Volkswagen Passat problems
The Volkswagen Passat is a nameplate of large family cars (D-segment) manufactured and marketed by the German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen since 1973. It has been marketed variously as the Dasher, Santana, Quantum, Magotan, Corsar and Carat, with varying body styles such as saloon, estate, and hatchback.
A "four-door coupé" variant of the Passat with a lower roof was released in the North American market in 2008 as the Passat CC, which was then renamed to Volkswagen CC. The CC was succeeded by the Arteon in 2017.
In January 2011, Volkswagen introduced a separate Passat model line, internally designated "Volkswagen New Midsize Sedan" or NMS, that was manufactured in the US at the Chattanooga assembly plant and in China at Nanjing by SAIC-Volkswagen. Developed to increase Volkswagen sales in North America, the Passat NMS is larger and cost less to produce. sold in the North America, South Korea, China, and Middle East. The separate B8 Passat model entered production in Europe in 2014, based on the MQB platform.
In 2019, the Passat NMS program was split into two as the North American one continued being produced on an older platform while the Chinese Passat moved on to the MQB platform, which resulted in Volkswagen marketed three models under the Passat nameplate globally at that time. The North American Passat was discontinued after the 2022 model year.
Volkswagen ended the production of the saloon Passat for the European market in 2022. The B9 Passat, released in 2023, is only available in an estate body style. The Passat continues to be available as a saloon in China.

Common Volkswagen Passat problems
Based on complaints from owners of the Volkswagen Passat, several common problems have been identified:
- Engine Oil Leaks: Another prevalent issue is engine oil leaks in Volkswagen Passat cars. These leaks often stem from components like camshaft chain tensioners and valve cover gaskets, leading to oil seepage and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
- Digital Display Faults: The digital display in the instrument cluster of Volkswagen Passat vehicles is prone to issues such as going dark or losing functionality after driving. This can affect the driver's ability to monitor critical information like speed, fuel levels, and warning lights.
- ABS Light Due to ABS Control Module Failure: A common problem reported by Passat owners is the illumination of the ABS light due to ABS control module failure. This issue can impact the vehicle's braking system, potentially compromising safety on the road.
- Rear Wheel Bearing Housing: Some Passat owners have experienced problems with the rear wheel bearing housing. Issues in this area can lead to noise, vibration, and compromised handling, affecting the overall driving experience and safety of the vehicle.

Volkswagen Passat 2010
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-13
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-23
- VIN: WVWMP7AN9AE
- Components: STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: I purchased a used vehicle but have found out the oxygen sensor is feeding false error codes to the main OBC causing leaks into driver compartment causing engine to stall while auto in motion and most importantly causing steering wheel to lock, have spoken with VWoA but they have no direct influence with VW or dealerships even if a warranty issue because all parties are independent contractors and all they are able to do is try and help. My name has not been transferred to registration because of smog requirements so you may call me [XXX] my telephone number is [XXX] my case# with VWoA is [XXX], I myself have learned to deal with defects but should this matter be more widespread which I cannot find out because the last case regarding the sensors was sealed in an agreement made by the California ARB, EPA and VW and Audi through a settlement signed in December 2021. Once again my hands are tied from taking much more action but I believe your department whether is able to enforce this matter or not should at least investigate and issue warnings to advise people of what can happen so if they can even at own cost seek appropriate repairs before more damages accrued. Also if this sensor is effecting more models and manufacturers an appropriate temporary fix should be seeker since no long term solutions are available at this time INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Volkswagen Passat 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-23
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-27
- VIN: 1VWBV7A34FC
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: This is the second car like this that I have had. Both had the same issues. when at highway speeds of 65 or greater the steering wheel will shake left and right. It is almost like there is a wheel that is not balanced. That is not the case, I have had the car in the shop 3 times now for this same issue. The last car I had(2015 VW Passat TDI) my son totaled it out in January. It also had the same issues but the dealer ship in Fort Wayne Indiana got it fixed and never really told me what was wrong with it other than they had to call the manufacturer to resolve the issue. The new car has been to the shop and I recorded what it was doing while driving for the technician to see and he put it back up on his lift the day after I got it back from them. he was able to replicate what it was doing for me on the road in the air and on his lift without the car moving. The steering wheel will shake from left to right and as speed picks up it becomes faster and more violent. I was told that I needed a new "Rack and Pinion". The dealership explained to me that the main steering gear is bad and since it is electronic the computer doesn't know where zero should be, thus causing the jerking of wheel from left to right as the computer is guessing and then over correcting. This information would have been more helpful upfront before I paid to have the car worked on chasing other issues that did not resolve the problem. So as of right now I am $1,700.00 in on this issue and being told that it's another $3,500.00 to fix said issue with no guarantee that it will actually be fixed. I asked what would happen if the gear actually broke and I was told to always wear my seatbelt and to keep both hands on the steering wheel. The faster you go the harder it shakes, when your at highway speeds and go to pass someone the car really shakes.

