Volkswagen Passat 2007 Vehicle Speed ControlVolkswagen Passat 2007 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10163399 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007 car safety problem was reported on Apr 23, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . there is an unsafe prolonged hesitation when depressing the accelerator pedal on the 2007 volkswagen passat 3.6 liter 4 motion. when depressing the accelerator pedal, nothing happens until you've depressed the pedal approximately 3/4 to an inch of pedal travel, then all of a sudden, the car lurches and accelerates at what feels like half to full throttle. it is a random hesitation, yet occurs at probably 30% of the time. it is most noticeable when starting from a stop, yet will happen on the highway, if accelerating to pass. this is a very dangerous malfunction. if this abrupt acceleration occurs in snowy or icy conditions, it could cause a loss of control. i have experienced several times, when i expected my car to move forward when i depressed the gas pedal, only to have it hesitate and nearly cause an accident. this car has a drive by wire accelerator, which i believe is a fairly recent design change. we have another car with the same type of system which does not do this. *nm *ak.Mileage was 20 miles.

(i had the harness rewired with the new harness as a part of that recall.) volkswagen told me that they would not cover the cost of the diagnosis or repairs due to the age of the vehicle. case # 140556249. i have concerns because i know this is a bigger issue and not just a problem with my car. i have provided some screen prints of other volkswagen owners complaining of the same problems. several drivers have been in accidents where the airbags did not deploy. drivers are concerned about the airbag not deploying during an accident and of the air bag deploying while driving. i also have the same concerns and i believe that this issue should be investigated as a design flaw / defect that could lead to a larger safety recall. if volkswagen is to fix the issue with the same parts will the issues continue to persist? this is deeply concerning, especially when an employee at huntersville north carolina informed me that parts and labor are only covered under warranty for one year after the repairs. will i be paying for this same repair over and over again? your urgent attention and response is expected. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWEK73CX7P.

Volkswagen Passat 2007 Fuel/propulsion SystemVolkswagen Passat 2007 Fuel/propulsion System Review #10673095 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 10, 2015.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . on saturday jan 10, 2014, while cruising at approx 45 mph driving straight, on a dry and clear day, the ecp dash light came on with no warning and the power of the car diminished significantly slowing down immediately and acceleration was extremely slow making it unable to maintain traffic-flow speed and driving uphills was even worse, slowing down and not able to maintain speed until over the hill.(virginia hilly roads). i took car to the local vw dealer, terry vw lynchburg,va who told me that the 2 timing chains and all associated parts would need to be replaced with an estimate of $3536.00. i mentioned to them about the issue relating to the 3.6 engine in this make/model/year having a repeated problem with the oil pump bolt that holds these together working loose and that vw had recognized this issue and replaced the "oil pump bolt" with a new model bolt on the assembly line after this same issue had occurred repeatedly with other owners of this same 3.6 engine. same issue recorded multiple times in vwvortex.com, passatworld.com, carcomplaints.com, volkswagendefect.com, arfc.org, and others. i contacted vw of america who denied this problem existed and that they would not assist in the repair whatsoever. since this is not an isolated issue and vw is not ignorant of it, and it causes the car to slow down immediately without notice, this could have been a serious issue had i been on a hi-speed highway and/or in congested traffic, vw needs to recall these vehicles with this engine and replace these items as this is not a normal failure item on most vehicles with is low of mileage..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 111700 miles.
