2012 Volkswagen CC complaints

ENGINE IS TURNING OVER BUT ONLY STARTING OCCASIONALLY. WHEN IT DOES START, THE EPC AND CHECK ENGINE/CATALYTIC CONVERTER LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AFTER I HAD TO FIGURE OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...BEFORE THERE WAS A RECALLED ISSUED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. CAR RAN FINE EARLIER TODAY, THEN WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE MY HOUSE, TOOK AN EXTENDED TIME TO START. SHUT IT OFF TO SEE IF IT WAS A GLITCH, AND DIDN'T START AT ALL.

I EXPERIENCED A LEAK FROM THE WATER PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT HE ALWAYS SEES THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE VOLKSWAGENS BECAUSE VOLKSWAGEN USES PLASTIC PARTS AND THESE PARTS ARE OFTEN AROUND THE HIGHLY HEATED AREAS IN THE ENGINE THEREFORE THEY FAIL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HER SAFETY IF VW IS USING INADEQUATE PARTS IN THEIR CARS. ALSO, REPAIR COSTS ARE UNIMAGINABLE, $1000, ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PLASTIC PART. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TAIL LIGHT CASINGS BECAUSE IT TOO WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND THE TAIL LIGHT LAMP BURNED INTO THE PLASTIC AND CEASED TO LIGHT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS CAR IN FOR TWO DIFFERENT PARTS RECALLS, AIRBAG X 2, AND FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, EPC AND ENGINE WARINGING SIGNS WERE ON ALL OF SUDDEN. I CHECKED WITH LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN SOLVANG, CA. THEY SAID, THEY WANTED TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL AND CHECK. AFTER THEN, THEY SAID THERE WERE LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THEN ENGINE DIED. MY CAR TOWED TO NEARBY VW DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AN ENGINE.

MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND THEN I RECIEVED A LETTER SAYING IT HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. WELL WE THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT AS IT TURNS OUT NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. AFTER THEY FIXED THE PART MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE AND WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT.THIS COULD HAVE BE AVOIDED IF THEY WOULD HAVE NOT HAD THIS RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE UPHILL WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PARK AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK VERY LOUDLY BUT WOULD NEVER TURN OVER. I ASSUMED IT MIGHT BE THE OIL SO I CHANGED IT, FILLED IT WITH GAS SINCE IT WAS A BIT ON THE LOW SIDE, AND FINALLY HAD A NEIGHBOR CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH THEIRS IN CASE IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY. FROM FEAR THAT I MIGHT FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENGINE I WAITED A WHILE BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. WHEN I DID NOTHING HAD CHANGED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL A MECHANIC AND AFTER HIM HAVING NOT A CLUE WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM I RESORTED TO HAVING THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 HOURS AWAY IN SANTA MONICA, CA. ONE DAY LATER, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE VW DEALERSHIP INFORMING ME THAT MY TIMING CHAIN HAD UNEXPECTEDLY BROKEN AND FURTHER DAMAGED A FEW VALVES/PISTONS/ETC. WHEN I ASKED HOW IT MIGHT'VE HAPPENED THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR ME BUT INSTEAD TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME UPWARDS OF $5,000 TO EVEN BEGIN REPARATIONS. AFTER A BIT OF MY OWN RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT TIMING CHAINS SHOULD USUALLY LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND NEVER BREAK THAT SOON. I ALSO READ THAT VW HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY TIMING CHAINS AND THAT MY BEST BET WAS TO FILE SOME SORT OF COMPLAINT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF HAVING TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN CHECKED NOR WAS I WAS THAT SUCH AN INCIDENT COULD OCCUR. AS A WAY

TAKATA RECALL INITIAL RECALL NOTICE APRIL 2016. 2 YEARS 4 MONTHS LATER - STILL NO RESOLUTION ! ARE WE WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE CORRECTLY ?

