2012 Volkswagen Passat Complaint Log

LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY APPEARS FOGGED OVER ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. DEALER INDICATES THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) IN THIS ASSEMBLY HAS OVERHEATED. THE INCREASED TEMPS CAUSED THE PLASTIC LENS TO APPEAR CLOUDY AND OR FOGGED OVER. THE HIGHER TEMP HAS CHANGED THE SHAPE OF THE REFLECTOR OF THE DRL SOCKET TOO, CAUSING THE LEFT DRL TO APPEAR SIGNIFICANTLY DIMMER THAN THE OTHER SIDE DRL, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. WHEN DRIVING, THE FOGGED HEADLIGHT LENS DIMINISHES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT EMITTED OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE DIMINISHED BRIGHTNESS OF THE DRL IS OBVIOUS . THIS CONDITION WAS NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE IN LATE 2014 BUT SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED OVER TIME. LAST WEEK IT OCCURRED TO ME TO ASK, DURING SCHEDULED DEALER SERVICE, ABOUT GETTING THE LENS CLEARED, THE DEALER POINTED OUT THE DEFECT IN THE OVERHEATED AND MISSHAPEN LENS ASSEMBLY IN THE DRL. THE VEHICLE IS USED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO COMMUTE VIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY BETWEEN HOME AND WORK.

TAKATA RECALL I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BASED OFF OF A RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THE RECALL # IS 69M9. THE LETTER STATES THAT METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT REPAIRING THE RECALLED VEHICLES UNTIL ENOUGH REPAIR PARTS ARE PRODUCED. VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME IN WRITING THAT MY CAR IS "SAFE" TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS ON HOLD WITH VW CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING FOR ONE HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE RECALLED AIR BAG THAT IS IN MY CAR AND THAT VW DOES NOT HAVE A LOANER CAR PROGRAM FOR ITS CUSTOMERS TO USE UNTIL IT FIXES THE PROBLEMS WITH HE AIRBAGS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE NHTSA STATES THAT MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE AIRBAGS CAN BE FIXED. YET ALL OVER THE NEWS IT STATES THAT THE CARS WITH THE TAKAKA RECALL ARE NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING UNTIL THE AIRBAGS ARE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL WHY IS VW BEING ALLOWED TO DRAG THEIR FEET. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED MONTHS AGO AND STILL THEY SAY NO REMEDY. AND YET, OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE LOGGED OVER 8 MILLION REPAIRS. I KEEP GETTING NOTICES AND YET NO REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. HOW CAN I FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE?

