2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC Complaints

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
