Owner Complaints (3)
Your Passat stalls unexpectedly while driving at low speeds or from a stop, and the battery warning light comes on as engine power cuts out completely. The car won't restart for 10 minutes to 2 hours, though the starter still tries to turn the engine over—this happened dangerously on the highway when merging. Your VW dealer has replaced the oxygen sensor and camshaft position sensor without fixing the problem, and no fault codes have been recorded. The issue may require further electrical or fuel system diagnostics to identify the root cause.

I notice that the “turbo” cuts in and out when it wants to . That’s known as a. Turbo lag. As for my brakes , my rotors have grooves on them and when braking it shakes my steering wheel, scared that I’ll lose control of wheel so I have to pump my breaks to avoid costs of accident. And my air bag light is on , on the dash so my guess would be that the airbags don’t work .
