2012 Volkswagen CC Complaint Log

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.

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

I STARTED THE ENGINE AND SAT IN MY CAR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TAKING OFF WHEN MY CAR DIED. I WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND I STARTED IT AGAIN, BUT AGAIN IT DIED. THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILED. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE ON A SAT EVENING, THEN AGAIN TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS. DEALER INSTALLED ANOTHER MODULE FROM THE OLD STOCK WHICH CAN FAIL AGAIN. VW SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME BUT THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE. I INCURRED THE COST AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM NOT DEAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE FUEL PUMP DOESN'T RECEIVE ELECTRICITY TO PUMP FUEL INTO THE SYSTEM

TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT VOLKSWAGEN WAS AWARE OF FOR 2012 CC. I'M NOW RESPONSIBLE OF PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS OF DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE.

I HAVE SPENT 1000 ON THE WATER PUMP REPAIR, PURCHASED 2 LIGHTS AT 110. AN THEWATER PUMP WENT OUR AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS.THE AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN RECALLED 3TIMES ALREADY I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN. LIKE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TO MANY PROBLEMS ELECTRICAL . WHEN THE WATER PUMP OUT THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. IT WOULD TAKE A FEW EXTRA SECONDS TO START AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS WAS AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 7 MILES AND BACKING INTO MY GARAGE. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND DECIDED TO BACK IN A LITTLE FURTHER. THIS IS WHEN THE ABOVE ISSUES BEGAN. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR ON A DAILY BASIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

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.

LETTER FROM SENATOR FISCHER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT OF LINCOLN NEBRASKA REGARDING HIS CONCERNS ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL ON HIS 2012 VW CC. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE VEHICLE BEING REPAIRED. *JS

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC FAILED UNDER NO FAULT OF MY OWN.

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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL. GOT A LETTER IN APRIL 2016. AIRBAGS NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME ANSWER. NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL AND THE COMPANY HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO REMEDY. THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN MONEY THAN SAVING LIVES/INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO? I AM CURRENTLY ON A VERY LONG HOLD TIME AGAIN AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF ACTION ON VOLKSWAGON.

THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP AROUND 50,000 MILES. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WHEN ON. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE COILS. THEY WERE CHANGE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT SAY WHAT WAS WRONG. I WHEN SEVERAL TIMES THE LAST TIME I WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT IS SKIPPING AND THERE IS DAMAGE ON THE ENGINE. THE INCIDENT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS GETTING INTO THE FREEWAY THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THEN 30MPH. IT MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO STAY ON THE FREEWAY SO I EXIT AS SOON AS I COULD.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015 AT THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA. FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER GOT THE NOTIFICATION THAT MY CAR HAS A RECALL. SECOND OF ALL, I AM GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE AND LEAVING THE COUNTRY (NEVER COMING BACK) IN APRIL THIS YEAR, AND I HAVE TO SELL THIS CAR ASAP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT WITH THE TAKATA RECALL MY CAR CAN ONLY SELL FOR HALF OF THE PRICE THAT IT IS WORTH. THIS RECALL IS NOT MY FAULT NOR MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR DEALERSHIP BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT I'M SCREWED. THE VOLKSWAGEN OFFICIAL WEBSITE SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT PREDICT WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I'M JUST WONDERING, WHY IS IT ME THAT HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE?

TAKATA RECALL I AM TRYING TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE BEEN GETTING LOW TRADE IN VALUE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SELL THE CAR. I WAS TOLD IT IS ON A "DON'T SELL LIST". I HAD OTHER RECALL REPAIRS DONE IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS HANGING OVER ME. THIS RECALL IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX YET. HOW LONG IS REASONABLE? WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM VWOA IN APRIL, 2016 REGARDING MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. IT IS NOW DECEMBER, 2016 AND MY DEALER STILL HAS NO IDEA WHEN IT MIGHT BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I TRIED TO TRADE IT IN ON A 2016 MODEL, I WAS TOLD THAT MY OLD CC WAS NOW WORTH HALF OF WHAT I HAD PAID FOR IT ONLY ONE YEAR AGO DUE TO THE DANGEROUS AIR BAGS. ALSO I WAS WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SHRAPNEL INJURY SHOULD I CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR. YOUR HELP IN OBTAINING A PROMPT REMEDY WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. I LIVE IN ALABAMA WHICH HAS A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE. I WOULD LIKE THE AIRBAG TO BE TAKEN OUT EVEN IF NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE CAUSING INJURY TO ME.

MY LEASE IS UP AND ON MY 2012 CC AND I ONLY HAVE 20,000 MILES ON IT. I WANTED TO PURCHASE BUT WHEN I WENT TO PURCHASE IT AT VE, THEY STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT OR SELL IT TO ME.. WHO WANTS TO BUY A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY RECALL WITH NO DATE DETERMINED TO FIX IT? WHAT DO I DO?

TAKATA RECALL : SOON AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED 2012 VW CC , THE PROBLEMS STARTED : AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON , AT THE SAME TIME HORN BECAME INOPERATIVE AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS BECAME DISABLED. NHTSA RECALL # 16V078, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 , MANUFACTURE'S RECALL # 69M9, RECALL DATE 02.09.2016. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE ! THE SECOND RECALL IS : TIRES - PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS ( TPM ). FLATE TIRE IMAGE ON AND OFF EVERY DAY A LOT OF TIMES PER DAY, DESPITE THE TIRE PRESSURE IS OK. DEFECTIVE AIRBAG ( INFLATOR ) ALONG WITH DEFECTIVE TPM ARE BOTH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND IN NEED TO FIX IT ASAP FREE OF CHARGE. VOLKSWAGEN OF KEARNY MESA SAN DIEGO OFFERED TO FIX THE AIRBAG AT HIGH PRICE ! DRIVING WITH THOSE PROBLEMS IS DANGEROUS ! I DID NOT WRITE DIRECTLY TO VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, BUT I AM GOING TO DO IT !

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.

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT ALONG THE MUCH TRAVELED HIGHWAYS BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS KNOWING MY AIR-BAG MIGHT NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD ARTERIAL STENTS IMPLANTED AND SHOULD I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE DEBRIS FROM A FAULTY AIRBAG COULD KILL ME. I NEED THIS FIXED OR VW SHOULD OFFER TO REPLACE MY CAR. WHAT CAN I DO?

!. 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.
