Defect. VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012, CC VEHICLES, FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLES SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)." THE FACTORY INSTALLED WHEELS AND TIRES WERE REPLACED AT THE PORT WITH ACCESSORY WHEELS AND TIRES THAT WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER TPMS SENSORS.

Risk. WITH THE INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, DRIVERS WILL RECEIVE A CONSTANT WARNING FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM ALERTS THE DRIVER BUT, DUE TO INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, THE SYSTEM CANNOT DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. THIS INCREASES THE RISK THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE DRIVEN WITH ONE OR MORE UNDERINFLATED TIRES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE THAT MAY LEAD TO A CRASH.

Remedy. VOLKSWAGEN WILL REPLACE THE TPMS SENSORS WITH THE PROPER SENSORS TO MAKE THE TPMS SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLES COMPLIANT WITH FMVSS 138. AS OF JUNE 1, 2011, VOLKSWAGEN HAS CONTACTED ALL AFFECTED CUSTOMERS TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN AT 1-800-822-8987.

The tire pressure light continues to alert never going away and tire store says it's a sensor but it's causing my tires to get worn quicker and have had 2 blowouts I have tried to get this resolved and repaired by Volkswagen but the customer service employee said I was crazy because they have never had 1 recall on my vehicle and that she was going to report my VIN number for illegal reporting of recalls to have repairs that I want free of charge then proceeded to tell me my kind are liars, stealing from Americans and needed to be taken to my country and I would be in trouble for calling them falsely reporting repairs needed to gain free mechanic repairs so I would not have to come out of pocket.

I was driving on the highway and out of no where it threw its self into neutral and the gear indicator was flashing with a wrench and it can move for like 5 mins then does it again was told the whole MECHtrnical in the transmission

Well first off there was a recall on my year make and model but I guess it only lasted like a couple years .so twice already my fuel pump. Has needed to be replaced.which is what the recall was for .so I was driving In the fast lane on the freeway when out of nowhere my car just stalled putting me and my passenger in risk of being rammed from behind .I've had to take it too a mechanic two or three times so they can fix the same thing . I have the invoice from the repairs . Also I can be driving and the emergency brake will just engage by itself not having been touched by anyone or anything. It puts me and my passenger at risk for whiplash due to the fact that it engages when I'm driving .no warning lite come on I've just felt the jolt almost causing me to hit my head on the windshield. Please help .thank you Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed and it will lose power. It bumps and jolts to life. My RPM shoots up and and down. It lags to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate it suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately.

I'm part of a class action lawsuit where I was denied after sending all of the pertinent information the attorney's requested. I have all documentation of the correspondence which was requested with contact information to the Volkswagen company and other recipients. The class action is "Engine Water Pump Settlement". The water pump was faulty in this vehicle and many others of this model. It was deemed a safety concern by the federal government of the United States. This has been in progress since 2019.

I have a VW CC 2012 --Vin [XXX]-- I have 87K and since 40K , I am going on my 3rd fuel pump, I only put in Premium gas with a fuel injector cleaner every 6K miles, I am not sure if this warrants investigation but I am putting this out there in case there are similar cars in this class/model.

Problem with Vapor Canister. Car won’t fill gas and smells like gas from cabin.

The Power Steering keeps failing while driving. It is available for inspection, ASAP. This is a very dangerous hazard to lose the ability to steer the vehicle at any speed. I have not taken to my mechanic, yet. I have read all sorts of problems with steering since the Takata Air Bag Replacement Recall. Ever since the AirBag Replacement, many of my warning lights have been illuminated. The Dealer told me it is due to the Sensors on my Tires. I see they were previously recalled and now I have a problem with them, too. Right before the Steering Fails, I hear a gone and the Red Steering Wheel Light illuminates. I am then forced to slowly get off the road, barely able to turn the wheel, turn off the vehicle and re-start the engine to get the Power Steering to Re-Set itself. It is happening more and more often. Just went to Doctor appt Friday and it happened five (5) times going to and from Doctor (14 mile round trip). I see Dealers are telling people it is a Clock Spring and they are charing up to $ 6,800. to repair. My car only has 56,000. miles on it !!!

I got this car like 2 months and I had nothing but problems...the check engine light has been on since I bought the car the tire message has been on since I got the car now since this last week I have a red flashing oil. Light come on and it says low oil pressure turn engine off and check the manual something like that. Plus about a month ago I took it to vw dealer ship they fix the exhaust manifold supposedly it was under warranty or something like that so I didnt have to pay and the 2 fuel injectors they replaced also and I cant get my other 2 fuel injectors replaced untill they go out..and I guess that's why I get a light that flashes ECP when I'm driving also...so after all that I still have problems maybe even worse now with the low pressure meaning fuel pump is going out maybe I'm not sure.i do not have anymore money to keep fixing this car I bought like 2 months ago from vison motor sports in tulsa ok...they really screwed me and this is my first car I bought and that I have ever owned....help please thank you..

Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed loses power. Lags to accelerate when gas pedal is pressed then suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately. Vehicle will restart lights wil eventually go off until the next failure.

REAR TAIL LIGHTING AND TRUCK LATCH FAIL TO OPERATE CAUSING HIGH POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS, ALL 2009 TO 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC MODELS HAVE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ISSUE. THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE TRUNK IS OF POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY CAUSING WIRES TO BREAK AND CREATE OPEN SHOTS RESULTING IN NO TAIL LAMP LIGHTING.

THEY REFUSED TO CHANGE THE TAKATA AIRBAG I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT CONNECT THEIR EQUIPMENT . I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR THEM TO DO DIAGNOSTICS ON MY CAR. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN CHECK THE PROBLEM WITHOUT PAYING. I TOLD THEM THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD ANY REPAIRS AND THIS WAS A RECALL. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR WITHOUT PAYING. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE SAME AIRBAG. I CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS SO THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS AIRBAG SITUATION. I ALREADY CALLED THE VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA AND THEY ARE NO HELP. IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED IT.

