AFTER 87K MY 2011 VW CC HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN TENSION AND HAS RUINED MY ENGINE IN LESS THAN 72 HOURS. I RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOTIFICATION AND IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT, BUT BY THE TIME I GOT IT INTO THE SHOP, MY ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. EVEN THOUGH I NEVER RECEIVED A LOW OIL NOTIFICATION, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW BY THE DIP STICK AND THEREFORE ADDED A FEW QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND MY ENGINE WAS DAMAGED. THE TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS IS OVER $10,000 AND THEREFORE EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE($5K).
Jul 16, 2018
VW & AUDI TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DEFECT ' CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ENGINE FAILED DUE TO TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WENT TO START VW CC AND IT HAD A DELAYED OR SLOW CRANK. WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED IT WAS VIBRATING LIKE CRAZY. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND A FEW DAYS LATER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TIMING HAD SLIPPED DUE TO THE TENSIONER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SEVERAL BULLETINS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE WHERE SENT TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND OF COURSE THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I AM DEALING WITH HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND HAS WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY YEARS AND IT WOULD COST $3000 - $9000 DEPENDING ON ENGINE DAMAGE BUT MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE INFORMATION ALSO STATES THAT THIS COULD AND DOES HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING WHICH COULD PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS NEEDS BE INVESTIGATED AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT DEALERS, SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND VW CALL CENTER PERSONNEL ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND BASICALLY DENY ANY KIND OF LIABILITY IS EXTREMELY UNJUST.

STARTED THE CAR AND THE RED STEERING WHEEL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND POWER STEERING WAS ACTIVE AND RED LIGHT WAS OFF BUT THE EFFORT TO TURN WAS LIGHTER THAN NORMAL. THE NEXT TIME WE STARTED THE CAR WE HAD NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, WHEN IT DOES WORK IT OVER CORRECTS THE STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN NOT WORKING MY WIFE CAN NOT TURN THE WHEEL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A SHORT IN THE STEERING RACK. $2000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MILES.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR DROVE FORWARD. IT HAS ALSO ACTED AS THOUGH IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHILE IN REVERSE. EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS THE DASH TRANSMISSION LIGHT BLINKS. AT TIMES IT STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND MAKES CLICKING NOISES WHEN STOPPED. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION, ALL SERVICES HAVE BEEN DONE AND HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM.
Feb 04, 2019
WENT INTO PARKING LOT AND CRANKED VEHICLE AND SELECTED REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REVERSE. SHUT VEHICLE OFF, STARTED AGAIN, AND PUSHED ACCELERATOR HARDER. THE VEHICLE MOVED, BUT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 30-40 MPH. DROVE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN SAFE MODE. ALL OF THE DRIVE MODES WERE BLINKING. DEALER DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CC. THE END RESULT WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE CC ONLY HAS 99,500 MILES ON IT.
Apr 12, 2018
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MORNING RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR AND THE GEAR INDICATOR BEGAN BLINKING. THIS CAUSED RAPID DECELERATION FROM HIGHWAY SPEED DOWN TO 30-40 MPH. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. DEALER DIAGNOSED LEAKING REAR MAIN SEAL, BAD PCV VALVE AND A CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION.

I WAS LEAVING THE STORE WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICULAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. I PULLED INTO ANOTHER STORE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE MY CAR STOPPED WORKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL VOLKSWAGEN BECAUSE THIS ISSUES WAS LIKELY COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. I CALLED VOLKESWAGEN AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT UP TO 120K MILES AND TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BROKEN AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AT 100K MILES. MY CAR HAS 108K MILES. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MANUFACTURE. I ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T IN THE PERAMITERS BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE (ENDS AT 100K). I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT BEFORE THE 100K MIKE CUTOFF. BECAUSE THEY SAID THIS WASN'T COVERED IN THE WARRANTY, I LOOKED INTO BUYING ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME $250 FOR MY VEHICLE. NOW I KNOW VOLKSWAGEN IS TRYING TO AVOID PAYING FOR THIS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.

I CANNOT CONTINUE TO DIVE MY VEHICLE IN FEAR OF A MALFUNCTION THAT COULD TAKE MY LIFE.

