This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Our 1999 Passat with the 1.8 liter engine stalls repeatedly when decelerating, this is dangerous. We purchased the car new and had a problems before 20,000 miles. VW cannot diagnose this problem. I took VW to the BBB since they were very uncooperative in repairing this problem, and then they changed the throttle body. Then the problem went away for a few years and is now back and VW again refuses to replace the throttle body. The throttle body is obviously defective and they will not admit that there is a problem or fix it.
