TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NONE OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH CAUSED THE GEAR SHIFT, DASHBOARD, AND BATTERY COMPARTMENTS OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE TO CRUMBLE INWARD AND BREAK APART. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S RIGHT LEG AND HIP WERE PINNED DOWN. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND SUFFERED A DISLOCATED KNEE CAP, PELVIS FRACTURES IN THREE PLACES, FOUR BROKEN RIBS, NINE STITCHES TO THE FOREHEAD, CUTS AND BRUISES ON BOTH ARMS, TWO SEIZURES, AND A BURN TO THE FACE DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG.

REGARDING THE ONGOING INVESTIAGTION FOR FAILED REPLACEMENT OF THE CLOCK SPRING RECALL. (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA18003). TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT MY STEERING WHEEL MADE A DISCERNING CLICKING SOUND. AFTER RETURNING TO MY CAR I NOTICED AN AIRBAG ERROR AS WELL AS ALL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOT FUNCTIONING INCLUDING THE HORN. SINCE THEN THESE PROBLEMS HAVE REMAINED. I HAVE CHECKING MY VIN TO SEE IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED FOR THE RECALL BUT THERE ARE NONE. I PRESUME THAT THE REPLACEMENT CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 43 TO 50 MPH, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSS ABILITY TO MOVE WHILE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, (LIKE IT HAD BEEN SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL). THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. THE PARK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DRIVE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THIS WAS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE OTHER DRIVERS WERE BLOWING AND YELLING AT ME FOR BLOCKING TRAFFIC. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 7 TO 10 MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS STOP WORKING. TURN LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON, LIGHTS WOULD WORK FOR 3 MINUTES. MUST REPEAT TO KEEP LIGHTS ON. THIS IS BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE LAMP WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

FAILURE OF THE INLET MAIFOLD FOUND FROM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE 2 YEARS APART. ONE AT APPROX.92000 AND AGAIN AT 111000

TAKATA INFLATORS. I WENT AND GOT MY FUEL PUMP RECALL COMPLETED MONTHS AGO AND MY LOCAL DEALER DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY SAID IT TAKES ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE PART AND IT HAS BEEN MUCH LONGER THAN THAT AND THEY STILL AREN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON AND I SAW THAT THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR A CLOCK SPRING. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT. I NOTIFIED VOLKSWAGEN OF THIS AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL BUT HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN THE EFFECTED MODELS ARE VOLKSWAGEN CC 2011-2014. THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE REPAIRS ON MY VEHICLE. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER IS UNRELIABLE AS THEY ARE NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TURNING INTO A RESTAURANT AND HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HORN NO LONGER WORKS NOR DO THE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL.

DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING ABNORMAL NOISE (TICKING). CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND LET THEM KNOW I WAS BRINGING IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. ON THE WAY THERE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND I PULLED OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL DAYS LATER DEALERSHIP CALLED AND TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND CATASTROPHICLY DESTROYED THE ENGINE. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CERTIFIED USED WITH 25,578 MILES. AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINE FAILURE IT HAD 62,569 MILES. THE TIMING CHAIN THAT DESTROYED THE ENGINE PREMATURELY FAILED. I HEARD ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT IN NEW JERSEY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARED MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE WAS IN THE GROUP TO BE REIMBURSED FOR DAMAGES. WITH NO OTHER OPTIONS I HAD TO TAKE MONEY FROM MY RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND REPLACE THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THEY HAD BAD NEWS. APPARENTLY AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE, THEY STARTED THE CAR AND IN TWO MINUTES THEY HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCK COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND TOLD ME THAT THE NEW ENGINE WAS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY YEAR VEHICLE 2013 CC VW IS NOT PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALL THE EXACT ISSUES I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HAVE HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THIS DEFECT IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY THE VEHICLES IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND PAID EXTRA FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS CERTIFIED USED. I NEEDED A VERY RELIABLE COMMUTE VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME SAFELY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAVING MY CAR FOR OVER TWO MONTHS, I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THE CAR HESITATED AT A STOP AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS WAS "ACTING UP". VWOF A KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE TIMING CHAIN. NOW I HAVE TO GIVE THEM MORE MONEY!!!

