Volkswagen Passat

"the backup camera does not always come on. I will back out of a parking spot and the camera will be on, then I will drive to my location and put the car in reverse but the camera won't come on. I then have to put the car in park, turn the car off and then turn the car back on in order to reboot the camera. This should not happen"

"Has not been resolved"

"The radio display screen including all functions froze and the radio was able to operate only the function it started with before the freeze. This was a recurrent issue which the dealer resolved by replacing the entire head unit"

"Intermittent issue. I have to shut the car off to reset it."

"Complete failure of the MIB2 unit about 3,000 miles out of warranty, cycles off then on every 2 min 57 seconds. VW can not tell us what software version came with the unit nor what the current version is. Want $1,400 + labor to replace the unit."

"the unit goes blank and whole radio system re-boots. some times the indicator of the car starts going around in circles and shows the car going the wrong direction, pull out the sims card and reinstall and its works ok. the worst system i have ever experienced"

"Navigation didn't know where it was. Dealer had to replace the whole head unit."

"The entire system would reboot itself after 52 seconds. This happened for 3 months, then fixed itself. Have had two occurrences since then where the system stopped working, but turning off the vehicle resolved the issue."

"AM radio has problem with signal overload causing severe audio distortion. My guess is the automatic gain control (AGC) loop is malfunctioning. (I'm an electronic guy). Have yet to take it in to have Radio swapped."

"Left front speaker buzzing"

"There was something loose inside the passenger door that clunked when driving over any bump. It took 2 times for the dealer to solve, but they fixed it"

"Rattle in ceiling liner that has never been resolved."

"Rattle in front passenger side door. It was fixed under warranty. It was an extra clip from factory."

"This Front Assist is part of the overall Autonomous Emergency Braking system and the problems with it are explained in the previous question!"

"The Autonomous Automatic Braking (Front Assist) does not work at speeds over 18 mph. This is suppose to be a two part system . The low speed part operates below 18 mph, and the high speed is suppose to work at speeds above 18 mph and up to highway speeds. Tests by IIHS have shown that out of 20 different manufacturers model cars tested, the 2017 VW Passat was the only car that could not slow down its speed going 25 mph into the back of the dummy test vehicle. I and many others have complained of this failure, and VW has repeatedly denied that a problem exists. The 2017 owners manual clearly defines how the AEB system should work, but it does not work on any 2017 Passats. Now in 2018 VW has changed the feature to say it is only good at 18 mph and below. However, VW will not acknowledge that there is a problem with the AEB system on 2017 cars. It is also possible that the same problem may be in the Golf model as well. Problem is that because it does function at slow speeds, and there is no safe way a consumer can test the high speed operation, people are driving thousands of VW Passats, and possibly Golfs, with a false sense of security. VW should acknowledge that high speed AEB (Front Assist) does not perform as advertised, warn Passat owners, and compensate existing owners!"
