VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on .VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . purchased car brand new and noticed distortion on front windshield later that day. contacted dealership and they replaced it with one that has even more distortions. i stressed strongly to examine prior to putting in and they didn't. after much complaining to vw of america they agreed to put in windshield #3 but can not promise it won't have bad distortions. they say passat windshield are just that way. i have never had such poor qaulity glass in any previously owned vehicles. i'm also disappointed that they don't care. i posted on vw board and received many responses from other passat owners who also have this problem across the usa. at this point don't want my car torn apart for another defective piece of glass. i could get a generic windshield (haven't looked into that yet) but prefer a vw windshield for warranty and looks without vertical distortions causing things to appear wavy while driving.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWRH63B01P.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on .VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . i need to know if this defect as a hazard. my new 2001.5 passat wagon has a perceptible distortion, or rippling effect, in the front windshield; e.g., when seeing poles, trees, or building sidings while making a turn, or when viewing parkway exit signs while passing them. there's an accordion effect; vertical objects inchworm; letters expand and contract. just moving my head from side to side by a few inches can produce this effect. i can't say yet that it's hazardous but it's certainly distracting. meanwhile, i can't get the dealer to even sit in the driver's seat and tell me it's my imagination. when posted to passat users group following messages resulted: (1) i've seen several reports of this. time to get a new dealer. you should get new glass under warranty. (2) my '99 was 5000 miles new when i realized the windshield had a distortion and ripple effect. they replaced it no charge, but the second one is as bad as the first one. (3) has anyone with a '99 b5 noticed distortions in the front and rear glass? i've had my windshield and rear glass replaced under warranty, and the new glass is also distorted - although not quite as bad as the original. (4) when i recently had a genuine new vw windscreen installed after damage i noticed an optical distortion right of my straight ahead vision. this is disgraceful quality control from a major motor manufacturer and their authorized repair dealer. (5) there appears to be a defect in the passenger side of the windshield. a wavy, vertical line. the service manager looked at mine and found it right away, he also told me it was noted on several new 2000's on the lot, and that another customer has a really serious problem with it. check the windshield by looking out at a straight line, the side of a building or a pole, and moving your eyes up and down as well as right and left. vw is aware of the problem. im not having the windshield replaced, especially after their mess made on a simple oil change.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWVD63BX1E.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on .VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with COMMUNICATIONS:HORN ASSEMBLY . the horn on my 2001 vw passat (and my 1998 vw passat) does not work when the car is not on. i believe this is a significant design flaw. i have confirmed with the dealer that this is indeed the design of the car. i discovered this design flaw when parked in a gas station with the car turned off getting gas. another driver pulled into the station and apparently didn't see me. my first reaction was to lean on the horn. i tried but nothing happened. luckily, the other car narrowly missed me. however, i can think of plenty of scenarios where one would absolutely need an operational horn when the car is turned off. in addition to those involving potential vehicular accident situations, there are also personal safety considerations (e.g. my wife gets in the car and is attacked by an individual prior to starting the car). i did contact vw through their online customer care site. while a customer care case was opended (#10644291), i have not received a satisfactory explanation of the horn design. by the way, it appears that mercedes and bmw have a similar horn design. please let me know if there are any safety standards for the manufacturers regarding horn design. *ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWAC63BX1P.