2007 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
"Bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought a 2007 Passat less than a month ago, and these are the problem I am experiencing:
Unable to release key from ignition. Had to take the car in the second day after I purchased the car. The dealer fixed it at no cost to me.
Unloading grocery from trunk, I barely pulled on the emergency latch that is supposed to release the trunk in the event you are locked in the trunk. The trunk lid now is in the upright position. VW does not cover this. It is a very bad design.
I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time at the dealership. I would not recommend this car to anyone, unless you enjoyed being tortured.
The VW customer service and dealership sucks.
