2005 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
"Do not purchase a VW Passat ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition coil failure 4 times.
N80 valve 1 time.
Oil pressure stop engine 4 times.
VW has recalled the 2004 Passat, but will not service a 2005 Passat after the 50,000 mile warranty. The problem is never resolved during the warranty.
General comments?
It is a lemon, and should be fixed with a new engine, or traded in for a fair value.
