Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2008 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2.0T. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 66000 MILES. AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO MY DEALER ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON AND THEM SAYING IT WAS A SENSOR NOT A PROBLEM THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 65 DOING 65MPH THE CAR SPUTTERED AND LOST MOST POWER DOWN A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THIS CAUSED A QUICK REDUCTION IS SPEED. COME TO FIND OUT THE CAMSHAFT AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WERE DESTROYED BY THE TWO COMPONENTS GRINDING AGAINST EACH OTHER. NOW THE 2006 AND THE 2007 VEHICLES BOTH HAD THIS PROBLEM AND VOLKSWAGEN PUT EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT SOONER OR LATER. THANK YOU *TR
