2015 Volkswagen Passat Engine Problems

After having the government approved and MANDATED Phase 1 and 2 Dieselgate fixes performed on my VW Passat TDI it has randomly lost power and or stalled while at highway speeds at least 6 times. The last time my 16 year old son was left stranded in the middle of a busy four lane highway narrowly avoiding being hit and seriously injured and/or killed.

My heater core is bad. There was a previous recall on older passat models, but for 2015 it is not included. I had to pay $871 to have my heater core replaced, as it started to leak coolant in my car.

Car lost power while driving. Almost caused crash, as I was accelerating and sudden loss of power with cars coming. Car would not rev over 2k RPM, and took about 2 minutes to get to 45mph.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 volkswagen passat. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated on its own. On another occasion, while attempting to accelerate from a red light, the front tires spun and the vehicle did not move.

When you accelerate the automobile the car hesitates up to 10 seconds and looses power, power returns after the 1 through 10 seconds. This happens at various points; on rolling highway while making a pass of another car; changing lanes on the highway and accelerating, at dead stop from either a stop sign or stop light.

Engine cylinder number one piston broke while driving. Vehicle has only 91,000 miles on it and now entire engine needs replacing. Ironically, it was taken to a VW dealership only a few weeks ago for normal servicing, and no problems detected.

I don't drive my car often as I work from home and travel out of town all the time. I only have 16k miles on my car despite of owning it for 3 and a half years. Recently, the check engine sign showed up on the dashboard.

Oil consumption. The car now has about 122,000 miles in it but at about 1000,000 miles the car was down 1& 1/2 quarts of oil within 5000 miles since then it has gotten worse. Ian now adding a quart of oil at 3,000 miles and the oil light is coming on.

There is a faint but unmistakable smell of engine coolant coming from the front of the car near the radiator after the car gets to operating temperature. Coolant level is decreasing very slightly over the course of several months. There are no visible signs of coolant anywhere in the engine or on the ground.

I have no heat on the passenger side of the vehicle from any of the vents. The windshield would ice up due to this. The drivers side works fine.

The car consumes one quart of oil per week. Also, the Electronic Stabilization Control and ABS cause the car to sputter and stop. This happened in 2019 and now it is happening again in 2022.

Car is burning excessive oil within 3,000 miles after oil change

I bought this vehicle at drivetime in pittsburgh (north hills) with 36,000 miles. The engine had a loud sound from the moment that I took it off the lot. I was told "that is how vws sound".

The epa & carb required modifications to my diesel vehicle that on reading the technical details in the required paperwork, my vehicle actually pollutes slightly more after the fix! Less mileage, less power, pollutes slightly more. Contacted epa & carb many times to ask them to explain the emissions after their 'fix,' never returned email or call.

Heater not heating as should. Heater core seems to plugged, similar to TSB 80-15-04 on earlier models. Vw does not have a TSB or campaign to address.

Timing chain skipped. 82,000 miles on the car. When it was stationary it would not start.
