Description of the problem	Electrical problems from day one - constantly a new light on that never stayed on. Driver's airbag issue that vw says is an electrical problem under the driver's seat - a few hundred dollars to fix a few months ago, the check engine light came on and vw charged us to run a diagnostic test that came back with 12 failure codes, the two most severe being intake runner motor and high pressure pump. Then, not long after, the car literally shut down on the highway and we could hardly get to the side of the road (mind you no prior warning lights were present). The only one that came on for a split second was the epc (electronic power control) light before the car shut off. The vehicle had to be towed to vw dealer who after investigating the problem, said that the engine was shot. And, i almost forgot to mention that the air hasn't worked for 2 summers. Vw claims that this is because a bad compressor was put in the passats. $1800 to fix. These issues are completely unacceptable and we don't think any of the above problems should be our responsibility to pay. Vw needs to step up and take responsibility for their faulty engineering.