DRIVING A 2012 VW CC WITH 57,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING TRUCK. ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND MID PASS THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WITH ECR LIGHT ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. PULLED OVER SAFELY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE.

RESEARCHING I FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T23523_DS493841. THIS LINK EXPRESSES THE OPINIONS OF MANY DRIVERS OVER THE YEARS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND HOW UNSAFE AND DIFFICULT TO IS TO RESOLVE WITH MANY FOLKS EXPERIENCING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND NEVER FINDING A REMEDY. I AM WORRIED AND SHOCKED THAT THE CAR ENGINE CAN BE TURNED OFF BY A COMPUTER WITH NO BYPASS FOR THE DRIVER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT GRAY COLORED EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE 2.0T TSI ENGINE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH WILL FAIL AND CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK CAUSING IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE PUTTING THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER AND DIFFICULTY STEERING. I AM EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ACTING FUNNY AND EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO ME HOW THE TIMING CHAIN COULD CAUSE THAT MUCH DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN CREATED WITH A FAULTY DESIGN, SO NOW I'M EXPECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE A FAULTY ENGINE WITH ANOTHER FAULTY ENGINE. IT'S EXTREMELY UPSETTING THAT AFTER I SENT MY VEHICLE IN FOR ISSUES WITH A RECALL, FUEL PUMP, THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SELF DESTRUCT LIKE THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND LOST POWER. ALSO, THE EPC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS HAD OVER TWO YEARS OF UNRESOLVED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WHAT IT WAS THERE FOR NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM BUT OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND THATS THE PROBLEM. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT REPAIR ONLY TO BRING IT BACK FOR THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. THIS IS THE PATTERN WITH THE ENGINE LEAKING OIL AND THE LEAK NEVER FOUND TO THE CAR NOT GOING ABOVE 10 MPH. WTHIN THE LAST 5 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF NO POWER AND RATTLING SHAKING TRANSMISSION. THREE TO FOUR WEEKS AT A TIME. IN THE PAST THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE A WEEK FOR THE OIL TO BE CHECK AND FILLED TO SPECS . ALSO WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS BEEN WORKED ON BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN UP BY A TECHNICIAN BEING CARELESS IN MAKING A REPAIR. IN REPAIR ORDERS I HAVE THE MAJOR WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE.IN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND VOLKSWAGEN THE ONLY THING THATS BEING SAID THAT THE CAR IS TOO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY. THE ISSUE THAT GENERATES THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR AND IT NEEDS A ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND WANTS BETWEEN $8,000-$11,000. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE CARRYING THE BURDEN OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF THE CARS IN QUESTION (WHICH IS THE VOLKSWAGEN 2012 CC). ALL OF THE

STALLING, AND WILL START AND STALL - EPC LIGHT ON DASH

TAKATA RECALI I ASKED BOARDWALK VOLKSWAGEN(1 BAIR ISLAND RD, REDWOOD CITY, CA 94063) TO HELP ME TO ADDRESS TAKATA RECALL. HOWEVER, THEY JUST SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE RELATED PARTS, AND DO NOT RESPONSE ME AGAIN. IT SEEMS THAT THEY WON'T HELP TO ADDRESS THE TAKATA RECALL, WHICH IS A VERY SEVERE RECALL. I FEEL VERY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THEIR RESPONSES.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I CAME CLOSE TO GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO USE MY HORN. MY HORN AND CONTROLS NOT WORK DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING HARNESS. THE VW CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE FIX DUE TO MY AIRBAG LIGHT NOT BEING ON YET. MY HORN NOT WORKING ALONE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO SEE IT THAT WAY.

MY 2012 VW CC IS IN THE SHOP AS I WRITE THIS AS IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN/TENSIONER. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MY ENGINE HAD CATASTROPHIC FAILURE LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS VW HAS ACKNOWLEDGED. MY MODEL IS LISTED ON THE RELATED VW SETTLEMENT SITE AS PART OF THE AFFECTED MODELS BUT YET MY VIN HAS BEEN APPARENTLY LEFT OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT SO I HAVE TO PAY ON MY OWN. NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY CAR IS BEING EXCLUDED WHEN IT HAS THE PROBLEM PARTS VW HAS CONCEDED TO. I THINK VW DELIBERATELY TAMPERED WITH THE NUMBERS OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED TO CUT DOWN ON SETTLEMENT COSTS

SAFETY RECALL 20AE SUBMITTED REPAIR RECEIPT TO GET THE REIMBURSEMENT IN JUNE, 2018 BUT I DIDN'T GET IT YET. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON NOV 5, 2018 AND THEY SAID THEY RECEIVED MY REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM AND WILL REACH TO ME WITHIN 14 DAYS. BUT, THEY DIDN'T.

THE CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS QUITE AS IT SHOULD BE THEN IT STARTED IT TO MISFIRING AND START TO SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE DEALER, THEY BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I SHOULDN'T BE STARTING THE CAR UNTIL I GET IT FIXED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WILL OCCUR ON A CAR THAT HAS A LOW MILEAGE LIKE MINE.

HOOD LATCH PREVENTS HOOD FROM OPENING. VW KNOWS THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT A CHARGE OF $250 INCLUDING THE PART. THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS A ERROR LIGHT GLOWING WHEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE WARNING SYSTEM SHOWS VARIOUS PARTS AS MALFUNCTRONING BUT APPEARS THE DIAGNOSTIC MODULE IS AT FAULT.
