On 2 july 2018 I received notice of the fuel pump ecm recall. I immediately went to my local dealer and had the recall work performed - replacement of the ecm, relocation of the ecm from top of pump to rear right wheel well. on 7 july 2018, I folded the rear seat down to expand the cargo area of the vehicle. on 15 july 2018, I returned the rear seat to seating position. later that day, the fuel pump failed while driving. took to nearest dealer who charged $140 diag fee to tell me the fuel pump was bad - well, duh! the issue correlates to the ecm being recently traded out. the fuel pump itself was replaced 3 months earlier. they didn't notice the coincidence. vwusa merely played a game of operator between me and the dealer and was totally impotent and unwilling to intervene. it was their recall work that killed my fuel pump and now I need to pay for another pump? never mind invalid diagnostics and fees, and time lost.

Late september 2017 the check engine light went off in my 2007 passat while I was driving to work. I took the passat in for a repair the following day, and the high pressure fuel pump was repaired, after driving off the lot, the check engine light came back on, less than 100 yards away. I did not drive the car, after the repair, other than to my drive way, less than 5 miles away. while we were trying to figure out what to day, less than a week later, october 12, 2017, I received a recall notice in the mail, that what I had just repaired was a recall, and safety issue. We called the shop, and they informed us that since it was a recall to wait for VW to resolve the issue. After multiple phone calls with VW corporate office, and rude customer service reps who hung up on me when I asked questions regarding the repair, I finally got a hold of someone that was kind enough to listen. she made a phone call to have our car looked at, the closest VW dealership and we had it towed in only for them to tell us there were several issue wrong with the vehicle. So we called our local VW certified mechanic, to verify the issues, since he had just seen it, and he informed that none of what they were telling us was wrong with the vehicle. we then had it towed back to our mechanic locally, and he looked at the car again. since we had been out our second vehicle for a couple of months, we asked him to fix it so we could again use it. The mechanic had the car for two weeks, when he thought it was repaired, he would find more issues. after at least three phone calls of more issues, it was repaired, with a hefty bill, of near 2K dollars, ontop of the over 2K we put in to replace the recall a month earlier. I decided to trade in my car as I needed something reliable and safe.i have been checking on line since october 2017 for repair remedies, of which three IS none, as of 1/11/18.

First of all the tekata airbags are a recall. The fuel pump module. It all started woh phen the fuel pump modules failed and the car would turn on but turn right off and I was told it was the fuel pump modules when I had it diagnosed.
