NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2014 Volkswagen Passat. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
When outside temperature freezes, so does driver door. Will not open from outside or inside. After a few hours driving, it eventually worked. But next day, same thing.
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the airbag warning light illuminated the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the clockspring was defective. The mechanic then called the dealer and was provided an estimate for the cost of a new clockspring. The contact then took the vehicle to a second independent mechanic who informed him of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V483000 (Air Bags) and referred him to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that his vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Vehicle engine abruptly stopped running on roadway. No prior symptoms. Would not restart although starter properly engaged. MIL light did not illuminate prior to stoppage. BlueDriver device showed no stored codes. Tow required. VW dealer service department was backed up and stated they could not even begin diagnosis for 2 to 3 weeks. Independent service technician diagnosed problem as failure of fuel pump control module and replaced the module.
heater core getting clogged again, after multiple replacements, vwgoa will not perform recall because of other not related recall not performed. when heater core gets clogged three things happen, passenger side stops producing heat, windshield defrost does not operate correctly, and coolant lost due to evaporating and or leak into intercooler that can lead to engine damage
My clock spring went out in December 2021. VW dealership acknowledged the problem and told me the repairs/part are covered under recall/extended warranty, but VW has a back order on the part. Meanwhile, I am without a drivers side airbag AND a working horn almost 6 months later. I can’t even honk the horn to alert someone and prevent an accident. VW could use aftermarket parts (aftermarket parts may work better), but they have refused. I am stuck with no airbag or horn AND I can’t even trade the car in (except at the VW dealership) because it doesn’t have a working airbag. Super frustrated with Volkswagen!!
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10-15 MPH and pulling out of a parking lot, the airbag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she continued to drive the vehicle and noticed that the horn and the buttons on the steering wheel would fail to respond when engaged. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
On Saturday October 30, 2021 my car was parked on the driveway. I tried to put the key in the ignition and the key would not go in. There is a white plastic piece in the ignition that will not allow the key to go in. My steering wheel and front tires locked. I called AAA and had a tow truck come so that I could have the car towed to the dealership. The driver was able to wiggle the key and start the car. I dropped off the car at the dealership on Saturday Oct 30th. I was told by the dealership that the key cylinder and steering wheel lock housing plus keys need to be replaced. I contacted VW of America and was told that they will not replace the part because the car is out of warranty. This is obviously a defect as there have been many recalls with this part in different model VW's. The dealership is trying to charge me $934.03 for this repair which I believe is a defect. Service advisor at Volkswagen stated that it is not safe to drive the car as it could leave me stranded. There were no warning lights or other symptoms prior to failure on Saturday October 30, 2021.
Dual Mass Flywheel Failure
A faulty clockspring in the steering wheel failed so the driver air bag and the horn do not work. The car can’t pass a safety inspection. This is a faulty part that the NHTSA issued a recall for some years back (I believe in 2015). The replacement part has been back order for upwards of 9 months for 1000s of VWs in the US. If the cars cannot pass a state safety inspection there should be a safety recall issued immediately.
After having parked the car long enough to eat dinner out, I pulled out onto the main street and the car engine showed clear signs of distress, sputtering, missing and ultimately going into what seemed to be limp mode. I was able to pull off the main lanes before the car died and would not re-engage after three attempts to restart. On the third attempt, the car stopped attempting to crank and the dash lights all began to blink until the only extra light that was left was the coil (glow plug indicator). We were left stranded in the street for a while until we could safely exit to push it out of the road and to a safe place. I later had the car towed to my mechanic where the issues were accessed and diagnosed. The causation of the failure is a combination of the first fuel pump failing and disintegrating then dispersing medal shards throughout the fuel system and ruining it entirety. I have never had any indicators or issues with this vehicle. There were no prior warnings or problems with the car. I was very blind sided and stranded in the road then felt forced to put myself in harms way to get it pushed out of danger and prevent an accident with another vehicle.
A few years ago I had my clock spring replaced as part of a recall. It just gave out again.
