broken though 1 week later I am still swollen and sore. About $1900 body damage to car, as well as at least $250 medical. My mechanic never had an issue with the hood strut, so this incident came as a total surprise to him. He has ordered a replacement strut to be installed tommorow.

My 2001 "new" Passat GLS v6 has been flooding every time there is rain and it soaks the driver footwell as well as the same side's rear passenger foot well. It's created a moldy unpleasant odor in the car that I'm concerned will sicken my family and me.

2000 vw Passat has a water leak on drivers side floors and under passengers side floor. This has caused wire damage disabling electric windows, locks, gas cover release and interior lights. I may have even damaged to airbag system. This is a very serious matter and needs to be dealt with through vw. This should be a recall since the problem it causes are very serious. This needs to be dealt with ASAP. It is costing consumers a lot of money and hurting the reputation of vw. I know for a fact that unless something is done, I will not buy another vw and will not recommend anyone else from buying one either. I will go out of my way to say this.

Vehicle subframe bolt failure. Los angeles area dealer network has attempted to resolve failure but has been unsuccessful. Vehicle has been inspected by multiple dealerships for the same safety issue and has had subframe bolts retorqued subframe with complete disregard to vehicle safety. Subframe bolts are stretchable component to the subframe assembly and should be replaced rather than retorqued when removed or lose.

Water leakage in 2002 Passat 1. 8t GLS. After rain, water seeped in through faulty pollen filter housing. Fried engine cluster. After being returned, water continued to seep in. It corroded electrical wires and caused many problems. After 5+ dealer visits, no one was able to fix it until I personally stripped all carpeting and found the faulty wire. Dealer had told me filter housing was susceptible to water leakage, and yet he did no fix it. . .

: the contact stated the cowling drainage became filled will debris causing water to enter the transmission module. The vehicle lost partial power. The vehicle was towed to a dealership. The dealership cleaned the cowling drains, repaired the wiring and battery. Additionally, the brake booster, the transmission module and the carpeting were replaced.

The vehicle dropped from the hoist while being serviced, the gm of the dealership attributed the accident to too much anti-corrosion compound being applied to the vehicle at the time of manufacturing, the manufacturer was contacted. Nlm.

Very loud (like a helicoptor) interior noise when window or sunroof is opened.
