2011 Volkswagen CC Engine Problems

TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DUBLIN VOLKSWAGEN (6085 SCARLETT COURT, DUBLIN, CA 94568) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE SAME DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE IN 2015, 2016, AND 2017 FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 194,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL (3371 LAUREL FORT MEADE RD, LAUREL, MD 20724, (301) 498-7400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER 87K MY 2011 VW CC HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN TENSION AND HAS RUINED MY ENGINE IN LESS THAN 72 HOURS. I RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOTIFICATION AND IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT, BUT BY THE TIME I GOT IT INTO THE SHOP, MY ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. EVEN THOUGH I NEVER RECEIVED A LOW OIL NOTIFICATION, I NOTICED THE OIL WAS LOW BY THE DIP STICK AND THEREFORE ADDED A FEW QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND MY ENGINE WAS DAMAGED. THE TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS IS OVER $10,000 AND THEREFORE EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE($5K).

VW & AUDI TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DEFECT ' CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ENGINE FAILED DUE TO TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WENT TO START VW CC AND IT HAD A DELAYED OR SLOW CRANK. WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED IT WAS VIBRATING LIKE CRAZY. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND A FEW DAYS LATER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TIMING HAD SLIPPED DUE TO THE TENSIONER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SEVERAL BULLETINS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE WHERE SENT TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND OF COURSE THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I AM DEALING WITH HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND HAS WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY YEARS AND IT WOULD COST $3000 - $9000 DEPENDING ON ENGINE DAMAGE BUT MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE INFORMATION ALSO STATES THAT THIS COULD AND DOES HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING WHICH COULD PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS NEEDS BE INVESTIGATED AND THE SIMPLE FACT THAT DEALERS, SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND VW CALL CENTER PERSONNEL ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND BASICALLY DENY ANY KIND OF LIABILITY IS EXTREMELY UNJUST.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO VW SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES SINCE 3/23/18 FOR AN ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM. FIRST IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THEN IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM, NEXT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. VW OF AMERICA IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

AT 81K MILES THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE. $5K TO REPAIR. IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AFTER I STARTED IT. I DROVE IT 15 MILES TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED TO MISFIRE AND DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WAS BAD. CAR ALSO HAS OIL LEAKING ISSUES. CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP FOR OIL PROBLEM WHEN IT THREW SEVERAL CODES FOR PVC VALVE AND TENSIONER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT ADJUSTMENT VALVE FAILED (PART #: N205) AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TIMING BELT TENSIONER FAILED DUE TO THE ORIG DESIGN OF THE PART. VOLKSWAGEN KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND REDESIGNED THE PART. BUT THEY LEFT THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER WITH THE ORIG DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN THAT PART FAILS, IT CAUSES A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. WHICH LEAVES THE ORIG PURCHASER TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AT THEIR OWN COST. THE FACT THAT THE PART FAILS WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOOSE ALL POWER REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED, DRIVING CONDITIONS AND LOCATIONS. STRANDING THE OWNER IN A POSSIBLY PRECARIOUS SITUATION THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE DIED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. WITH NO POWER IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. IF IT HAD BEEN AT NIGHT, IM NOT SURE I WOULD HVE MADE IT. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE N205 VALVE. IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT THERE IS A SCREEN THAT CAN FALL APART AND BLOCK THE VALVE FROM MOVING OIL TO THE CAM SHAFT. CAUSING THE TIMING TO MOVE AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP SAY IT IS A ISSUE THEY SEE ALL THE TIME. THEY SAID THE NEW VERSION OF THE PART IS TO CORRECT THAT. PROBLEM IS WHEN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENS THE DEALERSHIP ATTITUDE SEEMS TO BE WE KNOW ITS A PROBLEM BUT IF THE COST IS TO HIGH TO FIX, THEY WILL NOT DO ANY THING UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. THAT PUTS PEOPLES SAFETY AT RISQUE BECAUSE OF THERE UNWILLINGNESS TO FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE COMPANIES BOTTOM LINE.

REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK AT 69K MILES. I BEEN DOING A RESEARCH AND MANY CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT ENGINE. (TSI 2.0) WHICH TO MY BELIEVE IT'S DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. CAR IS FAIRLY NEW TO BE HAVING A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WHICH IS COSTING ME TO REPAIR MORE THAN $1000 DOLLARS. ALSO THE PCV VALVE IS HAVING ISSUES. WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE ALREADY SPENDING $400 DOLLARS. *TR

MY 2.0L TSI TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED CAUSING TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP TIMING AND DAMAGING OTHER ENGINE PARTS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND NOISE CAME IN.

AT 9:30 AM ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE CAR CUT OFF. TWO (2) ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER AN HOURS WAIT (FOR AAA), ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE CAR AND IT STARTED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT AND NO USUAL NOISES. THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THIS NOT NECESSARILY A COMPLAINT, BUT A REPORT FOR POSSIBLE RECALL RESEARCH PURPOSES. THANK YOU. *TR