The airbag not working after recall, the dealer says the clock spring is bad. Cant order a new one bc they have been on backorder for over 9 months now.
The contact owns 2014 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that puddles of oil could be found on the ground after parking the vehicle. The contact also stated that while making a turn in either direction the vehicle would wobble causing him to lose control of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the tread in the driver’s and passenger’s side front tires were wearing excessively. The contact stated that the front tires had been replaced multiple times; however, the failure persisted. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,103.
there is a TDI/AEM Emissions service action CODE: 23Z3 for this year TDI, that requires Dealer Software 'fix" , I have owned the car for a year now , with no contact from VW. Also, have read that there is a Recall on the Heater Cores getting clogged, and causing fogging windsheilds, driving hazard. And no contact from VW ?
None of the functions on the steering wheel of my 2014 VW Passat work. This includes the horn, the airbag and other functions on the steering wheel. This car is what my daughter uses for college. It puts her at risk and other drivers. She cannot beep the horn if someone is driving erratically, the air bag on the steering wheel does not work and sometimes the directionals do not work. This car will not pass inspection. VW has not put a recall out on this part and after doing some research, many VW's are affected by this issue. What makes matters worse, is that she had the same issue in 2018. She had to travel to a VW dealer almost 50 miles away from her college campus to have the clock spring replaced to the price of $646 dollars. Now it's 2021 and the same problem is occurring. What is the matter with VW where they will not take responsibility for their cars.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE HORN STOPPED WORKING.
1. Air bag clock spring (twice) 2. No horn, no airbag driver side safety issues. 3. Yes, twice confirmed by VW Dealer 4. No other inspections, just VW Dealer 5. No warnings of the issue until none of the controls were working - now an air bag light January 29, 2020 - 82227 miles, no air bag, no horn, no steering wheel controls. brought to dealer - says there is a known issue with the clock spring and replaced it no charge. August 11, 2021, 123221 miles, no air bag, no horn, no steering wheel controls. brought to dealer - says not covered. the first clock spring lasted 80,000, the second one even more faulty - lasted barely 40000.
Clock spring failure after recall.
My gas tank is leaking gas out of the top onto the ground and fumes are coming into the cabin.
THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE A SLOW OIL LEAK APPARENTLY ON THE RIGHT REAR OF THE ENGINE. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED AT VW AND WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WITHOUT RESOLUTION OR FINDING THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. THERE IS NO OIL EVER ON THE GROUND. THE CAR IS NOT BURNING OIL.
I turned on my car and turned the wheel to leave my parking as I normally do every morning. I heard a crack and the steering wheel was not moving normally. Then there was an air bag error message as well as the horn and wheel button controls stopped working. I looked it up online and saw that there was a previous recall on this issue with this type of model. Though no current recalls came up. It has been an issue with VW Passats and it’s very unsafe. Never have had any issues like this happen in other cars. I had barely turned the wheel when this happened.
