2014 VOLKSWAGEN CC Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL ACROSS THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A COUPLE OF TREES IN A NEIGHBOR'S YARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (DIEHL AUTOMOTIVE, 258 PITTSBURGH RD, BUTLER, PA 16002, 724-282-8898). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATIONS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND 18V148000 (AIR BAGS), WHICH STATED THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY VEHICLE START WITH THE PROBLEM AT 33KMILES. NOW I'M AT 37KMILES AND IT'S HAPPENING DAILY. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IT ON DRIVE, THE BRAKE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY AND STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP, THE MESSAGE CENTER SHOWS ERROR WITH AIRBAG, ABS BRAKE, VEHICLE STABILIZATION...ETC. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I WOULD STOP AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES THAT RESET THE LIGHTS AND OTHER TIMES THAT DOES NOT HELP. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE BRAKES NOISES AND THE POWER STEERING GETS UNSTABLE, AND AFRAID THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I JUST UPDATE THE AIRBAG FROM THE LAST RECALL. I CAN'T DRIVE WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES.

THE CAR IS STALLING UPON ACCELERATING WHILE IN MOTION AND AT A STOP IT JERKS BACK AND FORTH. THE CAR SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING AND PUTTERS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHILE IN MOTION AND COMPLETELY DIED, AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DETERMINED SEVERAL PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING MOUNTING, BEARING, C VALVE, AH SEPARATOR, RIBBEDBELT, TENSIONER, C-GASKET, D-GASKET, SEAL RING AND BOLT. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME AGAIN IT DIED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, WASHER AND CONTROL UNIT. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE DRIVING FINE THE DAY I LEFT, BUT THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THEY ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I KEPT UP WITH ALL SERVICE AND IN JANUARY OF 2018 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED YET AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION, WITH VEHICLES ALMOST STRIKING ME, AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ADVISED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE PART. THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL MARCH 2018 WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN MOTION. THE DEALERSHIP NOW STATES THE BUSHINGS ARE CRACKED AND DRY ROTTED, AND THE MECHATRONIC UNIT HAS FAILED AND THE VEHICLE NOW NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH A GAS SMELL THAT ARISES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR OVER 4 YEARS-- I WAS ENCOURAGE TO CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP BY VW DEALER-- BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO ONLY PUT PREMIUM GRADE A GAS AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANERS WHICH I DID REPEATEDLY, UNFORTUNATELY THE SMELL WORSENED UNTIL THE DAY I WENT TO REGISTER MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A VISIBLE FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER THE MANIFOLD AND IT WAS A SLOW DRIP THAT WAS EVAPORATING OFF THE ENGINE HEAD. I WAS TOLD THE CAR COULD COMBUST AT ANY TIME. I WENT TO THE NEARER VW AND THE PROBLEM THAT NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT FOR YEARS WAS A "FUEL LINE TO HIGH PRESSURE PUMP" $ 399 TOTAL-- I NO LONGER HAVE THIS FUEL SMELL. BUT BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VW'S ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE .THE FUEL SMELL WAS NOTED THE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 20,000 MILES AND THE HOSE GAVE OUT AT 70,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A REPORTABLE INCIDENT FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL.
