2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC Complaints

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.

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 VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. 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 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.

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

(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 REPRESENT THEIR COMPANY. THIS LOCATION'S SERVICE AND CULTURE WERE REALLY BAD FROM THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAD GOTTEN. I CHOSE TO GET SERVICE THERE ONLY BECAUSE IT'S THE CLOSEST VW LOCATION. NO OTHER REASONS. THANK YOU FOR READING MY COMPLAINTS WITH YOUR PATIENT! HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!
