Some sites have reported various Volkswagen Passat complaints.

16,000 miles

Wheels Grinding

I had told the dealership that the wheels were grinding. Well, they "claimed" to have fixed it. Well, it still grinds & I have not had the car a year.

18,000 miles

Fuel Injection

I have not even had this car a year and the fuel injection is messed up. VW & the Steve White dealership keeps on telling me they stand by their product. cks!

3,000 miles

Headlights Fail

The right headlight failed at 1500 miles and was repaired by the dealer. The same headlight failed again at 3000 miles. The dealer says it cannot be repaired - the entire assembly needs to be replaced. I have been waiting for over a month for that new assembly. The dealer and "VW Customer Care" both say the part is on backorder. I do not know what to do next short of beginning "lemon law" action against VW.

7,000 miles

Cracking noise

My car make cracking noise during cold weather when temp is around 40s and when I go over the bumps at 10 to 30MPH. VW service technician was unable to determine the cause. The noise is really annoying and I am scared if it leads to something major issue.