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 03, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SEATS . my 2001 vw passat gls was hit in the rear by a large 89 chevy van. the seat that i was sitting in reclined almost all the way back to the back seat so that i was looking up at the roof. my seat belt cut my head and wrist of my left arm as i fell back. i know it was the seat belt because there was skin on the shoulder portion of it. after the accident i looked at the totalled car and noticed that the seat had shifted. the front thigh support portion came up, and the back support went down. upon close inspection, i think that the seat brackets yielded in the collision changing the overall orientation of the seat. i was not seriously injured, as far as i know i just had a case of whiplash. however, i am staying in touch with my doctor should any additional back or neck problems come out of this. however, i could have been ejected from the seat or throw into the back, not to mention the serious injuries the seat would have caused to a person sitting in back of me. i called vw and the regional representative claims that the seat is designed to give in a severe rear impact. i asked for a statement in writing, and they agreed to this but i have yet to see it. (it may or may not be coming) i have the date and time of that phone conversation. i also have pictures of the car, the seat,and the brackets. vw does not advertise any special seat features like volvo's whips protection, so i am worried about the safety of this seat design. a quick internet search showed that several people have had similar events in a rear impact. clubb5.com, and audiworld.com both have conversations about this in the forums. if this is a poor seat design, i think that they should all be fixed..Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 46000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 23, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i leased a 2001 volkswagen passat 1.8t in feb. 2001, which i am currently having problems with. the vehicle jumps when driving and/or when stopped. it also jumps forward when stopped. this is a accident hazard since i have had instances when stopping at a traffic light/stop sign, the vehicle jumps forward thereby causing it to come to a complete stop after the stop sign and/or traffic light. i immediately took it in for service at the dealership, and i was told that the air flow sensor had to be replaced, but at my expense. unforunately, my car's warranty expired, but my car only has 30,000 miles. i later found out from the dealer that there was a bulletin out for an extension of the warranty only on the 2002 passat 1.8t, since these types of vehicles are having the same problems as my vehicle. my question to you is that how come the 2001 and 2002 passat 1.8t vehicles are having the same problems with the mass airflow sensor, but only the 2002 passat has an extended warranty on it. i find this very upsetting, since i now have to personally pay for the service, but yet owners of the 2002 passats do not. this was the first time leasing a volkswagen vehicle, and it will be my last. my car has been in for service several times for different repairs and also had 3 recalls. i will be turning in my vehicle in 5 months and am so looking forward to it, since i was not happy with the vehicle nor volkswagen service. *ak.Mileage was 30276 miles.

Volkswagen Passat 2001 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Review #10090453

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 20, 2004.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . in july 2003 my 2001 volkswagen new passat 1.8l turbo had symptoms related to oil pressure problems. as i was traveling on vacation the car gave warning of this situation and the system advised that the car be stopped immediately. i stopped the car and began pursuing options to get the car to the nearest dealership. the dealership diagnosed the problem as oil sludge. the repair was as simple as cleaning the oil pump strainer and oil pan. the repair cost approximately $500.00. now, some 20k miles later my car had another oil related issue. this time the oil cooler malfunctioned and ruptured causing $8,000 - $10,000 in repair cost. of course the car is not under warranty and recent actions by volkswagen to extend warranties for oil sludge do not include the oil cooler. the oil sludge issue has been identified as a major concern of volkswagen of american by their actions toward the warranty extension, but they are avoiding parts and the mechanical operations that could lead to the problem being corrected. obviously oil that is not properly cooled will break down quicker than oil running at more acceptable temperatures. currently, volkswagen can make no conclusive analysis as to the relationship between an oil cooler malfunction and oil sludge. this would be key in determining the responsibility for the car repairs. volkswagen of america's customer care advocates have referred me to my dealership on two occasions and my dealership seems to be unable to make 100% conclusive decisions. i believe it is volkswagens responsibility to guarantee their products. they are in no position to avoid responsibility especially after allowing the oil sludge issue to continue from 1998 models cars to current 2004 models without offering consumer assistance. six years is a long time to have potentially serious mechanical issues unaddressed. thank you. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 108000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2004.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . the headlights of my 2001.5 passat have burned out at a rate that is much higher than normal. i have had to replace one headlight twice and the other four times since i have owned my car. because the manufacturer recommends that only a dealer replace the headlight there are many times when i have to drive with one or the other lamp out. fortunately they have not failed at the same time. during a visit to my local dealer when the car was under warranty they stated that there was no electrical problem at that it is normal for headlights to be replaced this frequently. since that visit, and several more light replacements, they have determined that the wiring to the passenger side headlight assembly was faulty and have since replaced it, although they charged me for the repair. given the number of passats that i see with one headlight out, i suspect that there is a manufacturing problem and this problem is causing a safety issue.