VEHICLE RECALL HAS BEEN PENDING REMEDY SINCE 08/16/2017, IN WHICH MY CAR LOSES POWER WHILE IN MOTION AND STALLS. GOING ON APPROXIMATELY 8MONTHS WITH STILL NO SOLUTION, THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. BEING THAT CAR CUTS OFF RANDOMLY AT ANY GIVEN TIME AT ANY SPEED WHETHER I'M IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT A STOP LIGHT. NO FOLLOW UPS OR UPDATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN ON THE REMEDY WHICH HAS SERVED AS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS AS VOLKSWAGEN CONSUMERS.

SO NOW I'M CURRENTLY OUT OF WORK I SPOKE WITH THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CAN'T OFFER ANY LOANERS OR ANY ASSISTANCE UNTIL THEY RECEIVE AUTHORIZATION TO START REPAIRS. 8 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THEY ARE STILL NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS????? THEY CLAIM THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN SHIPPED THE PARTS????? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON AFFECTED BY THIS SITUATION IT'S A RECALL ON 281,000 VEHICLES MADE BY THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD ACT SWIFTLY IN REPAIRING THESE VEHICLES MY CAR INITIALLY WOULD STALL OFTEN BUT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE AGAIN IT'S MY ONLY MEANS ON TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE A LOAN OUT ON IT AND CAN'T JUST NOT MAKE MY CAR PAYMENTS OR MY CREDIT WILL BE SCREWED. SO AFTER DRIVING AN U SAFE CAR THAT STALLS ON THE HIGHWAYS, LOCAL ROADWAYS AND ANYWHERE ELSE I MAY HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE NOW IT'S NOT WORKING AT ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY ARE DOING ABOUT IT AS OF YET.....8 MONTHS AFTER THEY ISSUED THE RECALL AND STILL NO HELP TO THE CONSUMERS DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES

TAKATA RECALL. ALL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAY (AS THEY HAVE SAID SINCE JUNE OF 2013) THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE YET. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2013 AND 5 YEARS LATER THERE IS STILL NO FIX AND I DO NOT WANT TO DIE IF AND WHEN THE AIRBAGS EXPLODE AND SHOOT SHRAPNEL INTO MY EYES.

CAR HAS STALLED 2X WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL BUCK AND HESITATE AT ABOUT 2K TO 3K RPM AND HAVE VIRTUALLY 0 ACCELERATION. THE EPC LIGHT WILL KICK ON AND THEN THE CAR HAS SLOWER ACCELERATION BUT IT DOES NOT BUCK AND HESITATE. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND WARMING UP. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WAS DOWNSHIFTING, AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR JUST DIED. HAD TO PULL OVER AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD THEN BUCK AND HESITATE AGAIN UNTIL THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN CROSSING A ROAD AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE RECALL NUMBER 17V509 AND 16V078

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY IN SAN DIEGO, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND LOSING POWER. THEN THE EPC & CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURNED ON, ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, AND DRIVE OFF THE UPCOMING EXIT RAMP. I LOST TOTAL ENGINE POWER, AND I HAD TO CALL THE TOWING TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, AS THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAITED 5 HOURS TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AS I LIVE IN ANOTHER CITY. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THEY RECORDED SEVERAL PISTON MISFIRES, BUT AFTER RESETTING THE COMPUTER, THE FAULTS NEVER CAME BACK. THEIR INTERNAL POLICY REQUIRED THE FAULT TO BE PRESENT FOR THE COMPANY TO COMPLY TO REPLACE FAULTY PARTS, EVEN WHEN THEY HAD THE RECORDS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP ME, AND ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LIVED. I DID SO, AND I GOT THE SAME RESPONSE FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME DUE TO INTERNAL POLICIES, AND THAT I SHOULD DRIVE THE CAR AS IS, UNTIL THE ISSUE CAME UP AGAIN. I EXPLAINED THIS COULD PUT ME & MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY, EVEN POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT, NOT TO MENTION THE COST I COULD INCUR FOR ANOTHER TOW TRUCK & HOTEL EXPENSES. THEY DECLINED TO REPLACE THE PARTS, EVEN AFTER I OPENED A CASE WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT MANAGER. I EXPLAINED I WOULD HAVE TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE AS I FELT I WAS BEING A VICTIM OF FRAUD BY WV COMPANY. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP NOT ONLY NOT FIXED MY PROBLEM, BUT HE CHARGED ME WITH A CHECK-UP FEE. I COULD NOT BE MORE DISSAPOINTED AT THIS COMPANY.

