2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT WAGON — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE I TOOK IT INTO VOLKSWAGEN THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED IT BUT YET MY BUT THAT MYFUEL PUMP WENT OUT IT LEAKING GAS AND THEY SEND ME ON MY WAY THEY TOLD ME IT WAS GONNA COST ME $700 . I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS AND ACTUALLY WENT TO FUEL MY JOB GOES OUT THE FUEL PUMP GOES OUT TOSO I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO THAT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MODULE

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.
