2014 Volkswagen Passat: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jan 11, 2024 · Fuel system · FL

Car started to stall, the spark plugs, injectors, sensors all replaced. I go to pickup the car on three different occasions and it won't go 1/10 of a mile without stalling and refuses to start. The garage I was dealing with refuses to work on it any more. I think this seems to be a common problem with the 2014 Passats, but I don't see where anyone's has been fixed. The stalling has happened on multiple dates. Now it's at a garage and can't even get it to dealer and have already spent over 1000.00

2014 VW Passat: EPC light and Engine light went on, 1/11/2022. Car stalled. Called AAA and waited awhile. Tried again and car started so I drove.... 0.4 miles and it happened again. AAA driver said it wasn't the battery (lights were still on). Towed to my mechanic. He changed the oil and gave me a new battery. I drove 600 miles roundtrip the next day. Then, on 1/22/2022 same thing happened. EPC light, Engine light went on and Car stalled. The fix: I needed a new Fuel Pump Control Module. Interestingly enough, my OTHER VW Passat (2006) had a recall on the Fuel Pump.

Vehicle started having issues with the fuel gauge showing that the vehicle was empty when we fill up the tank. After the tanks was about 3/4 or less then gauge will start working. I reported this problem to the dealership when the car was new, but they could not find any issues, at one point, if I remember well they said it was a sensor. The last few months the car started having issues starting and we thought it was the battery. Battery was replaced and it happened a few more times, when we parked the car it will not start. The next day starts with no issues for a few days or weeks. Finally, on 3/8/19, the car will will not start anymore and it had to be towed. The engine turns and everything looks fine. When I did some research, it shows some fuel pump issues with 2014 volkswagen cc and other models, but not the passat. I remove the back seat of the car to access the fuel pump to check if I can feel the pump running and check if there was power to the pump. To my surprise, when I removed the plug to check the power, the connector was completely corroded and there was some liquid (assume was water) on the connector. I went to the dealership and reported the issue, but I was ignored as they never seen any issues with the pump. On 2014, we bought two passat a few months apart. The first one was having issues when running, the engine stalls. We reported to the dealership and they could not find any issues. After a few accidents scares, meaning it was very close to happens, we had to rid of the other passat last year. Now with this issue on the second passat, we think that issues with cars are related. It is strange that some there are recalls for other vw model for fuel pump the same year but not my car. Please see the attached pictures. I have the old pump on my possession if needed for any reason.

1.faulty clock spring resulting in no working horn or airbag 2. Call stalls and won't start intermittently. Dealer can't find issues but I think it's related to the faulty fuel pump recall