CAR LOSES ENGINE POWER DURING ACCELERATION TO THE POINT IT FEELS THE CAR MAY STALL OUT. THIS ISSUE IS NOT CONSTANT, IT IS RANDOM. THERE IS NO " CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AT ANY TIME BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER EVENT. I LEARN TODAY THAT MY FUEL MODULE AND RELATED SEALS AND PUMP ARE FAULTY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF VW RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ON OTHER CC'S. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING TO SUDDENLY LOSE ENGINE POWER. PERHAPS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED?

I HAVE REPLACE TWO SET OF TIRES ON MY 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. I TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLE MAINTENANCE COPIES THAT BOTH SET OF TIRES SHOWED CUPPING WEAR. THIS IS DUE TO VEHICLE SUSPENSION, SHOCKS, STRUTS. CURRENTLY THERE A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASE THE VOLKSWAGEN CC MODEL COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS ALSO AN APPARENT LAWSUIT FILE (CASE 1:17-CV-23033-RNS), AGAINST VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA REGARDING MY PROBLEM, STATING THAT IN THE PASS COUPLE OF YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE TWO SET OF TIRES FOR THIS REASON. TIRE CUPPING CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO UNEVEN TIRE WARE, NOT TO MENTION THE SUSPENSION BEING THE MAIN PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE. IMPROPER SUSPENSION COULD LEAD TO DANGEROUS BREAKING ISSUES. AFTER READING THE MANY REVIEWS FROM CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND REPORTING THIS ISSUE TO VOLKSWAGEN TO NO AVAIL SINCE 2010. I'M ASKING NNTSA TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT ADMITTING TO. I HAVE INCLUDED THE COURT DOCUMENT THAT WAS FILED IN AUGUST OF 2017.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED 2013 VW CC FROM A DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS YEAR (FEB/MARCH 2017). I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY OPEN RECALLS OR THAT THERE MIGHT BE ONE. SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH VW DEALERS AROUND ME, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO FIXES AVAILABLE AND THAT ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT FOR THE FIX TO BE IMPLEMENTED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I HAVE CONSISTENT 1+ HOUR DRIVES AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE I RELY ON DAILY. ADDITIONALLY, I AM NOT ABLE TO TRADE IN THE CAR DUE TO THE RECALL, UNLESS I ACCEPT UNREASONABLY LOW OFFERS.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THE REQUIRED AIRBAG RECALL FIXED AND I AM STILL BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX MY VEHICLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERITAGE VOLKSWAGEN PARKVILLE (9215 HARFORD RD, PARKVILLE, MD 21234) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND MAY BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, MY STEERING STARTS SHAKING BADLY FOR 30 SECONDS. THE WHOLE CAR IS SHAKING AS WELL. AFTER THE SHAKING, THE STEERING FREEZES AND LOCKED. THE RED STEERING WORKING SIGN SHOWS UP. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL. THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED BY MANY VW CUSTOMERS ONLINE. YOU CAN FIND SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. VW DEALERS TOLD ME THEY CANNOT FIX IT AND REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AS WELL.

FROM THE VOLKSWAGEN RECALL SITE RE: STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG & CLOCK SPRING. SUMMARY: VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC. (VOLKSWAGEN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2014 VOLKSWAGEN CC VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, DEBRIS MAY CONTAMINATE THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING, A SPIRAL WOUND, FLAT CABLE THAT KEEPS THE AIR BAG POWERED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. THIS CONTAMINATION MAY TEAR THE CABLE AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG. CONSEQUENCE: A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. THE LOCAL VW DEALER SAYS OUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED HOWEVER, NOTHING WORKS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH IS ON. WHEN CONTACTING VW DIRECT I AM TOLD NHTSA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPANDING THE RECALL TO INCLUDE OUR VIN. QUESTIONS? IS OUR CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? IF WE HAVE A FRONT END COLLISION WILL THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG WORK? IF NHTSA IS AWARE OF 420,000 RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WILL THE RECALL BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER VIN? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND ALL LOGIC TELLS ME IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

I THEN REACHED OUT TO VW OF AMERICA (CASE # [XXX]) AND PRETTY MUCH RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER, THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR PROVIDING LOANERS FOR THIS RECALL.

