Description of the problem	For the last 4 years, i've been dealing with major mechanical and non-mechanical issues with my volkswagen (vw) passat 2009, which i bought brand new in 2008. Vw's mechanics found that my car had defective parts in it, which were there from the time i bought it. I have had so many problems with the car that i don't trust it, even though vw's mechanics said they've either fixed or replaced the bad parts, but each time i've taken it in for repairs in the past, i've had the same parts repaired or replaced over and over. A summary of these issues: - rear side window sunscreen hook - replaced due to falling out ? Year 2009 - rear windshield sunscreen - replaced because it had broken ? Year 2011 - engine fault - car died and running roughly ever since ? Year 2011 - engine light coming on 4 times ? Years 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014 - driver? S door lock - had stopped locking ? Year 2012 - engine cover - screws fell out of the rear of engine cover ? Year 2012 - 2 water pumps - replaced due to coolant draining completely out of the reservoir ? Years 2012 & 2013 - knob to adjust side mirrors came off and now unable to adjust side mirrors ? Year 2013 i have paid nearly $40,000 to date on this defective vehicle and vw doesn't seem to care how many times i've been put in harms way and inconvenienced. I also have relatives and associates who've had problems with their similar model vws too, so i know i can't be the only one who has had these mechanical issues with a vw in the us. I feel there should be an investigation into vw corp. Of some sort by government officials to uncover the defective construction of my car and others, so all of us who've suffered through this will be redeemed in some way and future consumers will be safer by vw improving their vehicles' construction.