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 02, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . oil pump failure: the warning light turned on "stop, oil pressure low" contacted vw and was told that i needed to bring the car in for an inspection. it was determined that there was a sludge build up in the oil which caused the oil pump to fail. recently vw has issued a new warranty for the replacement of the oil pump due to this problem, only if you have your oil receipts from day one. i wish to keep my vw for a long time and yes oil was changed on a regular basis, however receipts are difficult to find from day one. from my findings and what makes sense is that the turbo is over heating the oil and building up a sludge in the oil. as of today my pump was replaced along with the cam. the dealership did the necessary work but has not really informed me as to any future problems that will arise. where as other oil repair shops know of vw with turbo that have failed at 20,000 miles and then again at 40,000 miles. as of today i question if the turbo was inspected for sludge or was an oil flush done. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . purchased the vehcile (second-hand) from the lexus dealership on veterans drive in metairie,la back in march 2004. here is my complaint: my family evacuated for hurricane 'katrina' and we left the vw behind at the house. well, it sat for about a month. once we got back to the vehicle, we noticed it was not running good at all. very rough. very different than before the storm. i checked the car out and found out it was very low on oil. yet, we have no oil leaks. i could not explain where the oil had gone. and the oil in the case of the vehicle looked "grainy" and "sludgey". we thought it was storm related and filed a claim with state farm. we then took it to the local vw dealer near my office to have to locate the problem. the vw service guy said, yes, volkswagen has identified a mechanical problem with our model vehicle where the turbo can not handle conventional motor oil. they would fix that free of charge....however, they need the last 12 month history of our oil changes. well, at first i thought this would be no problem. we have always gotten our regular oill changes so the receipts should be handy. well, i didn't take into account that the destruction of our new orleans home by hurricane katrina. our house was a total loss and so were those receipts. i think we managed to get our hands on two of them. well, that's not good enough for vw. as a matter of fact, they won't even take hand-written receipts from the oil change places. i am extremely angry that they will not fix an existing problem with their vehicle without this information. they acknowledge the fact that it's the vehicle mechanisms but they refuse to fix it without copies of receipts i can never produce. all of new orleans was destroyed. now, my wife, who has to commute 50 miles each way to work, has to drive her unsafe vehicle and endanger her life because vw refuses to fix a problem they admit their car has. we have no recourse but to file this complaint with the nhtsa. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with STRUCTURE . for the 2nd time in 14 months the system that drains rain water out of my car has become clogged. the result is that water collects under the floor board on the front passenger side of the vehicle, where computers are located inside an unsealed plastic box. the first time this happened, in dec 2004, i was told the failure was due to an unusually strong rain storm and the resulting water damage effected the break system. at that time the car was still under warranty. this time it's happening off warranty and i'm being told that one of the computers has to be replaced and there could be further damage which will only be detected after a new computer is installed. in both instances, the seats and carpeting had to be removed and the carpeting and wiring system had to be fan dried. this time around i spoke with a vw mechanic at the dealership where the repairs are being done and he said this is not an infrequent occurrence after a rain storm. now, it seems to me that locating a computer system in a flat, low lying area of the car where water can collect is a huge design flaw, but that being the case, had i been made aware of the fact that regular flushing of the drainage system could have probably prevented a now costly and time consuming repair, i would have gladly taken my car in for such a service. records will show that i followed vws scheduled maintenance program, having the service done at an authorized vw dealership on time. surprisingly, flushing the drainage system is not part of vws routine maintenance program even though they are aware that the potential for this problem exists. it seems to me that flushing the drainage system is far more important than, say, filling the windshield wiper fluid, but then i guess vw stands to benefit far more from repairing a water