Well first off there was a recall on my year make and model but I guess it only lasted like a couple years .so twice already my fuel pump. Has needed to be replaced.which is what the recall was for .so I was driving In the fast lane on the freeway when out of nowhere my car just stalled putting me and my passenger in risk of being rammed from behind .I've had to take it too a mechanic two or three times so they can fix the same thing . I have the invoice from the repairs . Also I can be driving and the emergency brake will just engage by itself not having been touched by anyone or anything. It puts me and my passenger at risk for whiplash due to the fact that it engages when I'm driving .no warning lite come on I've just felt the jolt almost causing me to hit my head on the windshield. Please help .thank you Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I got this car like 2 months and I had nothing but problems...the check engine light has been on since I bought the car the tire message has been on since I got the car now since this last week I have a red flashing oil. Light come on and it says low oil pressure turn engine off and check the manual something like that. Plus about a month ago I took it to vw dealer ship they fix the exhaust manifold supposedly it was under warranty or something like that so I didnt have to pay and the 2 fuel injectors they replaced also and I cant get my other 2 fuel injectors replaced untill they go out..and I guess that's why I get a light that flashes ECP when I'm driving also...so after all that I still have problems maybe even worse now with the low pressure meaning fuel pump is going out maybe I'm not sure.i do not have anymore money to keep fixing this car I bought like 2 months ago from vison motor sports in tulsa ok...they really screwed me and this is my first car I bought and that I have ever owned....help please thank you..

The 2.0t tsi engine was made with a faulty timing chain tensioner which will fail and cause the timing chain to break causing immediate catastrophic engine damage putting the driver and occupants in danger because of loss of power and difficulty steering. I am extremely blessed that I noticed the car was acting funny and exited off the highway. It's ridiculous to me how the timing chain could cause that much damage to the engine. The engine obviously has been created with a faulty design, so now I'm expected to pay to replace a faulty engine with another faulty engine. It's extremely upsetting that after I sent my vehicle in for issues with a recall, fuel pump, that my vehicle would just self destruct like this

Engine is turning over but only starting occasionally. When it does start, the epc and check engine/catalytic converter lights are illuminated. This is happening now after I had to figure out the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced...before there was a recalled issued at my own expense. Car ran fine earlier today, then when trying to leave my house, took an extended time to start. Shut it off to see if it was a glitch, and didn't start at all.

I experienced a leak from the water pump while the car was stationary. I took it to my mechanic who stated that he always sees this type of problem with the volkswagens because volkswagen uses plastic parts and these parts are often around the highly heated areas in the engine therefore they fail. I bought this car for my daughter who will be driving back and forth to college and I am extremely concerned about her safety if vw is using inadequate parts in their cars. Also, repair costs are unimaginable, $1000, only to be replaced with the same plastic part. I also had to replace one of the tail light casings because it too was made of plastic and the tail light lamp burned into the plastic and ceased to light. We have also had this car in for two different parts recalls, airbag x 2, and fuel pump control module.

My car stopped running and then I recieved a letter saying it had a recall on the fuel pump control module. Well we thought that is what would fix the problem but as it turns out now I have to replace the fuel pump itself. After they fixed the part my car started to smell like gasoline and was too scared to drive it.this could have be avoided if they would have not had this recall.