"TAKATA RECALL"

TAKATA RECALL STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THIS CAR. I'M CONCERNED AS THIS AIRBAG SITUATION SEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS.

MY FUEL TANK HAD UNEXPLAINED DAMAGE TO THE FUEL NECK WHICH CAUSED THE NEED FOR THE ENTIRE TANK TO BE REPLACED. THE DAMAGE CAUSED THE GAS PUMPS TO SHUTOFF AND MAKING FUELING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. THE TANK AND NECK ARE ONE UNIT. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER CAN EXPLAIN HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD OF OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT NOR WAS THERE ANY SIGNS OF DAMAGE ELSEWHERE TO THE VEHICLE.

UNDERBODY PROTECT SHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS TORN OFF FOUR TIMES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE MOST RECENT (12/23/2016) ON INTERSTATE 80 DRIVING WEST IN NEBRASKA RESULTING IN PIECES BREAKING OFF ONTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WAS TRAVELING AT POSTED SPEEDS (APP 75MPH). ROADS WERE CLEAR, NO RAIN, GOOD HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND VW SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE.

WE HAVE TRIED CONTACTING VW DIRECTLY TO DISCUSS; HOWEVER, THE WAIT TIME ON THEIR CUSTOMER HOTLINE IS BETWEEN 1 AND 6 HOURS, THEY HAVE NO DIRECT EMAIL AVAILABLE AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE CHAT LINE IS OFF THE AIR.

IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 8 MONTHS SINCE THE FIRST RECALL WAS REPORTED ON MY 2013 VW CC AIRBAG. I'M DRIVING ABOUT 280 MILES PER WEEK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I EVEN WENT TO MY LOCAL SUNSET VW DEALERSHIP TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE FOR A USED LEXUS. I RECEIVED A VERY LOW OFFER FOR MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT SELL A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL ON IT WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO AUCTION. THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE LOW OFFER.

TAKATA RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN HAS NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THIS RECALL WILL BE FIXED. I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 THAT THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS POTENTIALLY A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT IN WAITING FOR THIS RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED AND IT HAS NOT. IN SPEAKING WITH A VOLKSWAGEN REPRESENTATIVE THIS MORNING AT THEIR HEADQUARTERS I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE DONE. I FIND THAT A LITTLE CONCERNING. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF OR ANY ALTERNATIVES I HAVE SINCE THIS IS A LEASE AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN JUST GO TRADE-IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM GETTING THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

"TAKATA INFLATORS" - I RECEIVED A LETTER IN APRIL OF 2016 STATING THAT MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THAT "A RECALL REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE." IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER AND I HAVE STILL RECEIVED NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NOR WHEN THE REPAIR WILL BE MADE. I HAVE CALLED VW FINANCE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL VW CORPORATE. I CALLED VW CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A TIMELINE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE IN. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LETTER FROM VW STATES VERBATIM: "TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE!!! I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR RESPONSE IS: "REMEMBER, THERE ARE 60 MILLION CARS TO BE REPAIRED WORLDWIDE. TROPICAL CLIMATE AREAS WILL BE FIXED FIRST. REPAIRS WILL GO SOUTH TO NORTH FOR CUSTOMERS, THEN SOUTH TO NORTH FOR DEALERS. DUE TO THE CLIMATE IN THE NORTHEAST THE CONDITIONS DON'T MATCH THE WEATHER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS, APPARENTLY, A COMBINATION ON HEAT AND HUMIDITY. VW DID NOT MAKE THE AIRBAGS. THERE ARE (3) COMPANIES IN THE WORLD MAKING THE REPLACEMENTS.THAT IS ALL THE INFO I HAVE, FOR NOW." UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!! VOLKSWAGEN WILL FIND THE PARTS WHEN SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!! THIS IS A TRAVESTY!!

