| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | I, TOO, HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT IGNITION COILS GO BAD ON MY 2002 PASSAT. I, TOO, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR LONG DISTANCES FOR FEAR OF GETTING STRANDED HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME. I, TOO, HAVE GOTTEN NO SUPPORT FROM VW. I, TOO, ONLY GET THE BAD COILS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE ONES THAT HAVEN'T DIED YET. I, TOO, AM EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT AND CAN'T BE DRIVEN FOR FEAR OF BEING STRANDED. TO OTHER FELLOW PASSAT OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS IN COLD WEATHER. MY FIRST ONE DIED IN AUGUST (THE SECOND ONE DIED IN OCTOBER). IS NHTSA PLANNING TO INTERCEDE? |
| 2003 | SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER | I RECENTLY WAS NOTIFIED OF VOLKSWAGEN'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN M2 CONCERNING SEAT HEATERS FOR 2002-2003 VW PASSATS. I HAVE HAD LESS THAN AN ADEQUATE RESPONSE FROM BOTH THE DEALER AND THE VW CUSTOMER CARE CENTER. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL LETTER FROM VW FROM MY FTP SERVER USING THE FOLLOWING LINK: |
