Description of the problem	We purchased a 2009 vw passat brand new in 2009. Since then, we have had it worked on multiple times, all for the same problem! The car shows no warning sign, and all of a sudden it shakes, shuts off, and will not restart. This has happened while driving, as well as when parked and trying to start the car. This is all in regards to defect in the fuel pump system. The fuel pump has been replaced three times, along with fuel pressure sensor, intake manifold, batteries, you name it. This problem began at about 15,000 miles, and two of the repairs were still under warranty. Everytime we have brought it to the vw dealer, it has been the same exact issue. This is an extremely dangerous issue, i was lucky i was not driving on the interstate when this occurred. I am fearful of what could happen, this car is not safe. The issue has not been fixed, and i am unsure how this has not been recalled already. I have read reviews again and again on the same issue with the 2009 passat models, and other passat year models have had fuel system recalls as well. Whatever the underlying cause of this, whatever is causing the fuel pump to go bad, or if they are just junk, it is not safe and this issue needs to be investigated immediately. Vw will take it more seriously when a life is on the line. Still today, on 6/12/2013, thousands of dollars later, my 2009 vw passat is once again broke down, not starting, and the fuel pump once again, needs to be replaced. Clearly this is a manufacturer's defect. We bought a brand new car for the safety and reliability value, and this has by far been the most unreliable and dangerous vehicle i have ever owned in my life.