VEHICLE KEEPS MISFIRING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. EPC LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AFTER FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING CAR JERKS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH. LOTS OF WEAR TO TIRES WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. BREAKS MUST BE PUSH ON HARD TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ONLY THING THAT WAS WRONG WAS A CODE FOR CARBON BUILDUP. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PROVIDE CODE JUST A PRICE OF $1000. SPARK PLUGS AND COILS WERE CHANGED BEFORE PURCHASING VEHICLE. I'M CERTAIN THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT CHANGED. THE VEHICLE USES 1/8 OF A TANK TO WARM UP.
Mar 20, 2019
I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY FUEL PUMP. I WENT AND GOT THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. NOW THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED, MY CAR IS NOT STARTING, SHAKING AT RED LIGHTS, TURNING OFF ON ITS OWN, WINDOWS COMING DOWN ON ITS OWN, AIR NOT WORKING AND COMING BACK ON. I WAS IN MOTION BACKING UP AND MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF ON ITS ON. I AM AT A STANDSTILL WITH WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL- THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED BUT MADE THE CAR WORSE.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. LOW AND BEHOLD THEY INFORMED ME I HAVE A FAILING POWER STEERING MODULE, REAR MAIN SEAL, CARBON BUILD UP ON THE INTAKE, AS WELL AS CRACKS IN BOTH FRONT CONTROL ARMS. TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THIS DIAGNOSIS AND GAVE ME A $6250 QUOTE FOR THE WORK. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND FELT GREAT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. CAR HAS 90K ON IT AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL THEN. ALL THESE ITEMS WERE NEGLECTED BY THE DEALER.
Feb 20, 2019
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, VEHICLE FAILED TO START, BUT DISPLAYED A "STEERING WHEEL LOCK DEFECTIVE" ALERT. WHEN KEY IS REMOVED AND REPLACED IN THE IGNITION, IT WILL THEN START. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE IS NOW IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT DUE TO OIL RUNNING LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED ON ITS REGULAR 10,000 MILE SCHEDULE AND DID NOT GIVE ANY WARNINGS OR ALERTS. IT ALTOGETHER FAILED TO START AND GAVE ONLY A SHAKING/RATTLING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO CRANK. IN ALL INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO VW SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES SINCE 3/23/18 FOR AN ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM. FIRST IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THEN IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM, NEXT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. VW OF AMERICA IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE DIED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WITH NO POWER IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. IF IT HAD BEEN AT NIGHT, IM NOT SURE I WOULD HVE MADE IT. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE N205 VALVE. IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT THERE IS A SCREEN THAT CAN FALL APART AND BLOCK THE VALVE FROM MOVING OIL TO THE CAM SHAFT. CAUSING THE TIMING TO MOVE AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP SAY IT IS A ISSUE THEY SEE ALL THE TIME. THEY SAID THE NEW VERSION OF THE PART IS TO CORRECT THAT. PROBLEM IS WHEN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENS THE DEALERSHIP ATTITUDE SEEMS TO BE WE KNOW ITS A PROBLEM BUT IF THE COST IS TO HIGH TO FIX, THEY WILL NOT DO ANY THING UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. THAT PUTS PEOPLES SAFETY AT RISQUE BECAUSE OF THERE UNWILLINGNESS TO FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE COMPANIES BOTTOM LINE.

THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE IN THIS CAR'S RADIO (MODEL RNS-510) COMES ON EXTREMELY SLOWLY. IF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR MORE THAN 30 MINS, MOSTLY LIKELY IT WILL TAKE 30 SECONDS FOR THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE TO SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, RENDERING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA MOSTLY USELESS. WE HAVE MANY KIDS IN OUR AREA, THIS IS NOT SAFE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET, THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINS FROM OTHER DRIVERS ABOUT THIS RADIO FOR THIS ISSUE. VW IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS RADIO NEEDS A FIRMWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT GOING WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES FROM 5 MPH-55 MPH WITHOUT ME INITIATING IT.

