VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009 car safety problem was reported on Apr 22, 2012.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with STEERING . the description of the recall on the 130 earlier passat vehicles was exactly what we had. the steering wheel made a grinding noise when started and the warning light came on. the car was somewhat drivable but w/o any power assist whatsoever. i am a man and could wrestle with it to get the car out of the parking space and over to the local dealer. but my wife would have been stranded. and i fear what may happen if this failure occurred when the vehicle was in motion. there would likely be an accident through no fault of the driver. this had happened to my wife several times but if she shut the engine off and restarted the car, the problem went away. the dealer said they could not duplicate the problem and even sold us a new battery as their machine was showing low voltage codes. the tech even said that may affect the steering, since it has electronics. not sure why in the world we need steering systems that have electrical components. i think that vw has underestimated the number of vehicles that likely were manufactured with this defective part. the repair was an entire new steering rack for the car. *js .Mileage was 39870 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2010.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . we purchased a 2009 vw passat brand new in 2009. since then, we have had it worked on multiple times, all for the same problem! the car shows no warning sign, and all of a sudden it shakes, shuts off, and will not restart. this has happened while driving, as well as when parked and trying to start the car. this is all in regards to defect in the fuel pump system. the fuel pump has been replaced three times, along with fuel pressure sensor, intake manifold, batteries, you name it. this problem began at about 15,000 miles, and two of the repairs were still under warranty. everytime we have brought it to the vw dealer, it has been the same exact issue. this is an extremely dangerous issue, i was lucky i was not driving on the interstate when this occurred. i am fearful of what could happen, this car is not safe. the issue has not been fixed, and i am unsure how this has not been recalled already. i have read reviews again and again on the same issue with the 2009 passat models, and other passat year models have had fuel system recalls as well. whatever the underlying cause of this, whatever is causing the fuel pump to go bad, or if they are just junk, it is not safe and this issue needs to be investigated immediately. vw will take it more seriously when a life is on the line. still today, on 6/12/2013, thousands of dollars later, my 2009 vw passat is once again broke down, not starting, and the fuel pump once again, needs to be replaced. clearly this is a manufacturer's defect. we bought a brand new car for the safety and reliability value, and this has by far been the most unreliable and dangerous vehicle i have ever owned in my life. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 14, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2009, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . the car suddenly has 50% or less power and begins stumbling very badly. acceleration is so poor that it's quite dangerous in heavy traffic and the ability to pull off the road is severly hampered. the only way i'm able to keep the car moving and running is to use the manual feature of the automatic transmission and keep the rpm's very high. the four coil packs in the car were replaced this spring. suddenly, the same exact problem is back again 4 months later. codes were random misifre and multiple misfires at various cylinders. strange that all four packs go out at the same time....? that's not logical unless is something other than normal wear causing the issue. this problem has occurred twice and both time it begins in the middle of heavy traffic where the situation is very dangerous as the power loss is nearly complete. both times were under acceleration when the heavy stumbling occurred. i turned the car off and disconnected the battery for 5 min. to hopefully reset the cars epc as the problem is so sudden it almost certainly is electrical. there is no logical explanation for four coil packs all needing to be replaced at the same time and 4 months after the last replacement...? undoubtedly a consistently dangerous situation..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69000 miles.
