2010 Volkswagen Passat Owner Comments

Passat 2.0L Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 108,553 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Diesel under VW payment program for emissions and fuel economy claims - can either keep car and accept cash, or trade car at inflated value. How many people do you know that have experienced a broken front spring on a car - chances are they all owned recent VW or Audi models. VERY DANGEROUS. Happened at highway speed on smooth road - blew tire - failed the wheel bearing. Dealer showed me three broken springs, all from VWs. This failure cost me $788, but the other strut, two tires and the wheel bearing still need attention.

I believe the break is due to bad metallurgy. The spring has no missing paint - no corrosion - classic spiral fracture from metal fatigue.

To make matters worse, one puny 17 mm lug-nut was so tight, it caused the lug wrench to fail - also metal weakness due to bad metallurgy.

I had similar issues with metal sourced in China - VW is a the #1 auto in China - could be the cause of their prb.

I would like to see a saftey-related recall. What do I do next?

Passat Sport 2.0L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,417 miles

I reported this to VW . They said it happens and it is most likely dirt that caused it.

They gave me a price of 1600.00 to replace both sides.

Why replace both sides if only one side is broken

Is this another money grab.
