Problems with 2002 Volkswagen Passat ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The engine light illuminated, and idled rough, the problem was determined to be a defective ignition coil. *ts *jb

Consumer states the ignition coil is busted,the check engine light stays on and the vehicle makes a loud noise. ts

I purchased my 2002 volks passat gls. i have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. my radio quit, i had the speakers replaced twice, i had the heater blower motor replaced, i had the ignition coils replaced 3 times (recall), wv campaign (recall), sludge in the engine (recall), the right wheel tire hull reinforced (recall). i have talked with volkswagen corporate office and have an active complaint number. their customer service is terrible both at the corporate and dealer level. the volkswagen dealer in auburn, wa is inept and has put the wrong oil in the my car 2 times. i would like volkwagen to buy-back my car or give me a life-time warranty on the car. any ideas? there have been too many incidents to list just one. it has been an ongoing problem.*ak

Fire in engine compartment (approximately 2"-3" high 6"-12" inches wide) no action taken by factory after 10 days of having the car in the dealer. we bought the car with 14 miles on it and it was on fire within 59 miles on it and factory & dealer told me nothing is wrong with the car and told me to drive it home. after my persistance that fire does not just starts on it's own and problem needs to be identified, dealer now after 10 days is trying to identify the problem mean while i purchased the most expensive car volks wagen sells in u.s.a. and only had it for less than 20 hours. because of the instant problem and their less than interested to address the problem i asked for my trade in back and recind the deal, also i asked for new car and both the dealer & factory representative told me no! now after tech. finally taking car for a 15-20 min. test drive( i've been told) they realized smell and dripping of substance (what i was told by service manager) still no new car and no reselotion. please let me know what i can do.*ak
