2018 VW passat is a bag full of Lemon garbage! This is the first VW we owned, it will also be the last! $7,000.00 plus repair bill if we have it fixed. We always owned Nissans and never had problems like these. Do not waste your money on a VW!!! It took the dealership over a month to find the issue. Because if the machine can't tell them what the problem is then they are clueless... call themselves mechanics... what a pathetic joke!

Make sure it has no computer problems and definitely get the warranty because you will need it! Definitely the worse car I have ever bought. Nothing but issues. You fix one and another goes wrong. Not worth the hassle just get something else!