AT ABOUT 43K MILES I WAS DRIVING ON A MULTI LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STARTED VIOLENTLY TREMBLING/JERKING THEN SPUTTERED AND TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND GET ONTO A SIDE MEDIAN. THE CAR CONTINUED TO JERK I DROVE TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY A FEW MILES AWAY. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE IT WAS NO LONGER JERKING AND ONLY RANDOM MISFIRES IN THE ENGINE WHERE FOUND ON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CAR SINCE BEFORE THAT TIME AND STILL HAS A LOW LEVEL BUT NOTICEABLE TREMBLE WHEN IT IS IDLE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED BUT THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND STEERING WHEEL TOOK THE CAR LEFT, LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED. ENTIRE WHEEL AND AXLE WAS OFF VEHICLE. LUCKY THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG OPENED AS THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON IT FOR POSSIBLE DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC, RIGHT NOW IT HAS ONLY 23,000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE CRACKING SO BADLY, THE CAR WAS IN SERVICE ON 2014 WHICH PRETTY BRAND NEW, I WANT DOT TO RE CERTIFIED THIS TIRE MAKE SURE IT PASS DOT STANDARD I WILL SUBMIT IMAGES UPON REQUEST

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I TOOK MY CAR TO VOLKSWAGON AND THEY SAID THEY PUT A COVER OVER THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ON YET THEY ARE TO JUST PUT A COVER OVER IT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DIRT AND DUST THAT GETS IN THERE IF YOUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS NO WHICH MY IS CORRECT STILL THEY ARE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CLOCKSPRING WHICH THEY DID NOT THAT IS WHY MY CAR IS STILL TELLING ME THEREGARDING IS A MALFUNCTION OBVIOUSLY SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO VOLKSWAGON THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS TEST FOR $100 WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IT'S THEIR RECALL NOT MINE WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY WHEN IT'S CLEARY A RECALL IN WHICH IF THEY JUST REPLACED IT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY FIX IT START DATE 02-09-2016 DESCRIPTION TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY REPLACE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR.

I OWN A 2013 VC CC WITH ABOUT 76,000 MILES ON IT. CAR IS AN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IS STILL PRETTY NEW WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGAN TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO PROGRESSION OF PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD OR WHILE STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT, ALL THE SUDDEN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD BEGIN JERKING AND THE ENGINE WOULD JUST REV UP AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL POSITION UNTIL EVENTUALLY SHUTTING OFF AND PARKING AND ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON. IF I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN DRIVE POSITION, THE PARKING LIGHT WOULD SUDDENLY TURN ON AND I WOULD HAVE NO MOBILITY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD STILL BE ON, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I WOULD HAVE TO POSITION IT IN PARK, RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD JUMP START BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MECHATRONIC UNIT, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT COSTS WERE $1800. THEY WERE GENERALLY UNSURE OF WHY A NEW VEHICLE WOULD HAVE THESE ISSUES, MENTIONING IT MAY HAVE BEEN WATER DAMAGE FROM STREET FLOODING OR MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE UNIT. EITHER WAY I FEEL IN A BRAND NEW CAR, THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING AND ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF.

TAKATA RECALL; BECAUSE VW APPARENTLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND REFUSED TO OFFER A TIMELY FIX TO THIS PROBLEM, I DECIDED RATHER THAT DRIVE A POTENTIAL BOMB, TO GET RID OF THE CAR, SUFFERING A SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLAR DECREASE IN VALUE AT TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY EXPLODE AND KILL ME (NICE).

THIS TO IS UNACCEPTABLE SEEING AS THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION (CAN'T RENT A CAR FOR A YEAR).

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, EACH TIME I REQUEST FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL TO BE FIXED AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR IT. I WAS JUST RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE DRIVERS AIRBAG AND KNEE BOLSTERS FAILED TO DEPLOY, CAUSING ME PRETTY SEVERE PAIN AND INJURY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW VOLKSWAGEN SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE.

THE NEARBY VW OF VENTURA DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE LOANER WHILE THEY FIX THE RECALL ISSUE AS PER NHTSA DIRECTIVES. THE SERVICE MANAGER LAUGHED AT ME OVER THE PHONE SAYING THERE IS NO REMEDY SO GO AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AS WE DON'T PROVIDE LOANERS. I'M SPEECHLESS. I HAVE A DISABLED FAMILY MEMBER TO CARRY TO APPOINTMENTS. I'M MORE THAN UPSET.

