2016 Volkswagen Passat Engine Problems

“On may 21, 2018, I was driving to work. I stopped at a gas station, and when I went to leave my car died. I had the car towed to quirk vw in manchester, nh and they told me that the engine was blown. They told me that it had jumped time and valves of engine most likely have contacted pistons, etc. Needs engine and turbo assembly. There is a known timing chain tensioner lawsuit out on these cars. Luckily this did not happen on the highway and there was not a deadly accident.”

“I have noticed that my Passat has brake issues that leads me to believe that my car is affected by the national recall on Volkswagen passats. I have tried on numerous occasions to set appointments a dealership to have my car evaluated but to no avail. So as in a further attempt to protect the safety of me and my family I am filing this formal complaint to get some help before there are any issues with my car. This my everyday car my wife and children occupy this vehicle regularly, please if their any way for anyone who can look into my situation it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you”

“Our 2016 vw passatt bought new from vw dealer, while driving all of a sudden feels like it locks up totally downshift to almost neutral , luckily has done it more that 10 times but at speeds of only up to 40 MPH.feels like something underneath totally locks up, either transmission or brakes, engine does not shut off but stops you almost to complete stop, and then releases without engine shutting off . Brought a few times to dealer but says could not replicate. Unit has approx 55,000 miles now but has been doing since under 10,000.”

“2016 Volkswagen Passat, driving in the rain and the car slowed to a near stop and could not ascend a small incline on interstate 95 southbound at or about stratford, connecticut. The car was towed to a local vw dealership in stratford ct. When put into gear the engine shook violently and there was no power. When in park and neutral the engine was fine and could be revved without issue. The dealership told me that the wire connection between the TCM and icm' has water damage and that when they disconnected those wires there is signs of corrosion on the seal ?”

“EPC light came on within a week of buying car from dealer,took it to have it looked at and plugs and coil packs were shot,got that fixed and drove home and EPC came back on and was running bad,shaking and everything,made me lose speed drastically in heavy traffic and almost caused accident,now car has been sitting in driveway for the last few months because I’m afraid to drive it and I can’t really get rid of it because I owe way to much on it!”
