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.
I had problems with the faulty ignition coil two times and the second time, they replaced all the coils. Here in Texas, when the temperature goes down below 28 F ( which is very rare) I am afraid.I can be stuck in the road. Hope the coil problem wont happen again. I also have problem with the brakes. Its making creaking sounds with the parking brake / hand brake. The technition told me that its natural..I cant beleive that. I gues I have to spend lot of money in near future to replace all those brake parts. Also the metal beeding on the roof is coming up. It is not causing any problem, but I have to push it hard almost everyday. I guess VW never tested the car for long time. So far I found so many complaints about Passat. Hope they will improve it.
