Defect. VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MY 2009 CC VEHICLES. SOME AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECTLY ROUTED RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE WIRING HARNESS, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR WIRES TO BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED FULLY UP OR DOWN OR BACK AND FORTH. IF THIS WIRING DAMAGE OCCURS, THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE WILL SWITCH TO A FALLBACK ALGORITHM AND DEACTIVATE THE PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT AN OCCUPANT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKED AND SPLASHED FUEL AT ALL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WAS SOAKED WITH FUEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DREYER & REINBOLD VOLKSWAGEN (800-315-2288, LOCATED AT 1301 SOUTH US 31, STE 3, GREENWOOD, IN 46143) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

VW IS AWARE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THEIR CARS FOR VW/AUDI/PORSCHE WHERE THE TIMING CHAIN GIVES PREMATURELY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS A CIVIL LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN SETTLED BUT THE PAYOUTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISSEMINATED SINCE IT WAS SETTLED IN 2018. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN DUE TO THERE BEING A VAST NUMBER OF MAKES AND MODELS WITH THIS MANUFACTURER YET THEY HAVE YET TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS IN THEIR CALLS. I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY REIMBURSEMENT ON COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I WROTE INTO VW TO ADVISE THEM OF MY PROBLEM AND TO ONLY ASK THAT I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COSTS OF REPAIR, THEY RESPONDED WITH "SORRY, YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED." MY CAR WAS IN MOTION MANY TIMES WHILE I WAS ON LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL OR IN THE CITY AND IT STALLED ON ME TWO TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN BEFORE I FOUND OUT THE EXACT ISSUE WITH IT. THE LAST TIME I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN TRAFFIC GOING AT LEAST 50 MPH.

VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE STALL AND DRAINED BATTERY.

INTERIOR HEAD LINER CLOTH HAS COME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND OBSCURING LINE OF SIGHT THRU REAR WINDOW. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT IT IS 10 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 73K MILES ORIGINAL PURCHASER OWNER. WIFE PULLED IT FROM GARAGE AND AS SHE WAS BACKING THE HEADLINER CLOTH LET GO FROM ROOF MOLDING. I BELIEVE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THIS THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS HAVE TO BE BACKORDERED DUE TO DEMAND AND HAD STATED THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER BESIDE OURSELVES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE TOTAL COST IS LOOKING TO BE 2K. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS SO LARGE THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAS TO BE REMOVED TO INSTALL. I BELIEVE SUBSTANDARD ADHESIVES AND OTHER MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ITEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE BATTERY BECAME DRAINED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START.

THIS IS THE FIRST VW I'VE EVER OWNED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD LOVE IT. WELL, I'VE HAD IT FOR 2 DAY'S AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WON'T STAY AROUND LONG IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A MIN OR SO AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR DROVE LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE TWO SMALL BOYS AND THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING VW CAN FIGURE OUT AS TO WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE, AND SURELY THERE SHOULD BE A BYPASS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.