2011 VW SPORT CC - LESS THAN 52,000 MILES. STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. DEALER ADVISED TIMING CHAIN ISSUES AND WHILE REPAIRING THE ENGINE THEY HAD TO REPLACE UNRELIABLE PARTS. KNOWN ISSUE BUT NONE UNDER RECALL. THEY SAID A SCREEN SHATTERED IN THE ENGINE, A KNOWN ISSUE IS WHAT CAUSED ALL OF THIS. ALL MANUFACTURING ERROR. CUSTOMER CARE ADMITTED THAT AND SO DID THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. QUOTE $1400. THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY "DISCOVERED" THE CAR NEEDED A NEW CAM SHAFT. NEW QUOTE $2200. NOTHING UNDER WARRANTY/RECALL . VW CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME TO SAVE MY RECEIPTS INCASE A RECALL COMES ABOUT BUT DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR OR THE FACT THEY ARE REPLACING UNRELIABLE PARTS. IF THEY KNOW THEY ARE UNRELIABLE WHY ARE THEY NOT ON RECALL. WROTE A LETTER TO THE CEO AND GOT THE COST REDUCED TO $1400. RECEIPT SHOWS ONE PRICE NO BREAK DOWN OF COSTS AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT HAVE THE PARTS BACK, EVEN THOUGH I JUST PAID $1400 FOR THEM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL OR WAS IT ALL LABOR COST. VW DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. AND BY THE WAY THE AIR BAG IS STILL NOT REPAIRED, THAT IS UNDER RECALL. SAFETY IN VW - ZERO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE COMPUTER FLASHED A WARNING THAT THERE IS A PARKING BREAK ERROR AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO STOP. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. FOLLOWING THE REPEATED ( OVER 6 TIMES) SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING OF THE CAR THE PARKING ERROR WARNING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN PROCEEDED TO STOP AND NO FORWARD MOTION TOOK PLACE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS AT HIGH TRAFFIC/ RUSH HOUR TIMES. FOLLOWING THESE INCIDENTS THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY SUNRISE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP. THEY PREFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP INJECTION SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AND A LITTLE OVER A MONTH LATER (OCTOBER 22ND) THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED ONCE AGAIN SHUTTING DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, PRIOR MALFUNCTION HAS RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COOLANT SYSTEM ISSUES FOR WHICH I HAVE HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EACH TIME I'M TOLD THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED, I AM EXPOSED TO POSSIBLE HIGHWAY FATALITY AS I RESUME DRIVING. MY SUGGESTION THAT THE VEHICLE BE REPLACED WAS REJECTED AND EACH ATTEMPT AT REPAIR HAS PROVEN TO BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEMS.

AT 9:30 AM ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE CAR CUT OFF. TWO (2) ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER AN HOURS WAIT (FOR AAA), ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR AND IT STARTED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT AND NO USUAL NOISES. THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THIS NOT NECESSARILY A COMPLAINT, BUT A REPORT FOR POSSIBLE RECALL RESEARCH PURPOSES. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING TO INCLUDE MY HORN, AIRBAG, ESP, AND TRACTION CONTROL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON ALL VW MODELS AND OCCURS AROUND 40,000 MILES. APPARENTLY THE VW CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY HAS A DESIGN FLAW, AND THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR

FOR THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE GONE TO GET MY CAR CHECKED OUT, AND THE PROBLEM ISN'T GETTING RESOLVED. THERE'S A CONSTANT RATTLING, THAT MAKES THE CAR SEEMED UNBALANCED OF SORTS. ALSO MY TIRES ARE GETTING USED UP, VERY RAPIDLY AS LITTLE AS 2-3 MONTHS. THEY SAY THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT STILL MY CAR NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME THING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
1 complaint
COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES. TRIED TO STOP AT 90 DEGREE TURN AND PEDAL WENT WITHIN TWO INCHES OF THE FLOOR. CAR HAD ALMOST NO BRAKES. WENT OFF THE ROAD BUT WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT OUT OF 6 FOOT DITCH. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT A FAILURE IN THE VACUUM PUMP CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A BROKEN PART INSIDE. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. NO WARNING OF FAILURE WHATSOEVER. VW TREATED IT LIKE IT WAS THE SAME AS A FLAT TIRE. I FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ASKED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE LEASE. I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T DO THAT. I TRADED THE CAR FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I FELT THE VW CC WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING; HOWEVER, THEY RESUMED WHEN THE CONTACT ACCELERATED AT 10 MPH OR MORE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER HE DROVE BELOW 10 MPH AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED A TECHNICIAN WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALER FOR A POSSIBLE RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE SET THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE LOW POSITION, THEY OPERATED SUFFICIENTLY AS LONG AS HE WAS DRIVING, BUT WHEN HE STOPPED AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS, STOP SIGNS OR FOR ANY REASON THE WIPERS WOULD SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, LEAVING NO VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONSUMER STATED HE REMAINED WITHOUT VISION UNTIL HE MOVED SEVERAL FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE DEALER RESOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT REFUSED TO ADMIT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. UPDATED 11/15/11
