Feb 082005

Passat 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 51,814 miles
1. complained to dealership more than once that vehicle stalled, ran rough. Dealer could not find problem, unresolved. 2. engine stopped, died, quit running while vehicle in motion. The only reason I was able to safely pull to the side of the road is the vehicle has a manual transmission, I disengaged the drivetrain, and was able to pull off the road without power. 3. vehicle towed to dealership, determined fuel pump failed. Replaced fuel pump, do not have old part.
