2009 Volkswagen Passat Engine Problems

“Driving car when suddenly a warning message is displayed stop engine immediately. The car was in forward motion as I was driving on a 4 lane highway. This has happened several times. Not turning, not braking, not backing up. We discussed it with a vw dealer. They said the car has a recall on the fuel pump 10 months ago but as of yet, no parts and no eta. Online reports suggest the engine may overheat and seize or cause engine fire.”

“My car has 76000 miles and is otherwise in excellent condition. I just got a check engine light, and after replacing the pcv valve, and I was told by my mechanic that the rear main engine seal is leaking. The car is out of warranty at this point and now I have to spend almost $1000 in repairs. This is something that should be covered by vw warranty, as there are so many cases of this exact failure at the same amount of miles.”

“My vehicle's check engine light came on and stayed on for several days, and the engine started running abnormally, so I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic discovered that the intake manifold needed to be replaced, in addition to other work on the engine and fuel system. I found out that Volkswagen had issued an extended warranty for the intake manifold and fuel injectors of my vehicle's engine. …”

“Rear main oil seal needed to be replaced. It was compromised by excessive pressure in crankcase because pcv breather was not functioning. There was no check engine condition prior to the rear seal being compromised. Rear main seal replacement costs $1146, parts and labor. Pcv valve was also replaced. I noticed an oil leak on garage floor, which LED me to bring it into service for a technician to inspect. I would like vw to compensate for some of the costs for this repair.”

“My 2009 Volkswagen stoped starting, so I had it towed into a dealership where they ran a few tests and determined that my timing chain tensioner failed which resulted in the failure of my engine. As a result, I needed to pay around $7000-$8000 in order to replace. Given I could not afford, ive been making my monthly payment as I am financially obligated to do so. The car only had 70,000 miles, therefore I am surprised that the engine already went and feel this is something vw should replace.”
