2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC Engine Problems

Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed and it will lose power. It bumps and jolts to life. My RPM shoots up and and down. It lags to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate it suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately.

I'm part of a class action lawsuit where I was denied after sending all of the pertinent information the attorney's requested. I have all documentation of the correspondence which was requested with contact information to the Volkswagen company and other recipients. The class action is "Engine Water Pump Settlement". The water pump was faulty in this vehicle and many others of this model. It was deemed a safety concern by the federal government of the United States. This has been in progress since 2019.

Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed loses power. Lags to accelerate when gas pedal is pressed then suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately. Vehicle will restart lights wil eventually go off until the next failure.

DRIVING A 2012 VW CC WITH 57,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING TRUCK. ACCELERATED QUICKLY AND MID PASS THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WITH ECR LIGHT ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. PULLED OVER SAFELY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER COLLECTING MYSELF, I STARTED ENGINE TO DRIVE OFF HIGHWAY. CAR WOULD NOT START. I SAT A FEW MOMENTS IN PANIC AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE WITH ECR LIGHT ON TO NEXT EXIT. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION. PULLED TO GAS STATION AND TURNED OFF AGAIN. RESTARTED AND THE ENGINE RPMS RAN HIGHER IN IDLE SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AGAIN. LET IT SIT AND RESTARTED AND DROVE TO AUTO ZONE WHERE THEY DID A CODE TESTER AND WAS TOLD P0229 UNDERBOOST TURBOCHARGER WAS ISSUE. AUTO ZONE EMPLOYEE SAID HE HAD SEEN IT MANY TIMES AND ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2.0 TURBO ENGINES IN VW AND AUDI. THE REPORT IS ATTACHED. AUTO ZONE RESET THE ECR LIGHT AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO FINAL DESTINATION INTO ARIZONA WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES YET. RESEARCHING I FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T23523_DS493841. THIS LINK EXPRESSES THE OPINIONS OF MANY DRIVERS OVER THE YEARS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND HOW UNSAFE AND DIFFICULT TO IS TO RESOLVE WITH MANY FOLKS EXPERIENCING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND NEVER FINDING A REMEDY. I AM WORRIED AND SHOCKED THAT THE CAR ENGINE CAN BE TURNED OFF BY A COMPUTER WITH NO BYPASS FOR THE DRIVER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT GRAY COLORED EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE 2.0T TSI ENGINE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH WILL FAIL AND CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK CAUSING IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE PUTTING THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER AND DIFFICULTY STEERING. I AM EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ACTING FUNNY AND EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO ME HOW THE TIMING CHAIN COULD CAUSE THAT MUCH DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN CREATED WITH A FAULTY DESIGN, SO NOW I'M EXPECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE A FAULTY ENGINE WITH ANOTHER FAULTY ENGINE. IT'S EXTREMELY UPSETTING THAT AFTER I SENT MY VEHICLE IN FOR ISSUES WITH A RECALL, FUEL PUMP, THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SELF DESTRUCT LIKE THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND LOST POWER. ALSO, THE EPC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER THIRTY MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO PIAZZA VOLKSWAGEN OF ARDMORE (150 W LANCASTER AVE, ARDMORE, PA 19003, (610) 896-8600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V509000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS HAD OVER TWO YEARS OF UNRESOLVED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WHAT IT WAS THERE FOR NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM BUT OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND THATS THE PROBLEM. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT REPAIR ONLY TO BRING IT BACK FOR THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. THIS IS THE PATTERN WITH THE ENGINE LEAKING OIL AND THE LEAK NEVER FOUND TO THE CAR NOT GOING ABOVE 10 MPH. WTHIN THE LAST 5 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF NO POWER AND RATTLING SHAKING TRANSMISSION. THREE TO FOUR WEEKS AT A TIME. IN THE PAST THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE A WEEK FOR THE OIL TO BE CHECK AND FILLED TO SPECS . ALSO WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS BEEN WORKED ON BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN UP BY A TECHNICIAN BEING CARELESS IN MAKING A REPAIR. IN REPAIR ORDERS I HAVE THE MAJOR WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE.IN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND VOLKSWAGEN THE ONLY THING THATS BEING SAID THAT THE CAR IS TOO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY. THE ISSUE THAT GENERATES THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR AND IT NEEDS A ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND WANTS BETWEEN $8,000-$11,000. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE CARRYING THE BURDEN OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF THE CARS IN QUESTION (WHICH IS THE VOLKSWAGEN 2012 CC). ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE EVENTS WITH THIS CAR STARTED IN THE YEAR 2016 AND THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CONSTANT EVRY SINCE UP UNTIL THIS CURRENT DATE.

