Rear coil spring is broken. Normal driving conditions and we noticed a significant vibration. Upon inspection of rear suspension we found a broken rear coil spring. I researched this issue and found that vw recalled several other 2015 models for rear coil springs breaking. This is a major safety issue. Currently we cannot use the car due to this safety issue.

Vehicle has major fuel pump issue, currently at 132,000 and noticing loss of power, car shaking, and occasional stall. A code reader is unable able to detect the issue which is a major concern. I have contacted the Volkswagen manufacturer and I consistently keep getting ignored after bringing up the recall that was put out for the fuel pump. While driving on the highway my rear and front suspension failed and dropped suddenly while moving slowly during traffic. I whave only been able to repair the front shocks and struts so far, but the rear are needed as well. I would like to state that all the parts are original manufacturer parts.

I noticed my car was sitting lower than normal all the way around. While driving, I heard some unusual noises coming from the rear. I took the car to a mechanic for evaluation. The mechanic said three of the four coil springs had broken (both rear and drivers side on the front. I did some research and found there is an existing recall for broken springs in Volkswagen automobiles. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 42j5. Nhtsa’s campaign number: 19v188000.

Fractured rear coil spring on a 2015 Volkswagen Passat limited. There is a current recall, 42j5, for various vw's from 2015 to 2019, but not for the Passat. Nhtsa campaign #19v188000 should cover rear coil springs in all vw"s for the years listed. Same defect, same dangers. I have the coil spring and will save it for a reasonable period of time if an inspection of the unit is needed. Contacted vw customer service and was told coil spring would not be covered.

Rear passenger side wheel area started making a lot of noise. After tire was taken off, found rear coil spring broken and dislodged from proper location. Then looked at drivers side rear coil spring and it was still in proper location but broken. Found replacement part which also fit vw beetle and vw jetta which are much smaller cars than a Passat. Vw does not offer heavier springs.

I have had to have my vehicle serviced over 5 times within the last three months. There is a recurring sensor temps, air bad error, radio not working properly, and front assist sensor light error. Everything I have had to take my vehicle to a service dealer, my wheel bearing need to be changed, my tire sensor needs to be changed, and my steering wheel is shaking.

This past Sunday, my son was driving on 95 and the driver's side front wheel exploded off the car while driving. He did not hit anything, nor did he get a flat tire. The metal holding the tire literally broke, the wheel came off the car causing the car to drop on the front axle while he was doing 65 mph on the highway.

Driving on highway when my daughter heard loud snap and car rear end started to sag.

Squeaking if suspension when I go over bumps.

For about 2 years my vehicle has been vibrating at the steering wheel. I have replaced the tires twice, have done multiple tire balances, rotations, road force tests, alignments, and have requested multiple inspections of all components associated with the steering assembly. All possible solutions have apparently been insufficient or they have been found inconclusive. The technicians at the dealership have been unable to identify the cause of the vibration. Due to this, my steering wheel has continued to vibrate for about 2 years. The vibration occurs around highway speeds as well as when braking. I have recorded multiple videos that show this as well as having testament from multiple people, including dealership staff. The vibration has slowly but surely gotten worse over time and I am afraid that something will break and cause me to have an accident or severe injuries.

On the way to the airport pulling out into traffics. I heard a pound noice and my whole car vibrated. It was like a sting loud and tension filled. When we came back to have it looked at and my dealership they say it's a coil spring. Ive found recalls on the vw 2015-2019 but not the Passat. Well. The Passat has the problem too please look into to this. Very disconcerting. I feel it is the same problem.

At speed of over 65mph. Steering wheel starts to vibrate within 10minutes of driving on the highway. Keep returning to the dealer which says they have done all they can that should have correct the problem. But after they have tried for over 4 times to correct it. The issue still there.

My 2013 vw Passat 3. 6 sel major issues with the transmission, burning excessive engine oil, and substandard suspension. The transmission slips in 3rd gear, and struggles to search for a gear. Vw engineered my Passat for castrol oil 5w40 synthetic oil, 6-7 quarts every oil change (every 10,000 miles). I have to add 3 quarts of oil every 4,000 miles. This is a clear indication the oil weight is insufficient for this vehicle, engineering issues with the oil pump, and/or valve seals. The Passat does not handle well, and feels unsafe in rain, snow, and sleet, because there is no traction control button on the instrument panel. It's quite obvious that the executives at Volkswagen ag are not interested in safety and quality. They are only interested in sacrificing a dollar for safety and quality.

