problem #2

Passat Sport 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles

A/C compressor seized up, and would not cool at all. Since the compressor was for a European car, it was very expensive... about $400 more than a Chevy counterpart.

Passat 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,000 miles

Spring 2013 a/c quit working. Took it to dealer who charged an arm & leg to charge the system. a/c quit working again in Sept 2013. Took it to dealer again and now they say the a/c compressor is bad and will cost approx $1300 to replace. 55,000 miles. Really?! This is just one in a long list of very expensive problems with this car. $600 to replace headlight bulb... $650 to replace passenger airbag at 62,000 miles. Nothing is ever covered under warranty and never is there a recall notice unless it's to replace a fuse.
