VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 17, 2011.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . check engine light comes on intermittently starting in march 2010 with a low fuel pressure fault. car runs fine most of the time, but sputters when the fault occurs and fuel economy suffers. after receiving this fault multiple times, repair shop suggests we try a new fuel filter to see if that clears it, but it will likely need a new fuel pump. new fuel filter helps for 3 weeks, but fault starts occurring again. i took the car to another shop for a second opinion and they agreed that i needed to replace the fuel pump and fuel pump sensor, which i had done in nov 2010 after the fuel gauge stops reporting accurate fuel levels. this clears both issues until february 2011, when low fuel pressure fault starts firing again intermittently every 2-3 weeks as it had before and fuel gauge is not reporting accurate fuel levels again. now vw states the fuel pump is not the problem (a $1k repair!) and is recommending a new high pressure fuel pump and cam shaft - a $2,300 repair! to add insult to injury my car now smells like fuel after driving it. vw refuses to provide any sort of warranty for any of this work, including the first two repairs that didn't fix the problem. i cannot afford to make these repairs at this time and i am considering asking vw credit to take back the car. *tr.Mileage was 65000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 04, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . car was serviced at the dealer at 90k miles. while driving locally one month after the service, the car was difficult to start, idled rough, sputtered while traveling, and bucked while stopped at a traffic light. it turns out that the timing chain slipped and caused the engine to break. the timing chain is not suggested to be replaced until 110,000 miles. upon further research, it appears there is a faulty engine component (timing chain tensioner) that vw is aware of, but refuses to let customers know about. please google tsb 15 12 01, dated july 23, 2012 which is a service bulletin released by vw detailing the faulty component. this faulty component has the potential to cause a major road hazard due to an uncontrollable vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 91500 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 03, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . my timing chain jumped timing at 74k miles. this caused the pistons to hit the valves and caused $6k worth of damage. the dealership informed me there was nothing preventative i could have done. they actually contacted vw to see what they would do to help with this issue. initially, they offered to contribute $1,000 toward repairs. i contacted vw because i saw 2 separate service bulletins on this model regarding the timing jumping. my timing jumped due to a faulty tensioner. when i spoke with vw, they didn't even offer the $1,000 anymore and simply got the dealership to reduce repairs by 15%, this was completely unacceptable considering a) their tensioners are faulty and are causing consumers to spend outrageous amounts of money on repairs b) this is not a normal wear-and-tear repair for the age and mileage of the car, per the dealership. the failure of the tensioner causes a jump in timing which immobilizes the car, which is dangerous if the car is operating at the time. it is costly because it causes significant engine damage. see service bulletin no.: tb-15-12-01 service bulletin no.: tb-15-11-04 . *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 74000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 07, 2010.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . i purchased this vehicle used at 42k miles in may 2010. the vw dealership had changed oil at the time of my purchase. almost exactly 4 weeks later i checked my oil and none registered on the dipstick. it required an entire quart of oil to bring back to acceptable fill level. calling vw they stated this was not enough oil to even constitute an oil test. they stated that this fsi motor can burn up to 1 quart of oil every 1200 miles and will still be within the mfr acceptable limits. this means in this 2.0t 4 cyl motor it can burn over 6 quarts of oil between oil changes, which is more than it can hold. a quart of full synthetic oil castrol brand as required is over $9, this is not cost effective and infuriating. i will not purchase another vw because of this experience and recommend anyone else not to as well. vw offered no options repairs or fixes and i foot the expensive oil habit. who buys a car that knowingly burns and breaks down full synthetic oil?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2008, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with STEERING . while merging onto an on-ramp on a toll road, at approximately 50 mph, the steering tried to pull the car in the opposite direction of the one i was turning. this was a "cloverleaf" on-ramp, with a tight turning angle. i immediately slowed down to about 30 or 35 mph, as i was beginning to come out of the turn and it happened again. i was turning the the right and steering would turn the steering wheel to the left for a second or two. i was forced to try to maintain the correct direction and avoid crashing. i brought the car to the dealership, but they were unable to duplicate the issue. it only seemed to happen on this one particular on-ramp at the time. approximately a month later (on a monday, 10/20/2014), i was on another similar "cloverleaf" on-ramp but at different location and the same thing happened, while turning to the right. later that day the same issue occurred while i was turning to the left on a lesser exit ramp, and the steering wheel would "glitch" and try to pull the car to the opposite direction. being aware that this had happened a couple of times, i was very cautious about my speed on these ramps. regardless of the speed, the issue would still occur. the next day, the steering issue happened again at a different location, three times while on the ramp, pulling the car in the opposite direction. i brought it back to the dealership that same week on friday (10/24/2014). they were finally able to duplicate the issue and said i needed to have the entire steering rack replaced. since the problem was getting worse and could cause an accident, i was forced to have the repair made, which cost more than $1,700. this was a very scarey issue and i was very afraid it would cause me to get into an accident..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 106483 miles.