VW IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE TAKATA SDI DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, PALMETTO 57TH IN MIAMI. SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER ROLANDO WHO ADVISED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE LOANER UNLESS VW CORPORATE AUTHORIZED IT, AND VW HAD NO SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT. CALLED VW CORPORATE AT 1-800-893-5298 AND WAS ADVISED THAT VW IS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS, AND WOULD NOT TEMPORARILY REMOVE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I ADVISED THAT I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE, AND NEED A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BASED ON THE CORPORATE POLICY THAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY VW. MY COUSIN-IN-LAW HAS AN ACURA TL WITH THE SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND GOT A RENTAL CAR AT NO COST UNTIL HIS CAR CAN BE FIXED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN ORDER FOR VW TO TAKE CORPORATE ACTION. I PRAY THAT IS NOT MY WIFE AND MY UNBORN BABY! PS: WE OWN THREE LATE MODEL VW'S. WE ARE SELLING ALL OF THEM AND NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN!

2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES. WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON THE TIRES WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. THE ROAD NOISE GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND EVENTUALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO CUPPING OF THE TIRES AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND GET A REALIGNMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH THE DEALER AND THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION ANY ISSUES WITH ALIGNMENT DURING THE SERVICES. OTHER OWNERS HAD PROVIDED SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND THAT THE ISSUE HAD NOT RESOLVED AFTER BOTH NEW TIRES AND REALIGNMENT IN MANY CASES. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO BAD ALIGNMENT OR BALL JOINTS IN THE SUSPENSION WITH THE VEHICLE. I PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH VW AND THEY WOULD NOT FURNISH HOW MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WERE REPORTED BY THE CONSUMERS. VW CASE# 160380592.

TAKATA RECALL. VW DEALER SAYS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. NO AVAILABLE REMEDY TO REPAIR FROM VW.

TAKATA RECALL SINCE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT MY DRIVER AIRBAG WON'T GET ACTIVATED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY. THIS CC IS THE 4TH VEHICLE I LEASE FROM VW SINCE 2009. IN THE INTERIM , UNTIL VW AND TAKATA DECIDE ON THE RESOLUTION OF THIS MAJOR DEFECT, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY POSSIBLE INJURIES/DEATH IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT? SHOULDN'T VW BE MORE CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY WHILE THEY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? SHOULDN'T THEY GIVE ME A TEMPORARY VEHICLE TO DRIVE MEANWHILE? IT IS POTENTIOLLY A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. WHAT ARE MY RIGHT IN THAT CASE?

TAKADA RECALL WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ,NONE OF THEM. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AND HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS, WHEN I CONTACTED VW OF AMERICA THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED THEY STATED ONLY WAY THEY WOULD DEPLOY WAS IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM IT.. I WAS DRIVING AND A VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND THEY WERE REAR ENDED. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED .

POSSIBLE ODOMETER FRAUD: VEHICLE TRADED-IN TO VAN CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA WITH MILEAGE AT OR AROUND 54,300. VEHICLE NOW LISTED FOR SALE ON DEALERS WEBSITE WITH 49,528 MILES. DEALER MAY HAVE REVERSED ODOMETER TO APPEAR VEHICLE HAS LOWER MILEAGE THAN ACTUAL. DEALER ALSO OFFERS CARFAX TITLE DOCUMENT ACCESS FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS TO LOOK AT MILEAGE, REGISTRATION, ACCIDENT AND OTHER HISTORY OF VEHICLE AND CARFAX WAS UPDATED TO REFLECT 49,528 MILEAGE AS WELL AS WELL AS HAVING NO ACCIDENT HISTORY WHICH ALSO IS NOT TRUE; VEHICLE WAS REPORTED BEING IN A COLLISION ACCIDENT IS 2015.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE WARNING TO TAKE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. I DID GO, IMMEDIATELY, AND WHILE THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT TELL ME EXACTLY WHY, I WAS CHARGED $600 TO REPLACE PISTONS. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT, I STARTED TO TURN ONTO THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR SIMPLY STOPPED, WENT DARK, AND THE STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLE. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. IT WAS A LEASED CAR THAT I INTENDED TO BUY FOR MY DAUGHTER. I TURNED THE CAR BACK IN AND DID NOT BUY IT.

