I got a recall notice regarding the cam issue with this vehicle. They are tell me the fix is to change the software in the ECM. However doing so will change the timing on my car which will affect the performance, gas mileage and emission that my pzev car puts out. Vw refuses to give me a straight answer on what they are changing. I believe that said changes will cause my vechile to pollute more and get worse mileage as they must be adjusting the timing to change the amount of vacuum the cam shaft makes.
2015 Volkswagen Passat transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle lost power while driving. Several warning lights appear. This occurred three other times, even after they car had been in for repair. Various engine parts have been replaced, such the turbo kit, turbo charger, glow plugs. The last incident occurred on dec 5 after picking the vehicle up and assured that it was fully repaired. While exiting the dealership, the car lost power and I was almost t-boned. The dealer continues to replace parts on the advice of the vw regional service manager. Yet we have serious concerns about the safety of the vehicle when in motion. They have put more miles on it than we have.
