2009 Volkswagen Passat Complaints

  • Electrical System, engine, fuel/propulsion System 09/22/2021

    I put fuel in the car and about to start the car and it won’t start. Lights flickering.

  • Steering 07/16/2021

    The power steering system fails when the engine/engine compartment gets hot. The problem has appeared after the car has been shut down (such as when refueling or a quick run into a store) and then restarted. When the key is pushed in to start the car, there is a loud grinding noise, a visible shimmy of the steering wheel, followed by the red steering wheel icon indicating there is a problem and 3 chimes. The steering wheel is locked in position with very limited turning ability and ability to control the direction of the car.
