The 2010 Volkswagen Passat carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volkswagen Passat is also known as Volkswagen Dasher, Volkswagen Quantum, Volkswagen Santana, Volkswagen Corsar, Volkswagen Magotan (China), Volkswagen Carat in markets outside Australia.
The technician is correct, there shouldn't be any shuddering, but it doesn't appear to be having any detrimental effect on the car in any other way. I would report your concerns to the dealer before the warranty runs out and ask for his advice on the problem.
These badges are usually held on with contact cement, so make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before fitting the new ones. I would suggest you contact VW direct and express your concern to them and request they supply and fit the badges you need at their cost. The cost is so small that I cannot believe VW or the dealer would not simply do it as a sign of good will.
The Volkswagen Passat 2010 prices range from $4,290 for the basic trim level Wagon 118 TSI to $12,980 for the top of the range Sedan 125 TDI Highline.
