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.
Failure of ignition coils on 2003 volkswagon Passat resulting in sudden total inability to drive vehicle. Estimated repair time due to parts shortage - 2 weeks. Dealer acknowledged that this is a growing problem with 1.8T Passats and expects a goverment mandated recall soon.
Dealer say VW is aware of problem, but not proactively replacing all 4 coil packs. A major inconvenience and possible safety problem! I have heard of many other people with multiple failures. Some resulting in engine stalls at very dangerous moments.