MY LEFT TIRE BLEW OUT AND I HAD NO FLAT TIRE INDICATOR ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE TRAVELLING FULL SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. THE NEXT DAY MY ENGINE STALLED WITH NO WARNING OF LOW/NO OIL IN MY CAR. BOTH OF THE ISSUES COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY OR MULTIPLE FATALITIES WHEN A 2012 VW CC LUXURY JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE CALLED VW CORPORATE AND OF COURSE THEY STATED THEY CANNOT HELP ME SINCE THIS REPAIR IS NOT A RECALL ITEM: HOWEVER, I SEE TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2.0 ENGINE IN MY CAR MANUFACTURED BY VW. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY AND NOT IGNORED. VW NEEDS TO COVER MY ENGINE COST AT 100% THEY KNOW IT IS FAULTY AND TO COMPLETELY IGNORE ALL THE COMPLAINTS BEFORE MINE IS ASININE.

ON 25 JULY 2018, CURRAN VOLKSWAGEN, INC CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT NOW CAUSES AN INTERRUPTION IN POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE MAKING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AFTER 6 MONTHS OF TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL. WENT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS 47500 MILES AND ALL SERVICES ARE DONE AT SCHEDULED INTERVALS. WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOWER TIMING COVER & TENSIONER NEED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH UPPER TIMING COVER & CAM GIRDLE. COST IS OVER $2000. THIS SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE WITH THIS MANY MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE DEALER (NORTH PARK VOLKSWAGEN, 21315 INTERSTATE 10 WEST, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, 78257) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. I TOOK IT TO TWO VW SERVICES DEALERSHIP ONE SAID I WOULD CHARGE $1800 JUST TO OPEN UP AND LOOK THE OTHER TOLD ME IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN ENGINE LOST ALL COMPRESSIONS NEW ENGINE IS NEEDED. I JUST PAID THE CAR OFF . NO EXTREME LEAKS WOULD TO HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THERE ARE LAWSUITS ABOUT THIS MATTER. I CALLED VW HEADQUARTERS THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO SALVAGE THE DAMAGE

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN.

(1) FIRST OF ALL, I APOLOGIZE IF I DON'T DESCRIBE CLEARLY BECAUSE ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE. I WILL DO MY BEST. MY CAR IS 2012 VW CC. (2) RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL IN JUNE 2018 AND TRIED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, BUT STAFF AT VW AT AUTO PARK, CARY, NC RESPONDED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND NO ONE IN THEIR COMPANY KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. SHE ASKED US TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK. SO WHY DID THEY SEND ME A LETTER TO INCREASE MY ANXIETY FOR THE FUTURE DRIVING? THANKS TO NHTSA, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A RECALL ISSUED ON AUGUST 2017, BUT I RECEIVED THIS LETTER ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT VW COMPANY DOESN'T TAKE RECALLS SERIOUSLY AND ENDANGERS CUSTOMERS' LIVES. (3) I ALSO HAVE A RECALL FOR AIRBAG SHOWN ON THIS NHTSA. IN APRIL OF 2016, THEY SENT ME A RECALL LETTER. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE, JUST FOUND OUT THEY HAVE THE PARTS, BUT NEVER TRIED TO INFORM ME. NO FOLLOW UP SERVICE. (4) ONE INCIDENT THAT OCCURED TO ME IN MAY 2017, THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR WENT DEAD WHILE I WAS IN A PARK LOT. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT GO OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED FOR A MALFUNCTION AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT. MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO THE MANAGEMENT TO GET A DIRECT ANSWER OF THE DETAILS, BUT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY CONTACT PHONE NUMBER INCLUDING THE HEAD OFFICE OF VW. (5)IN CONCLUSION, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH VW AT AUTO PARK, CARY, NC. ESPECIALLY THE WAY THAT THE STAFFS REPRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (AUTOBAHN VOLKSWAGEN FORT WORTH, 2810 WHITE SETTLEMENT RD, FORT WORTH, TX 76107, (866) 480-0764) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V509: I HAD MY EPC DASH LIGHT FOR MY VEHICLE TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO MY JOB ON 6/14/18 . THE DRIVE WAS REALLY ROUGH AND BUMPY AND THE EXHAUST WAS FUMING WITH EMISSIONS FROM THE BACK.I EVENTUALLY GOT TO MY JOB, OFFED MY CAR AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC ON 6/18/18 WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS FAULTY. HE CHARGED ME $323.30 OUT THE DOOR FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND LABOR. I CONTACTED VW TO SEEK FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON 6/22/18 BUT WAS TOLD THERE IS A "PENDING RECALL" AND THAT IT HAS NOT BECOME ACTIVE YET SO THEY CANNOT ISSUE ME A REIMBURSEMENT UNTIL THEN. AS PER NHTSA THIS RECALL WAS KNOWN SINCE 8/16/17 AND IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARING A YEAR WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. I AM SEEKING TO GET MY AMOUNT REIMBURSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND HOPING THAT NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST IN THIS.