THE CAR HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS QUITE AS IT SHOULD BE THEN IT STARTED IT TO MISFIRING AND START TO SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE DEALER, THEY BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I SHOULDN'T BE STARTING THE CAR UNTIL I GET IT FIXED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WILL OCCUR ON A CAR THAT HAS A LOW MILEAGE LIKE MINE.

2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN MORE THAN 20 MILES BEFORE NEEDING TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. *JS

ENGINE IS TURNING OVER BUT ONLY STARTING OCCASIONALLY. WHEN IT DOES START, THE EPC AND CHECK ENGINE/CATALYTIC CONVERTER LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AFTER I HAD TO FIGURE OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...BEFORE THERE WAS A RECALLED ISSUED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. CAR RAN FINE EARLIER TODAY, THEN WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE MY HOUSE, TOOK AN EXTENDED TIME TO START. SHUT IT OFF TO SEE IF IT WAS A GLITCH, AND DIDN'T START AT ALL.

Mileage: 65,000

I EXPERIENCED A LEAK FROM THE WATER PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT HE ALWAYS SEES THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE VOLKSWAGENS BECAUSE VOLKSWAGEN USES PLASTIC PARTS AND THESE PARTS ARE OFTEN AROUND THE HIGHLY HEATED AREAS IN THE ENGINE THEREFORE THEY FAIL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HER SAFETY IF VW IS USING INADEQUATE PARTS IN THEIR CARS. ALSO, REPAIR COSTS ARE UNIMAGINABLE, $1000, ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PLASTIC PART. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TAIL LIGHT CASINGS BECAUSE IT TOO WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND THE TAIL LIGHT LAMP BURNED INTO THE PLASTIC AND CEASED TO LIGHT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS CAR IN FOR TWO DIFFERENT PARTS RECALLS, AIRBAG X 2, AND FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, EPC AND ENGINE WARINGING SIGNS WERE ON ALL OF SUDDEN. I CHECKED WITH LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN SOLVANG, CA. THEY SAID, THEY WANTED TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL AND CHECK. AFTER THEN, THEY SAID THERE WERE LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THEN ENGINE DIED. MY CAR TOWED TO NEARBY VW DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AN ENGINE.

