VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with COMMUNICATIONS:BACK UP ALARM . as many others have stated on this site and all over the internet, the back-up camera is ridiculously slow to come on. most times, i can back out of my driveway, stop, and be going forward down the street before the back-up camera even comes on. at that point, i'm driving up to a block away with my back-up camera still on. while most of the time this is simply an annoying inconvenience, it is also a very real safety issue. one of the reasons i buy cars with back-up cameras is to make sure i'm able to see anything small (like a child, bike, etc.) behind the car while backing that my mirrors won't show. my lexus also has this camera (as did my prius that i traded for the passat) and it came on within one second of putting the car in reverse. the passat is routinely taking 6-8 seconds, and has taken as long as 15 seconds to turn on. i've noticed that it is not just the camera that is slow. many of the other functions of the touch screen are also slow to react. the vw dealer i bought the car from says that vw is aware of the issue but it is simply a slow processor so there is nothing they can do about it. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2800 miles.

(yes they are inflated to proper pressure) i took a 550 mile trip right after i bought it and the car was extremely unstable at 65mph+ on all surfaces including: smooth concrete, grooved concrete, old pavement, brand new pavement, pavement with no tire wear or tire grooves, in wind or no wind. the problem is when you try to keep the car in a straight line. it will not track straight. it will go left or right, but not straight. had alignment checked and it was correct. the car also tends to drift to the right a little no matter if your on the down or upslope of the crest on the road. it is borderline dangerous because in traffic i found the car wanting to dart towards the left and right lane. if you don't constantly fight the steering every second, you will hit a car next to you. i highly suspect it is the 17" hankook tires that come on the car as many have reported the same problems with these tires and have had issues from being dangerous in snow and water to the wandering left and right when trying to drive straight. some have even reported the sidewalls rupturing. this is an issue that puts me in fear for the safety of my family and i will be replacing the tires as soon as i can afford it. hopefully more people will complain here instead of just on forums. i urge you to research these tires and the vw passat forums and you will find tons of complaints about these tires. another note: i have driven trucks, family sedans, sports cars, suv's, audis, vw, mercedes, bmw, ford, chevy, dodge, and i have never felt the steering refusing to stay on the center line until this car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 470 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 07, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . we are driving a loaner 2013 vw passat that we are in the process of purchasing. we drove it for the first time at night and encountered a serious problem with the headlights. we exited the highway and while going around the bend of the off ramp i was unable to see the side of the road at all. at first i thought my vision blurred but as we examined it further we learned that there is a very serious dark area on both front corners of the car. when re -entered the highway we also found ourselves distracted by the dark spots even while going in a strait line. we proceeded to dim all instrumentation to see if that was adding distraction but the problem was still prevalent. as we drove home we reviewed the headlight dispersion of other cars and all of them projected adequate light in the front corners of the car. if there were a bicyclist or person walking on the side of the road there is a high probability we would have hit them or go off into a ditch from the inability to see the side of the road. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 180 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 21, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL . was out of town in rush hour traffic and experienced a near complete loss of power. the do not operate vehicle indicator light came on. was able to pull vehicle off to shoulder of the busy freeway and shut down the vehicle. after a few moments i re-started the vehicle. it still would not accelerate and the light came back on so i shut it down again. was able to call the vw service center with cell phone and a tow truck dispatched. got it to the local dealer. they said they could not help me because the service center was closed. luckily a motel was close by. the next morning the service center advised there may be a bad fuel problem. it was shell diesel from a fairly large city station. supposedly the fuel was "murky." if it was fuel problem i told vw service advisor i wanted a sample of the fuel so i could recoup my repair expense from shell. later i was told there were no metal shavings, and the parts and labor expense to drain the fuel, purge the lines, and replace the fuel filter was not charged to me per "good will" service. they did not save any fuel for me. i did incur motel and food expenses and am worried vw will not reimburs my trip interruption expenses because it is "bad fuel" and since i have no fuel i cannot prove to shell the fuel was bad. according to invoice the cause of my problem was a p0087 = fuel/system pressure too low. seems vw vehicles are having this problem more than they should and the customer is kept in the dark. i am afraid this problem will happen again. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 12382 miles.

(we do live on a mountain road that is a posted 55mph with some 40mph curves) the car did it and the service manager said, "hmmm." he said its their top of the line car and thinks its the stability control system. i asked if it was only in the front left wheel? he said "no." i asked how come it drags and pulls the front left no matter if it's a left or right turn, and is it supposed to do it so hard some times that it pulls you into oncoming traffic? he said "no."he said it sounds like a systems issue because we have known other people that have taken their tdi's in for this exact same issue so it's not just a sensor in this particular car. we called 3 days later to see if they had a resolve and they said the car is "fine and functioning normal, that i took the corner 8 mph too fast and the car did it's job"!! i am concerned for my family's safety as we have stated numerous times and given them every opportunity to address this and yet to no avail. this car does this everyday. it's not normal to say to your spouse that if i'm involved in an accident on our road, especially a head-on, it was the front left wheel that did it. these cars have a safety defect in this system and i want everyone to know. i don't know where to go from here. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 29, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL . during my trip from city of chicago to my home my car lost power and stalled in the middle of the street leaving me stuck among moving traffic. i attempted to start my car without any success and finally was able to push the car off the street and onto nearby parking lot. i had to stop the incoming traffic so i could accomplish that. i attempted to start my car couple more times and still had no success. at this time it was almost 9pm and the temperature was dropping dramatically. i contacted my wife who made arrangements for a sitter and started to drive towards me. i was freezing at that point inside my car as there were no venues open around me. after my wife arrived with tools and other equipment we still had no success and decided to have our car towed to our home of residence. the next day i tried to troubleshoot the car due to no avail. i contacted the nearest vw dealership and had it towed there. the vw dealership diagnosed the car and concluded a complete high pressure fuel pump failure. they replaced the fuel pump as well as the fuel lines, fuel filter and its housing, fuel injectors and they flushed the fuel tank from any meral shrapnel and debris. the vw od america covered the repair without any questions. they are completely aware of high pressure fuel pumps failing regularly on these vehicles but no recall is made and cars are dealt with case by case basis. i received great customer service from the dealer as well as the corporate. but due to how common this problem is among vw tdi cars it is alarming that such risk of car loosing power as such in a middle of the traffic exists. i am concerned for my safety and for others safety because no guarantee was made by vw that this problem wont happen again. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 48000 miles.

Volkswagen Passat 2013 Electronic Stability Control Review #10663409

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2013, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . i feel there is a safety issue with my 2013 volkswagon passat. there is know way to bypass the electronic traction control. every other car i've owned including my 2005 passat has a button that allow you to bypass the traction control. the passat is designed to shut the engine down when the tires begin to spin. this may help a novice driver or be helpful in the rain, but when your in the snow or ice and on a hill or incline it is dangerous to have the engine cut off and leave you stopped. it is almost impossible to get traction on a hill or to get any momentum when the car shuts the engine down when the tires spin. this leaves you at a stand still and vulnerable to cars or trucks behind you. the passat should be designed to bypass the traction control under these circumstances,so you can spin the tires to get momentum, so you can at least move off the roadway. it is necessary to spin the tires under certain circumstances so at least you can move the car to a safe location. i would hate to see someone get hurt because the passat becomes immobile when the tires spin. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1VWCN7A3XDC. Volkswagen Passat 2013 problem was reported in HOPEWELL JCT, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