MY CAR ENGINE BROKE DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT GIVING ANY ENGINE LIGHT WARNING. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND SAID THAT IT DID NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE OIL IN IT AND BECAUSE OF WHICH TIMING BELT RIPPED OFF AND DAMAGED ALL THE PISTONS. THIS WAS VERY VERY UNEXPECTED BECAUSE IT DID NOT GIVE ME ANY ENGINE LIGHT ON. IF ENGINE OIL IS LOW IT SHOULD HAVE GIVEN A WARNING LIGHT TO CATCH MY ATTENTION. VERY FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED IN MY COMMUNITY AND DID NOT HAPPEN ON BUSY HIGHWAY WITH MY BABY ON BOARD. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING WITH BABY ON BOARD ON INTERSTATE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. HENDRICK VOLKSWAGEN OF CONCORD (7500 HENDRICK AUTO PLAZA NW, CONCORD, NC) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS MANUFACTURED FOR ANY DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TRIED TO START THE CAR AND THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAULTED CAUSING THE VALVES TO BREAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF PARKED ON A CITY STREET AND NOT IN MOTION.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING ON THE VOLKSWAGEN CC. INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING IN MY CAR, THERE WAS A TEMPORARY 'RUBBER BAMD' PLACED ON THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK BROKE AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I CANNOT USE ANY OF THE FUNCTIONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL AND IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

THE TRUNK STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH THE FOG LIGHTS AND REVERSE LIGHTS ON THE TRUNK. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN HAPPENING MANY CC AND IS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN IS FAULTY. HOPING THAT OTHER ARE REPORTING THE FLAW TOO.

TAKATA RECALL. ON A DAILY BASIS MY CAR LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND HAS EVEN HAPPENED WHILE TURNING. IT'S A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AS I HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY RESTARTING. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CAR PILE UPS BEHIND ME. VW STATED THEY ARE UNABLE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED AND STATED THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL MODULE. I AM NOT ABLE TO COVER THESE EXPENSES. THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF VW CORPORATE TO COVER AND FIX THIS RECALL.

MY CAR HAS LOST POWER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE HAD TO BUY SEVERAL NEW BATTERIES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE COMPLAINT #11097626. VW CASE #180469589. LETTER TO VW HEADQUARTERS: GOOD MORNING SHAYNA S., YESTERDAY I VISITED THE VW DEALERSHIP AND HAD EXTENSIVE WORK DONE ON MY CAR. AT WHICH TIME I BROUGHT UP THE RECALL OF OCTOBER 2017. THEY EXPLAINED THE RECALL OF OCTOBER 2017 FOR FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WILL NOT BE RESOLVED ANYTIME SOON. I EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND TO REQUEST A LOANER. THE MANAGER DENIED MY REQUEST FOR A LOANER. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. I WILL BE FORWARDING THIS LETTER TO THEM IN REGARD TO COMPLAINT NO. 11097629.

TAKATA RECALL. ALL VW SHOPS IN THE AREA CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX THIS CAR MEANING I HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR.

