I have a 2007 VW Passat. A friend recently told me the newer passats are having serious engine problems and I should trade my asap. What do you think?

Dear Gretchen,
Thank you for visiting AskPatty.com. VW has had quality issues throughout the years, but I have not seen anything specific regarding the engine. They have had some electronic issues on the new Passat. The car is still under warranty so if there are engine issues your warranty should handle those. You may consider selling prior to the warranty expiring or invest in an extended factory warranty.
Sincerely,
