I’ve had the car maybe a year now maybe a little more. I’ve had electrical issues since week one. First the rear windows would go up close then go back down on their own. Then on the highway the car lost power and went into limp mode. Holding 40 mph for no reason. I had to pull over I shut it off and let the car reset. Started again and she was fine. Then did it again. No check engine lights nothing just falling on its face. Dash lights flickering and now today I lost all dash and touch screen. Just black no gauges pulled over and lo and behold fine again. The touch screen seems to always crash, back up cam goes out then is fine, then the touchscreen goes into this like pixelated screen of a mess. Absolutely horrid and don’t feel safe driving it.

Remote start doesn’t work, no current solutions to fix it, navigation system goes dark, very loud ride, you need the music 1/2 way to max in order to drown out the road noise, skip this car folks, it's a lemon

Comfortable but dangerous

The 2019 Passat is comfortable and rides OK, but you never know what to expect when you accelerate from a stop. When you press on the gas pedal it will either lunge forward and slow, rev up to 5K RPM's in each of the first two gears as it creeps across and intersection, or just sort of noisily rears back and takes off. If you like dangerous surprises when you take off, this drive train is for you. Check this out before you buy or lease.

For a car with a $ 33000 msrp it rides like a cheaper car. Transmission shifts erratically and has many features that are very complicated!