ON 4/16/18 I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH, I PULLED UP TO AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO, I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR DIED THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS STALLED. LUCKILY, TWO GENTLEMEN STOPPED AND PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY WHILE I WAS GETTING AHOLD OF MY HUSBAND. WHEN MY HUSBAND ARRIVED WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD AND TO HIS OFFICE (WHICH IS ABOUT A 1/2 MILE FROM WHERE I WAS). HOWEVER, WHEN HE WENT TO LEAVE LATER THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULDN'T NOT START BUT STILL HAD POWER TO EVERYTHING (RADIO, WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, SEATS, ETC.). WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAR SUFFERED "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE" AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT FAIL DUE TO NEGLECT. SOMETHING INSIDE THE ENGINE BROKE - WE BELIEVE IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. MY MECHANIC HAS QUOTED ME ON 4/27/18 WITH A QUOTE OF ALMOST $10,000 TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THIS QUOTE IS FOR A USED ENGINE WITH 70,000 MILES AND WHO'S TO SAY THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. MY CURRENT ENGINE HAS ROUGHLY 86,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE CONTACTED VW AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR AS IT'S OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND IS STILL NOT WILLING TO HELP.

FAULTY CLOCK SPRING CAUSING HORN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS NOT TO WORK. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT MY HORN NEVER WORKS. WHEN IN DAILY TRAFFIC WHERE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO HONK MY HORN TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM HITTING ME, MY LIFE IS AT RISK WITH THIS WELL KNOWN VW ISSUE.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28TH AROUND 9 PM WHEN HE CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED. HE THOUGHT THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DIED. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE ROADWAY INTO A NEARBY RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. HE CALLED ME AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. WE LEFT THE CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAD TO CAR TOWED TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO INFORM ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE IN THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE IS SHOT. MY VOLKSWAGEN CC HAS APPROXIMATELY 146,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE TO BOARDMAN VOLKSWAGEN AND I EVEN ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ONE TIME IF THE "TIMING BELT" NEEDED REPLACED ON THAT CAR BECAUSE THEY HAD A COUPON THAT THEY WOULD HANG ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR FOR A 15% OFF DISCOUNT. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS WALKING THROUGH THE SERVICE DESK AREA WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THE TIMING BELT, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID "YOU OWN THE VOLKSWAGEN CC THAT I JUST DID THE OIL CHANGE ON, CORRECT?." I SAID YES, AND HE SAID "YOU HAVE A TIMING CHAIN IN THAT CAR, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVER CHANGE THE BELT, IT DOESN'T HAVE A TIMING BELT". I SAID OK AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOOD. WELL, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH NOW AFTER MY ENGINE FAILURE, IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS WITH 2.0 LITER ENGINES HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS I DO. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LINDSAY VOLKSWAGEN IN STERLING, VIRGINIA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTICE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

VW TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED AT 50000 MILES, NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 114000 WHICH IS CAUSING CHAIN TO SKIP TEETH. ENGINE RATTLES NOW. VW WARNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DO NOT DRIVE BECAUSE ENGINE CAN FAIL COMPLETELY. VW WILL NOT COVER THE FAULTY CHAIN. 2 CHAINS UNDER 120000 MILES, WHICH MANUAL SAYS WILL NOT NEED SERVICE UNTIL 120000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM) IN OCTOBER OF 2017. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND WAS NOT ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN AND CALLED WALKER VOLKSWAGEN (8933 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD, METAIRIE, LA 70003, (504) 465-2000). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO WARRANTY LEFT AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM BACK THE FULL AMOUNT THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED ONCE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A MONTH LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DAVID MAUS VOLKSWAGEN (5474 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32839, (407) 412-9080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED PER A RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2017. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTED THE VEHICLE AND WANTED THE DEALER TO BUY IT BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

AFTER WAITING 7 MONTHS FOR A FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FOR MY 2012 VW VV, IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE THAT I CHECKED WAS 8/16/17. THEREFORE THE WORK FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. CUTRUBUS MOTORS IN LAYTON, UT TOLD ME TODAY THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER NEARLY 7 MONTHS VW HAS NOT REPAIRED THIS SAFETY RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. FRUSTRATING. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM INVOLVING AN TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. WHEN I FINALLY DID HAVE AN APPOINT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS AIRBAG REPLACEMENT IN STOCK. I HAD TO COME IN A SECOND TIME TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED.

