Are there any common issues with the Volkswagen Passat?

I am considering buying a Volkswagen Passat, but I have heard that they may have some issues. Can anyone confirm and advise if this is something I should be concerned about?

I have owned a Volkswagen Passat for 5 years and have not experienced any major issues. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to keeping the car running smoothly.

I have had multiple issues with my Volkswagen Passat, including engine problems and electrical malfunctions. It has become quite costly to maintain and I regret my purchase.

In my experience, the Volkswagen Passat is a reliable car. However, like any vehicle, it is important to keep up with regular maintenance and be aware of any recalls or common issues.
