| I have had my 2001 vw passat for 7 years now and have had it in the shop multiple issues including warped rotors (front and back), cracked chasse, electrical issues and various other problems. before having this car, i had a toyota for 8 years and in the 8 years i had the toyota, i only had it in the shop for routine maintenance. this car is disappointing and everyone i talk to who has a similar model/year says the same thing. i think the 2001 vw passat is a lemon. *tr | |||