Mileage: 106,000

MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND THEN I RECIEVED A LETTER SAYING IT HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. WELL WE THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT AS IT TURNS OUT NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. AFTER THEY FIXED THE PART MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE AND WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT.THIS COULD HAVE BE AVOIDED IF THEY WOULD HAVE NOT HAD THIS RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE UPHILL WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PARK AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK VERY LOUDLY BUT WOULD NEVER TURN OVER. I ASSUMED IT MIGHT BE THE OIL SO I CHANGED IT, FILLED IT WITH GAS SINCE IT WAS A BIT ON THE LOW SIDE, AND FINALLY HAD A NEIGHBOR CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH THEIRS IN CASE IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY. FROM FEAR THAT I MIGHT FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENGINE I WAITED A WHILE BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. WHEN I DID NOTHING HAD CHANGED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL A MECHANIC AND AFTER HIM HAVING NOT A CLUE WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM I RESORTED TO HAVING THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 HOURS AWAY IN SANTA MONICA, CA. ONE DAY LATER, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE VW DEALERSHIP INFORMING ME THAT MY TIMING CHAIN HAD UNEXPECTEDLY BROKEN AND FURTHER DAMAGED A FEW VALVES/PISTONS/ETC. WHEN I ASKED HOW IT MIGHT'VE HAPPENED THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR ME BUT INSTEAD TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME UPWARDS OF $5,000 TO EVEN BEGIN REPARATIONS. AFTER A BIT OF MY OWN RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT TIMING CHAINS SHOULD USUALLY LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND NEVER BREAK THAT SOON. I ALSO READ THAT VW HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY TIMING CHAINS AND THAT MY BEST BET WAS TO FILE SOME SORT OF COMPLAINT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF HAVING TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN CHECKED NOR WAS I WAS THAT SUCH AN INCIDENT COULD OCCUR. AS A WAY OF HOPEFULLY NOT HAVING TO SPEND NEARLY WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH FOR A DAMAGE NOT INCURRED BY MYSELF I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ON 4/16/18 I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH, I PULLED UP TO AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO, I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR DIED THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS STALLED. LUCKILY, TWO GENTLEMEN STOPPED AND PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY WHILE I WAS GETTING AHOLD OF MY HUSBAND. WHEN MY HUSBAND ARRIVED WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD AND TO HIS OFFICE (WHICH IS ABOUT A 1/2 MILE FROM WHERE I WAS). HOWEVER, WHEN HE WENT TO LEAVE LATER THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULDN'T NOT START BUT STILL HAD POWER TO EVERYTHING (RADIO, WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, SEATS, ETC.). WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAR SUFFERED "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE" AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT FAIL DUE TO NEGLECT. SOMETHING INSIDE THE ENGINE BROKE - WE BELIEVE IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. MY MECHANIC HAS QUOTED ME ON 4/27/18 WITH A QUOTE OF ALMOST $10,000 TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THIS QUOTE IS FOR A USED ENGINE WITH 70,000 MILES AND WHO'S TO SAY THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. MY CURRENT ENGINE HAS ROUGHLY 86,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE CONTACTED VW AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR AS IT'S OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND IS STILL NOT WILLING TO HELP.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28TH AROUND 9 PM WHEN HE CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND STOPPED. HE THOUGHT THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DIED. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE ROADWAY INTO A NEARBY RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. HE CALLED ME AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. WE LEFT THE CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAD TO CAR TOWED TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO INFORM ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE IN THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE IS SHOT. MY VOLKSWAGEN CC HAS APPROXIMATELY 146,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE TO BOARDMAN VOLKSWAGEN AND I EVEN ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ONE TIME IF THE "TIMING BELT" NEEDED REPLACED ON THAT CAR BECAUSE THEY HAD A COUPON THAT THEY WOULD HANG ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR FOR A 15% OFF DISCOUNT. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS WALKING THROUGH THE SERVICE DESK AREA WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THE TIMING BELT, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID "YOU OWN THE VOLKSWAGEN CC THAT I JUST DID THE OIL CHANGE ON, CORRECT?." I SAID YES, AND HE SAID "YOU HAVE A TIMING CHAIN IN THAT CAR, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVER CHANGE THE BELT, IT DOESN'T HAVE A TIMING BELT". I SAID OK AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOOD. WELL, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH NOW AFTER MY ENGINE FAILURE, IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS WITH 2.0 LITER ENGINES HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS I DO. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER SEEMS TO BE FAULTY IN MANY CASES AND VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TOO COSTLY. I NOW HAVE TO PAY ANYWHERE FROM $4000 TO $6000 FOR MY ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A CHAIN IN THE ENGINE SHOULD BREAK UNLESS IT WAS DEFECTIVE. IN WHICH CASE, VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD BE WILLING TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TT *TR

VW TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED AT 50000 MILES, NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 114000 WHICH IS CAUSING CHAIN TO SKIP TEETH. ENGINE RATTLES NOW.

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.

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.

Mileage: 107,000

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.

MY CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE. IT ALL STARTED WHEN MY FUEL PUMP STARTED TO LEAK GAS ALL OVER MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. MY VEHICLE RAN FINE ON MY WAY TO THE STORE BUT WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY CAR IT TURNED OVER AND LET ME PULL OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT BUT THEN DIED WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE IN THE PARKING LOT. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP MY CAR BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 10/9/17 AND IT APPEARED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. ON 10/29/17 I DROVE MY CAR UP NORTH TO PAYSON. IT RAN COMPLETELY FINE UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF TO GO TO THE CREEK. WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY CAR IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. I BOUGHT A BATTERY AND REPLACED IT YET AGAIN. THIS TIME THE BATTERY DID NOT HELP GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWED UP WAS AN EPC LIGHT. I LEFT THE CAR OVER NIGHT AND CAME BACK TO IT THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED UP JUST FINE WITH NO EPC LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON OCT 30TH. IT RAN FINE WITH NO HESITATION UP UNTIL THE MORNING OF 11/10/17. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY EPC LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. I REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE THROUGH VOLKSWAGEN. WHEN I REACHED OUT TO CUSTOMER CARE ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NOT COMPLETE. THEY HAVE NO OFFER OF A LOANER CAR OR ANYTHING WHILE I WAIT FOR THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO I'M LEFT WITH A CAR THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN AND LOSES POWER FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