damaged computer system as opposed to replacing a windshield wiper blade. *nm.Mileage was 51254 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 17, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . we have a 2001 passat and put about 10k miles/year. the car has been serviced about twice every year at our local vw dealership since we bought it new. we originally bought the car with safety in mind. while driving on the interstate about a week ago, the engine light came on. the car seized/stalled as i was getting off the interstate. this could easily have led to a serious accident. i had the car towed to our dealership. once they realized what had happened, they became very hostile. they asked us for all of our records. they had incomplete ones for us as the dealership had changed hands a few years ago. we have almost every record but this will not suffice for them. they are asking for half of the 11k repair bill (and suggested that we repair it and trade in for one of their used cars). what really bothers us is that part of the problem of missing records is due to the dealership. the other issue is that when the car had failed, the tow guy showed me that the oil cap was encrusted with sludge. when i pointed this out to the dealership and that while they probably would have seen this at the last oil change, that they are under no obligation to inform the customer of such a potential hazard. this is a major safety concern and vw/vw dealerships should be obliged to watch for this and at least suggest an engine flush. after too much trust, we are very disappointed with vw for this. they should know better. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 62000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . having an oil sludge problem with a 2001 1/2 model year vw passat with a 1.8t engine. recently had a low oil pressure warning light come on, requiring the vehicle to be towed to a local vw dealership. dealership diagnosed as an oil pump problem, most likely caused by an oil sludge problem. if it is caused by oil sludge, then engine damage is likely to be found as it seems to be a common problem based on web forum postings by other passat owners who have experienced the same problem. vehicle is unoperable at this time. vw is refusing to cover to the repair under warranty due to insufficient documentation of oil changes. all vw service intervals were completed for the vehicle including all oil changes and are backed up with documentation. i am still trying to get clarification from vw as to why the documentation is considered insufficient. vehicle has 99,004 miles on it. oil changes prior to 30,000 service interval were completed at vw dealerships and included vw approved non-synthetic oil. oil changes from 30,000 miles/january 2002 forward were completed using synthetic oil. vw recognized the sludge problem and issued a warranty extension in august 2004 along with requirement to use synthetic oils (nhtsa tsb #10009888 and #10009873). a previous problem occured at 78,400 where a defective head gasket was replaced. during that service the head gasket, oil cooler, oil pump, and associated parts were replaced under warranty. based on web postings from other owners this may also be associated with the oil sludge problem. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 98994 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 02, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . 1. during my wife's morning commute the oil light stop engine light illuminated in our 2001.5 vw passat. fortunately she was in a rural area and was able to get the car shut off immediately and coasted off the road without incident. 2. the failure was the result of severe oil coking with the 1.8t engine. vw issued a notification letter dated august 2004 advising of the ?oil sludge? problem. the letter states ?engine oil sludge occurs when old, dirty engine oil thickens and cannot continue to provide adequate engine lubrication.? the letter implies the issue is due to poor maintenance. in reality the failure is due to a latent design defect of improper heat rejection attribute of the engine sump. basically not enough oil quantity and oil cooling capacity. the oil then cokes over time in a similar manner as is encountered on gas turbine engines under extreme temperatures. eventually the coked particles accumulate and plugs the sump screen. the oil pump then resulting in the loss of oil pressure and engine failure. the loss of engine power at a critical time is a safety concern. 3. fortunately as our car was not run without oil pressure i was able to save the engine. vw would not honor the warranty despite providing a log book from all the maintenance performed from new. they required all receipts of oil changes. i perform all my own maintenance. vw clearly has gamed the warranty and misrepresented the problem as poor maintenance and sludge. i have always changed the oil every 5k miles. this cost me nearly $2k in parts not including my labor. this is a major repair. the oil pump, sump screen, all crank case ventilation lines, turbo lines, etc. had to be replaced. there was coffee grounds (coked oil) throughout the engine. what a mess. i hold a bs in aero engr tech and faa a&p license. i run the aftermarket for a large gas turbine engine mfg. i know engine design and warranty gaming when i see it. *tr.Mileage was 155000 miles.
