Problems with 2004 Volkswagen Passat EQUIPMENT

I own 2004 passat and recently have had transmission problems. my biggest concern is that on freeway transmission became unresponsive,and almost got me wiped out by two trailer truck going about 60! i was told to repair it would be 1200.00 to 3000.00 dollars. but for volkswagen to know of problem and refuse to fix is outrageous and you people need to do something before injury;s or more happen! is there someone i can contact to get help,i cannot afford that,and vw needs to repair if they are knowledgeable about it!! *tr

The low-beam portion of my headlight bulbs on my 2004 vw beetle convertible seem to last only about six months. i've become an expert at replacing them. i drive three miles to work, so the lights are not lit an extraordinary number of hours/miles. *tr

This incident happened twice in december 2009. after lifting my foot off of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle kept accelerating to very high speeds. the vehicle did not stop accelerating when i put my foot under the accelerator pedal and lifted up. to stop, i had to put the vehicle in neutral and brake. dealer said it was a stuck floor mat and removed the mat from the vehicle. they said there was no mechanical defect. *tw

2004 vw passat 4 sedan rear cigarette lighter and ash tray are not safely and functional installed well. have the tendency to keep coming apart entirely exposing electrical wires leading to burn and electrical shock or popping or burning of wires. have had the problem repaired on multiple occasions by dealer as well as by myself to further prevent the mishap since out of warranty. my children bump the cigarette lighter and it caused sparks and burning smell. i was able to repair the enclosure again for the 13th or so time and since it's not under warranty it's not covered. children sit in the rear more than adults but there has been time where the adults have causd the same issue. it's that my 9 yr old son try to repair or put back in where the entire enclosure fell out again. *tr

Incident description = 2004 vw passat had been previously report several fuel consumptions problems at hoy fox vw and gas ended up leaking out of fuel tank and cause a spill in my garage and drive. hazard was inhalation gas in a closed in area caused head aches/ nausea/dizziness/ for my family and i i have had mutiple problems with vehicle since then has broke down on me twice in less than 1 day's time. on 01 sep 08 my wife noticed and oil spot in driveway after i left to go out of town granted we have brand new home and the vw was only vehicle parked in that spot she could reach me because no service with my cell phone but i ended up broke down outside big spring ,tx the care was sluggish and leaking oil this time and on 03 sep08 in /texarkana after being in shop allday 2sep08 it broke down for a previous condition with ignition coils. hoy foxvw not admitting that may have put the new oil filter to tight to cause to breakdown after having the oil change on 28aug08/29aug08 for other neglected maintenance. please look into this matter i'm sure it's not just my vehicle they trying to assume because it just had went out warranty. the engine oil cooler was damaged and bursted when put on at hoy-fox vw by a vw technician after putting the oil filter on entirely to tight. leaked in yard and i was not aware of it and the spilled out all over the ground at a high temperature vehicle (overheated) which make it hard for me stop while drive because of the slickness of mixture between the coolant and oil. almost ran off the road but ended up shifting to neutral and letting coast over to median. *tr

I have a 2004 vw passat 4motion 1.8 turbo. i have just recently (within the last month) replaced the #2 coil. now today either another coil is gone or the same one. i haven't gotten it to my mechanic yet to determine which one is bad. but after talking to him he related to me that he has replaced several # 2 coils this year on this make of vehicle.. so i am just guessing that this is the problem this time around. my vehicle has 52,000 miles on it. it wasn't the #2 coil it was the #1 coil. i am getting really disgusted with this car as far as reliability is concerned. i am planning on a trip to florida in the fall and am wondering if i should take a case of coils with me. i was at the dealers the first time this happened & asked about recalls on this item. they said they didn't have any.. i thought it a bit odd because my mechanic told me he has had several come through this year with bad coils. *tr