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your car! It sounds like you do a lot of driving for work, so it's great that you're getting such good highway mileage - 28 to 30 MPG is really impressive. And I agree, the Passat is a very good-looking car. It's great to hear that the leather seats are holding up well, too. Just remember to keep good tires on it and you should be good to go! :)

Vehicle year: 1995
I'm currently on my third Passat and I'm loving it! After selling my 91 16v, I decided to upgrade to a VR6. This car is amazing! It's incredibly sturdy and doesn't require a timing belt or any other repairs (VR6's have a chain). Not only does it drive great, but it also saves me money by avoiding costly mechanic bills. If you're not convinced about VWs, I highly recommend taking one out for a spin. That's what I did 6 years ago, and I've been a VW enthusiast ever since!

I see that you have owned four VW Jettas since 1997. In 2005, you decided to upgrade to something with more room and AWD. After some research, you fell in love with the VW Passat. The '05 Passat 4Motion handles and feels a lot like an Audi A4, but with a much lower sticker price.

Vehicle year: 2018
I recently purchased a VW Passat and had little knowledge about VW vehicles at the time. However, I chose this vehicle due to its safety rating, size, gas mileage, and transferable warranty. The Passat's comfortable seating makes it an excellent choice for long commutes or frequent travel. Despite having a 4 cylinder engine, the turbocharged Passat has impressive acceleration. Additionally, it is equipped with many features that I appreciate, including the adaptive cruise control option. This feature is a must-have for all my future vehicles as it transitions smoothly and slows down evenly without being jerky or jarring. Overall, I am confident that I made the right choice in purchasing this vehicle.

I actually purchased this car via internet-telephone. The dealer was low pressure and the salesman was well-versed in the car's features and professional. I would definitely buy another VW. This is my third and while the first one had its quirks, the last two have been a dream.
Are you having problems with your Volkswagen Passat?
Jonathan Cremin 2024-11-29
Vehicle year: 2012
In the past 3 years, I have had to replace a wheel bearing and have experienced creaking noises from the suspension. Additionally, the vehicle has had difficulty starting, even to the point of not starting several times when cold. Despite these issues, the dealership service and VW have dismissed the suspension and starting problems as normal. However, I believe that a new vehicle should start reliably every time, and I am not satisfied with the current situation. I expect my new car to provide dependable service.
Loyal Thompson 2024-11-28
Vehicle year: 2008
I recently purchased a used VW Passat with only 19k miles on it. However, I noticed that the engine consumed 2 quarts of full synthetic oil in just 4900 miles. When I approached the dealer about this issue, they told me that it was normal for this engine and that I should consider myself lucky that it wasn't worse. Unfortunately, they were not able to offer any help. As a result, I decided to call the 800 VW number in March of 2010. The VW staff was very friendly and helpful, and they suggested that I go back to the dealer, have them change the oil, and return within the 6k oil change interval. At that time, the dealer would weigh the oil and determine if I was within VW's standard. Although this was at my own cost, I appreciated the suggestion and felt that it was a fair solution.
Anthony Herman 2024-11-27
Vehicle year: 2016
I recently purchased a 2016 R-Line Passat and unfortunately experienced some issues within the first few weeks of ownership. The car required an alignment and I also noticed some spots on the hood. The dealership offered to repaint the hood, but it would require keeping the car for a week and a half. While this was disappointing, the biggest frustration came from the misleading pricing and lack of support from VW regarding the installation of a Remote Start. The dealership quoted me $1200 for the installation, claiming that multiple parts needed to be replaced. However, I found a document on the VW website that stated this was not necessary and that the MSRP for the option was only $246. When I brought this to the dealership's attention, they denied the validity of the document. After a month of trying to resolve the issue, the dealership finally admitted that there was an error in the system and that the VON check was incorrect. Unfortunately, the installation of the Remote Start has been delayed due to a part that needs to be ordered from Germany. Despite contacting customer care, I have not received any substantial assistance. As a first-time VW customer, this has been a disappointing experience. However, I remain hopeful that the issues will be resolved soon.

Hi there! I have a Volkswagen Passat R Line 2018 with an odometer reading of 40,000 miles and it's still under warranty. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing an issue with the EPC light and a loss of power while driving. I reached out to the Volkswagen dealership service, but they put me on a waiting list for 3 weeks. I also asked for a shuttle rental, but unfortunately, I didn't receive the help I was hoping for. It's frustrating that even though I have a warranty bumper to bumper, it doesn't seem to matter when there's a problem. Thanks for listening!

Avoid leasing VWs at all costs. The turn-in inspection process is notoriously difficult, and any issues with the vehicle will result in costly repairs. Additionally, VWs are not ideal for snowy conditions and have been known to have multiple transmission problems. While some may have had negative experiences with VW dealerships and customer service, it is important to note that every individual's experience may vary. It is recommended to thoroughly research and consider all options before making a purchasing decision.