VOLKSWAGEN CC 2012 CAR STARTED WITH FUEL INJECTORS ISSUES STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 72K MILES. ALTHOUGH, IN 2011 THEY HAD A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL INJECTORS THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE COST FOR ME. NOW, I AM TOLD THE FOLLOWING BY TREND MOTORS IN DENVILLE NEW JERSEY - THE PLACE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO FOR SERVICE, THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE FOLLOWING ARE TREND MOTORS IN DENVILLE'S EXACT WORDS FROM SERVICE WRITE-UP: "CHECK OIL PRESSURE:PRESSURE AT IDLE IS OK. ROAD TEST AND RECHECK WARM, OK. CHECK OIL PRESSURE AT 1,700 RPMS'***FAILED*** AZ REMOVE TOP END AND INSPECT. FOUND EVIDENCE OF LACK OF LUBRICATION AT CAM SHAFT. THIS IS CAUSING LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE" IT HAS ONLY BEEN 1800 MILES SINCE MY LAST VISIT SO I ASKED TREND MOTORS WHY THIS WAS NOT CAUGHT WITH MACHINERY TO INDICATE A CODE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS GOING ON AND THEY SAID A CODE WOULD NOT POP UP ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE OIL WAS LEAKING IN TO THE ENGINE, SO THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL PAN BUT IT WASN'T THE OIL PAN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO TREND MOTORS IN DENVILLE BECAUSE AN OIL CAN LIGHT APPEARED WHEN I WAS TAKING IT IN TO THEM BECAUSE AN ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON TOO. THIS SAME CAR ALSO HAD A HORN ISSUE WHERE THE HORN STOPPING WORKING. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REQUEST A GOOD FAITH PAYMENT AND I AM WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. VOLKSWAGEN SAID THERE CARS HAVE LONGEVITY BUT IT IS CLEAR THEY ARE NOT AS RELIABLE AS OTHER CARS. I HAVE A TOYOTA PRIUS WITH 250K MILES AND THE LARGEST COST I RECEIVED ON MY TOYOTA WAS WHEN I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT ONCE. IF VOLKSWAGEN CAN'T GO MUCH PAST THE WARRANTY THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO SAY THIS ON THEIR MONRONEY LABEL.

ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE ACCELERATION AND TIMING ISSUES. TOOK TO LOCAL SHOP FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TO LOOK INTO ISSUE. WAS INFORMED THAT ALL MY MISFIRE ISSUES WERE NOT FROM IGNITION COILS AS PREVIOUSLY FIXED BY VW DEALER BUT THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. ENGINE ONLY HAS 108K MILES (ALL HIGHWAY COMMUTER) AND STILL OWE MONEY ON LOAN. SHOP INFORMED ME THAT ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY TORN APART TO SEE ALL THE DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN DONE BUT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO JUST REPLACE WITH USED ENGINE. I HAVE NO GOOD OPTIONS SINCE $6K IS STILL OWED ON VEHICLE, NO WARRANTY AND NO MEANS OF REPLACING MOTOR. VW IS AWARE OF ISSUE. SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMMON ENOUGH TO HAVE MADE SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND AFTERMARKET COMPANIES TO SELL UPGRADED PREVENTATIVE REPLACEMENT PART.

I DROVE THE CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PARTICULAR SHOP DID NOT OFFER THIS SERVICE SO I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP WHICH CONFIRMED THE DIAGNOSIS.

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC FAILED UNDER NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS 65K MILES ON IT AND THE REPAIR SHOP IS CITING THAT AN ENTIRE ENGINE IS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITH A COST OF $7,000. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, NEITHER HAVE OFFERED ANY RELIEF. THIS HAS POSED A TREMENDOUS IMPEDIMENT ON MY LIFE AND THREATENS TO RUIN MY CREDIT AS I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE.

TWO DAYS AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP WITH NO ISSUES. I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT FIRE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A VW DEALER WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO DO A MULTIPOINT DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION AND THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE ESTIMATE WAS OVER $7000. I CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN FAILURE WITH THAT LOW OF MILEAGE, 73,000. HE CALLED BACK A FEW MIN LATER AND TOLD ME OF A TSB ON THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND ALSO THAT THERE WERE LAWSUITS FOR THIS EXACT THING. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND MULTIPLE LAWSUITS, A SETTLEMENT IN 2014 IN WHICH THEY PAID ALL REPAIR COSTS AND REIMBURSEMENTS. THE LAWSUIT INDICATED THAT VW HAS KNOWN ABOUT A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FOR YEARS AND HAVE NOT PUT OUT A RECALL, NOR EVEN LET THEIR CUSTOMERS KNOW OF THIS POTENTIAL. THEY DO HAVE A REPLACEMENT TENSIONER AVAILABLE WHICH DOES INDICATE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THE DEALER TECH HOW HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND SAID HE LISTENED WHEN HE WENT TO START AND PUT A SCOPE IN THE OIL DIP. WITH THAT SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME, HE CAME UP WITH A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN AND DAMAGED HEAD CYLINDER, AND A MAJOR REPAIR COST. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE TENSIONER AND HE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE, WHICH I FIND HIGHLY UNLIKELY, DUE TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAVE A CALL INTO VW CUSTOMER CARE ASKING FOR THEM TO FIX IT AT NO COST DUE THE DEFECTIVE PART. THIS IS A VERY LARGE ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN NOT ONLY A HIGH COST, MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, BUT COULD ALSO RESULT IN ENGINE POWER, STEERING AND BRAKE CAPACITY WHICH IS A CATASTROPHIC SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMUNICATED, AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY VW PRIOR TO ANY RESULTING DAMAGE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ANY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

