Complaint

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
AT 62K MILES 3 CONTROL ARMS/BUSHINGS AND TIE ROD END HAVE FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AUTHORIZED DEALER'S MECHANIC SEEMED SURPRISED THAT THIS PART FAILED SO EARLY. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2000 PASSATS (AND AUDIS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO USE SAME PARTS), AND THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN SUPPOSEDLY ISSUED FOR IN GERMANY. WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN ADDRESSED HERE IN THE U.S. IF IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SAFETY RISK? *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED 2014 FULLY LOADED PASSAT ON 10/26/13, SAFETY ISSUE WITH CAR DUE TO MY 1.5 HR DAILY COMMUTE. EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY WHEN USING BLUETOOTH THROUGH CARE STEREO, NOT RECOGNIZING NAMES ON IPHONE 4S CAUSING DRIVER TO REMOVE EYES FROM ROAD TO LOOK UP NUMBER WHICH IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION ESPECIALLY DURING NIGHT DRIVING. *TR