TAKATA RECALL- SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I HAVE NOT HAD A TIME WHERE THERE ISN'T A RECALL OF SOME SORT. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS AND EVERYONE IS OFFERING NEARLY NOTHING. COME TO FIND OUT ITHE IS DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL THAT HAS RENDERED MY CAR IN A "STOP SALE", A BUYING AND SELLING FREEZE. NO ONE WILL BUY THEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SELL THEM DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I AM STUCK WITH AN EVER RECALLED VEHICLE THAT IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP AND I HAVE NO WAY OUT OF IT. TAKATA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND IS CREATING A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP FOR PEOPLE DRIVING THEM AND A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN BECAUSE WE CAN'T PURCHASE A SAFER VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2012 VW PASSAT TDI (DIESEL). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE FIX APPARETLY IS OVER 1000.00 AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MANY 2012 VW PASSAT TDI VEHICLES WHICH ARE RIGHT OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FIX IS A KIT FOR THE ADBLU EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE FROM VW. CODE P203B REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT VW REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND AM GETTING ZERO ANSWERS OR RESOLUTION. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE AND ASKED FOR A TIME-FRAME FOR THE FIX AND RECEIVED NONE. I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND WAS TOLD TO REQUEST ONE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. A WEEK AFTER LEAVING A MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY DON'T HAVE LOANER CARS THAT DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS IN THEM THAT ARE NOT IMPACTED, SO IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I WAITED A MONTH AND CHECKED VW'S WEBSITE AND THERE IS ZERO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE PARTS OR WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. I OPENED A CHAT WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE ON 4/15 AND RECEIVED A COPY AND PASTE RESPONSE TO MY CONCERNS, WHICH STATED NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE. I WAS ALSO AGAIN DENIED A LOANER CAR WHICH WAS SAFE IN THE INTERIM. I FEEL THAT VW AND TAKATA ARE NOT TAKING THE MATTER SERIOUSLY OR MOVING IN A FAST ENOUGH MANNER. I UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THIS, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE URGENCY IN THAT PEOPLE ARE DYING AND OTHER ARE DRIVING UNSAFE CARS. VW SHOULD HAVE LOANER CARS AVAILABLE ALONG WITH A TIMELINE OF THEFIX IN PLACE AT THIS POINT AS THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED LAST YEAR. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THEIR HANDLING. ANY PRESSURE THAT COULD BE PUT ON THEM TO EXTEND LOANER CARS OR MOVE FASTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I ALSO LIVE IN A HIGH HEAT STATE (NC), WHICH COMPOUNDS THE SERIOUSNESS. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I AM IN UPPER MANAGEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR AND I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DROPPING THEIR CARS OFF AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE STORIES OF THE 12+ DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED FROM THESE AIRBAGS FROM THE MOUTHS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO THANKFUL TO GET A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEIR CAR CAN BE FIXED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM'S AT THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS RECALL AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SITUATION. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SHOCKED I WAS TO FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY WAS MY WIFE'S VW A PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT VW WAS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH EFFECTED VEHICLES. I ESSENTIALLY RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT SAID "YOUR CAR HAS A GRENADE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT COULD KILL YOU. WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO FIX THIS BUT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE DO. KEEP DRIVING UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US." WHEN I CALLED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT HOW ON EARTH THEY COULD JUSTIFY NOT PROVIDING SAFE TRANSPORTATION LIKE THE OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS WERE I WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS DIED IN A VW YET, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN HONDAS. ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY BITE THE BULLET AND FOOT THE BILL FOR SAFE REPLACEMENTS? I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT VW IS ROLLING THE DICE AND TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER MASSIVE EXPENDITURE WHILE IT'S STILL REELING FINANCIALLY FROM ITS EMISSIONS SCANDAL.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016 FOR TAKATA AIRBAG. I CALLED TWICE AND VISITED THE LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIM THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY STOCK FOR VOLKWAGEN SINCE THE APRIL NOTICE. PLEASE BE ADVISED.

TAKATA AIR BAGS I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW IN THE CRAP THE VW PEOPLE CAN GET AWAY WITH RECALLING THESE CARS FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT CAN CAUSE "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS" AND BE SO [XXX]IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THERE IS NOT TIME TABLE FOR REPAIRS SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE WILL BE SUBJECTED TO "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". SOMEONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD STEP UP AND DEFEND US FROM THESE MONEY HUNGRY JERKS. WHY ISSUE THE RECALL IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. I TALKED WITH A VW "CUSTOMER CARE" REPRESENTATIVE AND HE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE YET I HAVE BEEN "WARNED" A MALFUNCTION COULD LEAD TO "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". WHAT ARE THOSE OF US WHO NEED OUR CARS TO SURVIVE TO DO? VW OFFERS NO LOANER CAR OR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. I THINK THIS IS CRAP AND IF I DIE BECAUSE OF SOME DEFECTIVE FOREIGN PART I HOPE SOMEONE IN CHARGE TAKES NOTICE SO OTHERS WILL NOT.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD THIS RECALL FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND NOBODY AT VOLKSWAGON WILL GIVE ME ANY INFO. HONDA HAS FIXED ALL THEIR TAKATA AIRBAGS. I AM TIRED OF WAITING. I COULD BE KILLED!!!!

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE BEING NOTIFIED ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR OUR 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN NOTIFYING US OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL WAS DATED APRIL 2016. THIS SAFETY RECALL HAS AFFECTED OUR USE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL. IT HAS ALSO AFFECTED RESALE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A LETTER APRIL 2016, HEARING NOW THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE, WHILE 16 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED OR 180 INJURED - DUE TO EXPLODING WITH SO MUCH FORCE AND SPEW SHRAPNEL INTO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS, IT'S LIKE DRIVING A SUICIDE CAR EVERY DAY, SCARY! I'M A WIDOW, ON A FIXED INCOME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, WHICH IS ALL I RELY ON NOW TO GET AROUND.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CALLED AND VISITED VW DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ISN'T AVAILABLE AS OF YET.

ONE OF THE ACTUATORS IN THE HVAC SYSTEM PREMATURELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE RECIRCULATION ACTUATOR. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO PROPERLY DEFROST, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FOGGED WINDSCREEN WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACTUATOR (AT MY EXPENSE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. AN ACTUATOR SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFETIME. I, THE USER, DID NOT DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TO CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. *TR