MY 2014 VW PASSAT TURBO HAS AN ISSUE WITH NO HORN, NOTHING ON STEERING WHEEL WORKS AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THE DASH. THE LOCAL VW DEALSHIP MOSES VW OF BARBROURSVILLE, WV TOLD ME THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AT THIS TIME BC THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACED. VW REPS TOLD ME IT IS NOT A RECALL JUST AN EXTENTION OF WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 131,000 OF COURSE. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND WAS ALMOST IN A BAD WRECK BC SHE HAD NO HORN AND THE BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHICH IS VERY SCARY. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? I HAVE AN APPT TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT MOSES BUT I WANT THIS CHANGED TO A RECALL. IT IS A COMPLETE SAFETY ISSUE. I HOLD A MASTERS DEGREE IN SAFETY MYSELF AND AM VERY CONCERNED NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR OTHERS. I LOVE THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE. ENTER MESSAGE

THE HEATING OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOW DEFROSTING SYSTEM NOT WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. VW HAS ALREADY RECALLED THE 2014 PASSAT WITH THE DIESEL ENGINE. GOING BACK HOME FROM TENNESSEE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 66 MPH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS NEGATIVE 9 THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED ICE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. WE HAD TO PULL OFF AT A EXIT AND SCRAPE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOW. WE CONTINUED ON ARE TRIP HOME AND HAD TO STOP ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE TO RISE UP AND THE SUN TO COME OUT. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WIDOW INSIDE WOULD NOT CLEAR UP AND HAD TO BE TOWEL DRIED ALL THE WAY HOME. TALKED TO VW OF AMERICA THERE COMMENT WAS THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. TALKED TO THE LOCAL VW DEALER AND THERE COMMENT WAS THAT THEY ARE REPLACING HEATER CORES ON OTHER YEARS OF THE PASSAT'S BUT NOT ARE YEAR YET. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND TRY TO GET VW OF AMERICA PAY FOR IT.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO IN ARIZONA. IT HAS ONLY EVER BEEN SERVICED BY VOLKWAGEN DEALERSHIPS. SINCE HAVING THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ITS TURBO REPAIRED, NEW FUEL LINES PUT IN, SEVERAL ELECTRONIC PARTS, AND FINALLY ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL FROM BOSTON TO PITTSBURGH, MY ENGINE STARTS SMOKING. AFTER THIS INCIDENT IT WENT TO 'MINUTEMAN VOLKSWAGEN' JUST OUTSIDE OF BOSTON, WHERE THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SHIPPED OUT OF POCKET TO A VOLKWAGEN DEALERSHIP IN PITTSBURGH WHERE A NEW ELECTRONICS UNIT WAS PUT IN. I WAS ASSURED AFTER THIS ELECTRONIC UNIT WAS INSTALLED, MY CAR WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL, AS THIS WAS NOT AN ENGINE ISSUE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY I RECEIVE A CALL INFORMING ME THAT THE ELECTRONICS UNIT WAS INSTALLED AND IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS, IN FACT, AN ENGINE ISSUE. I WAS IN SERIOUS DANGER AT THE TIME MY ENGINE STARTED SMOKING. MY FAMILY HAS FUNDS AND ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKE WHATEVER STEPS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. MY MOTHER DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2018 IN A CAR ADVERTISING EXCEPTIONAL SAFETY (JUST LIKE THIS ONE). IT HAS PROVIDED ME WITH THE OPPOSITE. I FEEL CONSTANTLY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE SMOKING ENGINE WAS THE TIPPING POINT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS ISSUE WILL BE ADDRESSED.
STEERING CLOCK SPRING WAS REPORTEDLY FIXED AS PART OF THE RECALL BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. HORN DOES NOT WORK. STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING. VW WILL NOT REPAIR THE RECALL WORK DONE WITHOUT CHARGE. SEATBELT TENSIONER IS ALSO NOW REPORTEDLY AFFECTED.
AS I WAS DRIVING ON SHIVER POND RD. IN CAMDEN, SC I NOTICE A POTHOLE WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO AVOID IT AT THE TIME BECAUSE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IMMEDIATELY THE TIRE WENT DOWN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CALL FOR HELP TO GET A SPARE ON. I HAD TO GO BUY ANOTHER TIRE FOR $90 FROM WALMART.*DT
MY AIRBAG SENSOR RANDOMLY APPEARED ONE DAY WHEN TURNING ON MY CAR
I TOOK MY CAR TO VOLKSWAGEN ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE COOLANT NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED DUE TO THE EPC LIGHT I SPENT 300 BUCKS AND A WEEK LATER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CLEANED TAKE THE GAS OUT AND PUT MORE GAS IN AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS WHICH IS ANOTHER 800 BUCKS THAT IS ALMOST 1000 WITHIN TWO WEEKS FOR A EPC LIGHT
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR CITY THOROUGHFARE WHEN IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, IN TRAFFIC. IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE STREET. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE FUEL PUMP AND CONTROL UNIT ARE DEFECTIVE AND MADE THE CAR INOPERABLE.