Sharp left hand turns it emits a clicking noise. Googled and this problem has been reported since 2011. Took to dealership today couldn't find anything wrong. Was told safe to drive and had not heard of this problem before. Google said problem with CT joint.

Excessive inside front tire wear can lead to tire failure. Font end can not be properly aligned because there is no camber adjustment. Tires showed excessive wear at 10,000 miles. Tires were rotated and front end realigned and these tires have the inside about wore out after 16,000 miles. The wear seems to occur when making sharp turns when exiting on the freeway cloverleaf. The inside wear pattern will be a dark black from scuffing on the turn.

Since I have this car having problems vibrations I took the car on vw dealer few times I explain to them my car is vibrating when I apply the brakes also when I cruise over 55mph. They told me always car is performing to manufacture specifications so now I have 6500 miles on my car I took my car to different dealership they found out my tires ar cupping. And my roots are out of round and alignment was correct tire balancing they did few time tire roatation so now I have 6500 miles on the car less then 1 year old car. And vw of USA we cannot cover under warranty I replace the tires on my own and the car still vibrates idk what to do any further very disappointed also having issues with front assist with adaptive cruise control and lane assist no response.

Cpsc:purchased kyb 344459 and kyb 335808 (shocks and struts) from autozone and installed on 01/06/2018. Product was purchased according to my VIN for fitment. After installation my car has been operating very unsafe, suspension is extremely hard, bouncy, wavy, ect.

Complaint #11046964 was filed 11/17/2017 and more problems have surfaced since then. The horn stopped working, all the electrical connections on the steering wheel do not work - the problem has been traced to the wrong air bags replaced by recall by the dealer . The replacement air bag is the wrong air bag and it has the other connections not working.

The bolts which attached the front suspension struts to the vehicle rattle due to failure of the bolt. This failure effects the handeling of the vehicle at high speeds and during cornering.

When backing up, or going forward slow, to park with front wheels turning there is a snapping sound which a an arizone vw dealer blames on salt/sand from ne. Car was on lift in maine and I painted undercarraige and there was no sign of rust except on parts of clamps/screws. Vehicle was washed a minimum of once a week during winter. Moved to az and the snapping is more evident. Vw replaced much of the front end and had car for three weeks. I have an extended warranty on the car and still had to pay over $1200. 00. I was told to take it to a vehicle repair service to have it checked out.

Car pulls sharply to the right. Volkswagen states that everything is in spec. Nothing is bent or broken. We have a second 2013 Passat that does the same thing. The caster is out of spec in a independent alignment, but was told it is non adjustable. ( came from the factory this way) many Passats from 2012- 2014 have this issue. At 65 mph our two Passats will completely change lanes in 6 seconds.

Car pulls sharply to the right. It is dangerous to drive. Volkswagen says everything is in spec. Nothing is bent or broken. They also said " it's just the way the car handles" I am not stepping on the accelerator, just coasting on any road and within 5 to 6 seconds I am halfway in the other lane.

I took my car to volkswagon dealership to find out why my brake light was on and why my brakes would flutter at times when using them. I got estickmate that my brake resivour was bad and the sensor that it would be okay to drive till I got fixed in a week. I faxed my warrenty papers to dealership to find out to see what was covered. . On Saturday 5 days later when I was driving 35 miles an hour tried to stop and brake pedal went to floor had nothing to stop me but the car in front of me. I was issued a ticket had my car towed and I. Am having headachs and neck pain which I'm getting treated. . I don't feel as if that car was safe to ne driving. .

1. There is a noticeable hesitation after a cold start (tdi, diesel engine) going from 2nd to 3rd gear. This has occurred everyday since purchased. 2. This car has always and still has a hard right pull since purchase (car will pull into adjacent lane within 200-250 feet). My previous 2012 Passat tdi sel steered staight. My car has been to the local dealership to fix this issue on four separate occasions, to no avail.
