| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Complaint involves an engine failure i had on my 2007 volkswagen passat wagon 3.6l. the problem stems from a faulty "oil pump bolt/cam bolt" . this problem has been cited with numerous 3.6l vw owners and more information can be found on the vw sponsored vwvortex website. i am filing this complaint because of the potential for fire or personal injury. vw needs to recall these vehicles and replace the faulty bolt before owners warranties expire resulting in costly repairs (to repair this problem the engine needs to be removed). http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3193697 http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3448589 thank you for your attention to this matter. *jb |