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2014 VW PASSAT TDI THAT WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND DUE TO THE FACT THESE VEHICLES HAVE SAT AROUND A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THEY EXTENDED CERTAIN OTHER PARTS WARRANTY. IN FEBRUARY I HAD THE HEATER CORE REPLACED TWICE. OVER THE SUMMER THERE WAS NO NEED FOR HEAT AND I JUST TURNED THE HEAT ON THIS MORNING AND THE VEHICLE IS BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. I AM LESS THAN 1000 MILES OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND VW REFUSES TO REPAIR. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE STARTED WELL WITHIN THE MILEAGE RESTRAINTS BUT DUE TO WARM WEATHER THERE WAS NO NEED FOR HEAT. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND DOCUMENTED AND VW SHOULD REPLACE. I WILL BE LEFT OUT IN THE COLD ALL WINTER
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE OIL LEVEL WAS SO LOW THAT NO OIL WAS SHOWING ON THE DIP STICK. DEALERSHIP ADDED 3.8 QUARTS ITS AND NOTED THEY SUSPECT BASED ON MY HISTORY OF TIMELY OIL CHANGES THAT THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE CAR IS STILL CONSUMING OIL AND NO INDICATOR LIGHT IS COMING ON.
CAR GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE GETTING UP TO 58 MPH AFTER PRESSING ON BRAKES LIGHTLY THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO FASTER AND FASTER. AS I WAS GETTING CLOSER TO AN INTERSECTION, THAT WAS RED, AND IN FEAR OF GETTING HIT CAUSE THE GAS WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN I SLAMMED ON BRAKES AND HOPED IT WOULD STOP THE CAR BUT THE CAR LOST CONTROL HIT A CURB AND HIT A FIRE HYDRANT IN THE FRONT MIDDLE OF CAR, THE CAR FLIPPED OVER AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION PRIOR TO ACCIDENT AND IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY THEN I TURNED ON A SIDE STREET GOING 58 MPH DUE TO GAS PEDAL BEING STUCK, I THEN LOST CONTROL OF CAR AFTER HITTING BRAKES TO MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN. ME AND MY FRIEND HAVE HEADACHE AND ARE SORE, I WENT TO IMMEDIATE CAR DUE TO CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS. I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE OR GET INTO CAR, I BECOME HYSTERICAL AND CAN'T STOP CRYING. MY FRIEND IS ALSO NOT GETTING CARS EITHER. SCARIEST THING EVER.
WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING NOISE. SHORTLY AFTER THE HORN OR CONTROLS ARE NOT WORKING AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON.
CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. CHARCOAL CANISTER IS JUNK COMING FROM VW. THEY KNOW IT, AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, AND VW NEEDS TO PAY FOR IT.
WHILE AT IDLE THE TIMING CHAIN MAKES A RATTLING NOISE. I HAD THE TIMIING CHAIN , GUIDES, AND TENTIONER REPLACED, AND IT STILL MAKES THE SAME NOISE. THE VAREIBLE CAM TIMING IS NOW MAKING A NOISE.
While driving on a highway, I heard a mild noise under the hood and things went chaotic, the coolant temperature went high above nominal, the speedometer went crazy, the brakes weren't working, the steering got locked (Not able to move freely) and I literally felt dreadful, I was lucky enough that there were no vehicles front or back of me, otherwise it would have been a fatal incident. I managed to use my hand brakes to slow down and slightly move the vehicle to the shoulder. Oil was leaking underneath the engine at its first look. The vehicle then had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership inspected and confirmed that they found a hole in the engine block and they came back to me and mentioned the whole engine block and also the turbo has to be replaced. The vehicle was right after a fully recommended service from the dealership. no warning or other symptoms appearing.
WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE FOLLOWED BY AN AIRBAG ERROR ON THE DASH. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AND HORN NO LONGER WORK.