2012 VW CC WITH 72K. ALWAYS MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND OIL CHANGE WAS DONE EVERY 5-6K ONLY AT VW DEALER. ISSUE STARED T TRAFFIC LIGHTS, CAR STOPPED AND WHEN STARTED IT WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. SOUNDED LIKE RUNNING ON 2-3 CYLINDERS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEANSHIP, FOUND 8 CODES, MOSTLY MISFIRES ON ALL 4 CYLINDER AND ALSO ISSUE WITH CAMSHAFT TIMING. DEALER TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, COST $1200 JUST FOR DIAGNOSES. I CALLED VW AMERICA THEY SUGGESTED TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART AND BASED ON THE PROBLEM THEY WILL CONDITIONER IF THEY WILL AGREE TO HELP. DEALER PROCEED WITH DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND THE ISSUE. BROKEN BRACKET SCREEN OF PART NUMBER 06H-103-144-J BRACKET. THE MISSING SCREEN WAS NOT FOUND AT ALL AND THIS PART FAILURE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE SO I ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT OF THE CAMSHAFT PART #06-H109021K, VALVE AND MANY OTHER PARTS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED PARTS (INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS) AND INVOICE OF WHAT WAS REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT AUDI WITH SAME ENGINES USED EXACTLY THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT FAILED IN MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAD ISSUED RECALL CAMPAIGN 15D6. VW NOT WILLING TO HELP OR COVER THE COST WITH EXPLANATION THAT VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN AUDI USES SAME ENGINE AND THEY ARE SAME COMPANY. I DO HAVE THE OLD PARTS WITH ME AND I SEE THAT THE PART WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE IS 06H-103-166-G AND THE REPLACEMENT PART BASED ON THE INVOICE IS 06H-103-144-J, THE ONE THAT IS PART OF THE AUDI RECALL. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ISSUE HAPPENED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I WORKED WITH REGIONAL CASE MANAGER AND HER SUPERVISOR BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING EVEN WHEN I MENTIONED THE AUDI RECALL. MY CASE NUMBER WITH VW AMERICA IS 160174354. TOTAL COST FOR THIS REPAIR AND RENTALS HAS COST ME $3100

!. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR I HAD COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE SLUGGISHNESS OF MY CAR, STOHLMAN ADMITS THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON, ACCORDING TO THEM. ENGINE CAME ON, TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO HOME SAME THING, WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE MISFIRING ISSUE. MIND YOU, MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, NOW WARRANTY HAS ENDED. SEVERAL CYLINDERS MISFIRING. I WANT STOHLMAN TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY TIRE PRESSURE SCREEN NEVER READ THE SAME NUMBER SINCE PURCHASE, I HAD SPOKEN ABOUT THIS TOO BUT WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE HEATING AND COOLING OFF OF THE TIRES WILL GIVE DIFFERENT READINGS. THE CAR HAS TO RETURNED LESS THAN A MONTH OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF A CLUNKING SOUND. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID THE INSPECTION THE QUALIFY THE CAR AS CERTIFICATED, I TRULY DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I AM TIRED OF THE ISSUES AND NEED RESOLUTION. THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD AVOID THE SOUND, THEY GOT THE CAR IN MARCH 2014, I PURCHASED IN MAY 2014. ALSO, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES.

MY VEHICLE FIRST HAD AN ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSED AN ABS FAILURE. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEN MOST RECENTLY I HAD AN EPC CODE ILLUMINATE IN ADDITION TO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE RPM AND START MISFIRING. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 COILS ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE AT THE SHOP MY AIR CONDITIONED STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ONLY FUNCTIONING WHEN ON THE 4 POSITION. I HATE THIS CARE MORE THAN ANYTHING AND CAN ONLY PRAY THAT VW MAY FIND IT IN THEIR HEART TO BUY IT BACK!!!!
