Complaint
2010
POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WE SWITCHED LANES AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE. AFTER 15 SECONDS OR MORE THE CAR FINALLY RESPONDED. UPON REACHING OUR DESTINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT INTO PARK, WHEREUPON THE ENGINE RPM'S BEGAN TO CLIMB PAST 4000. THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT PUSHED DOWN. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE DRIVER'S INPUT AND COULD LEAD TO AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND WE ARE AWAITING A RESPONSE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2002 VOLSWAGEN PASSAT WITH 39000 MILES, ON 1/13/2005 THE OIL PRESSURE STOP ENGINE MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, AND THE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT DAY. THE DEALER AND VW SAID THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL I PROVIDED A SERVICE RECORD. I MADE THEM A COPY OF MY LOG WHICH HAD THE EXACT DATE AND MILEAGE, BUT THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. THEY WANTED COPIES OF THE RECEIPTS WHICH I WENT OUT AND GOT, BUT I LEARNED TODAY THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. THEY WANTED NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE MECH. WHICH I PROVIDED, BUT VW SAYS I DON'T HAVE PROPER DOCUMT. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC RECEIPT FOR THE OIL FILTER EVEN THOUGH THE PART # FOR THE FILTER IS ON THE RECEIPT. IT TOOK OVER 3 WEEKS AND DOZENS OF PHONE CALLS TO BOTH THE DEALER AND VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO FINALLY GET A DIAGNOSIS (NOTE: THE ASM OF VOLKSWAGEN OF AMER. DENIED MY WARRANTY ON 02/02/2005 WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR!!) WHICH APPEARS TO BE OIL SLUDGE BUILDUP. *JB
