2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC Complaints

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 VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. 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.