VOLKSWAGEN IN MT PLEASANT SOUTH CAROLINA HAD ME BRING MY CAR IN TO GET A FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THIS WAS BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2017. VOLKSWAGEN PUT A FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN MY CAR AND THE CAR NO LONGER RUNS. I SPOKE WITH THE GENERAL MGR RECENTLY AND THE HEAD TECH - THEY SAID WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. I ALSO CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THEY PUT A FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN MY CAR

VEHICLE PURCHASED WITH 112,000 MILES. AT 119,000 THE CAR WOULDN'T START RANDOMLY AFTER DRIVING IT ALL DAY. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I WAS LEAVING TO RUN AN ERRAND AND IT WOULDN'T START. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUE. NO LOUD OR UNCOMMON NOISES, NO DASH LIGHTS SIGNALING A PROBLEM - NOTHING! TWO DAYS LATER I HAD IT TOWED IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE FOUND A PROBLEM WITH TIMING CHAIN AND HEAD GASKET. WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING IT FULLY DIAGNOSED, AND A PRICE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH WHICH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN VOLKSWAGEN MODELS LIKE MINE. VOLKSWAGEN IS ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT IT.

TAKATA RECALL: VOLKSWAGEN CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED THE CLOCK SPRING AND AIR BAG IN CAR HOWEVER THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. I CANNOT USE THE HORN OR ANY BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY AND PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR MONTHS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING FOR MONTHS. THE DEALER (GUNTHER VOLKSWAGEN OF COCONUT CREEK, 4300 SR 7, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073, (954) 590-3750) REPLACED THE PART WITH THE SAME PART WHILE WAITING FOR THE REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE REPLACEMENT PART FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE SAFELY DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V509 WAS ISSUED 8/16/2017. THIS VW RECALL IS ABOUT A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. SO FAR THE FUEL PUMP IS OK, BUT A FAILURE IS POTENTIALLY A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. AS OF 2/20/2018, VW DOES NOT HAVE A DATE WHEN A FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WANT TO TRADE IN THE CC TO BUY AN AUDI, BUT THE AUDI DEALER WON'T TAKE A TRADE-IN SINCE THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE CC. WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED?

PURCHASED MY CAR AND WENT TO FILL UP WITH GAS. AFTER FUELING THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED SO I DROVE BACK TO THE DEALER. ONLY A 5 MINUTE DRIVE. THE CAR THEN DIED WHILE MOVING AT 40 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES AND THE CAR DROVE OUT. THEN WAS GETTING GAS AGAIN A WEEK LATER AND THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED. WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET TURNING AND THE VEHICLE DIED AGAIN.

STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS - NHTSA 17V509

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17V509. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 20AE. FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2017 AND A LETTER WAS MAILED TO ME OCTOBER 2017 ABOUT THE RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST FOUR MONTHS SINCE THE LETTER WAS RECEIVED AND THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR VW TO CORRECT THIS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT IS A MAJOR HAZARD AND VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME WHEN IT HAPPENS EACH TIME AND NEEDS TO GET CORRECTED ASAP. I'M FILING THIS BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER (VW) HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A DATE THAT IT WILL BE RESOLVED. MEANWHILE, I DRIVE EVERY DAY AND THE RISKS OF AN ACCIDENT INCREASE EACH AND EVERY DAY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS DEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO A NEARBY USPS. LATER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR'S FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN, WHICH CAUSED ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. THAT IS SOMETHING VW SHOULD HAVE FIXED LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE VW HAD IT RECALLED FOR MORE THAN HALF YEAR. THEY HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO MAKE THING RIGHT, BUT THEY JUST CHOSE TO IGNORE IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE IF IT HAPPENED IN A INTERSTATE. PLEASE URGE THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE SO MANY LIVES COULD BE IN DANGER. NOW, I NEED TO PAY MORE THAN 1600 BUCKS TO GET IT FIXED. THAT IS INSANE.

VW CLOCK SPRING RECALL INVESTIGATION DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35-40 MPH AND THE CAR BEEPS WITH "ERROR: AIRBAG" THEN THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A WEIRD NOISE. THE HORN AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE VIC BAILEY VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