ENGINE STALLED AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY HWY, TWICE, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING, TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE ALTERNATOR & ONLY REPLACED THE BATTERY, IT WAS SUCH A SCARY SITUATION, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY SINCE. RECENTLY, THE CAR HAS STALLED AGAIN, WHILE IN MOTION IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER, ACCORING TO DEALER, THERE IS CARBON BUILD UP IN VALVES & COIL PACK FAILURE, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY DUE TO 'MAINTENANCE ISSUE' NOWHERE IN OWNER MANUAL DOES IT STATE ANY FORM OF MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR THIS, TOOK CAR TO INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC,SPARKPLUGS & 4 COIL PACKS REPLACED, SAME SYMPTOMS CONTINUE WITH #4 PLUG BURNING OUT,CAUSING FUSE TO BURN OUT AS WELL, FILLING CAR WITH SMOKE & SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER, IND MECH. STATES VEHICLE'S PROB IS NOT CARBON BULD UP BUT AN ELECTRICAL/ENGINE ISSUE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THE LAST TIME,VEH STALLED ON ME IN MIDDLE OF CROSSROAD, WHLE IN MOION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT OR RIDING MY KIDS IN IT. AT THIS MOMENT VEH IS SITTING IN DRIVEWAY, UNDRIVEABLE FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, WILL NOT TURN ON, ALL THIS, AFTER HAVING THE VH FOR ON LY 7 MONTHS, & @ OVER 40K MILES.I FEEL THAT EVEN IF IT WERE REPAIRED, THIS VEH IS SO UNSAFE IT SHOULD NOT BE RESOLD TO ANYONE ELSE, OR BE IN CIRCULATION AT ALL. I TRIED RETURNING IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER OFFERED TO TAKE IT IN AS A TRADE IN OFFERING HALF THE TRADE IN VALUE DUE TO 'CONDITION IT IS IN' EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AT EAST 3 TIMES WITH ISSUES. MAIN CONCERN IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION, I FEEL IT IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 12/12 AS A DEMO WITH 5K MILES ON IT. THE TIRES AROUD 9,000 MILES WERE WORN SO UNEVEN I JUST COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH DEALER THEY AGREED THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR 3 TIRES IF I WOULD PAY FOR ONE. I DID IT AND THOUGH I WOULD BE DOING GREAT WITH MY NEW MICHELIN PILOT SPORT AS3, BUT SINCE THE LAST ROTATION I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TRAIN (RUH, RUH. RUH. RUH). I AM GOING TO BRING UP THE NEGATIVE CAMBER ISSUE THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINE ABOUT AND SEE IF THERE IS A PERMANENT FIX. IN MY AND MANY OTHER PEOPLES OPINION THIS CAR IS PERFECT MINUS THIS. I WOULD THINK BY NOW THEY WOULD HAVE COME CLEAN AND ISSUED A RECALL OF SOME SORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE: 235/40R 18/95H (NA). WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, WITH ROAD NOISE ENTERING THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME IT WAS UTILIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL THE TIRES WERE OUT OF ROUND AND WERE CUPPING. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

THE PART WAS ORDERED, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. STARTED EXPERIENCING SHUDDERING AND GRINDING SENSATION FROM THE FRONT END OF CAR WHEN IN MOTION. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE CHECKED THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION OF THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HOWEVER, THEY FOUND THAT MY TIRES ARE CUPPING AND THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I BELIEVE A TIRE OR SUSPENSION FAILURE IS IMMINENT.

I HAD MY REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AT 23,600 MILES AND I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT I NEED REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN AT 37,961. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 6205 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES SERVICED BOTH FRONT AND REAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I BROUGHT MY CONCERNS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT BRAKES WITH THE PARTICULAR MODEL. I HAVE OWNED 2 JETTA'S PRIOR TO THE CC AND NEVER HAD BRAKE ISSUES LIKE THIS.. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CORP. HEADQUARTERS IN AMERICA AND THEY'RE TAKING A NO HANDS APPROACH WITH MY CONCERNS AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE BRAKING ISSUES AND IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR A CAR TO GO THROUGH REAR BRAKES EVERY 12 TO 15,000 MILES AND THE AUTO MAKER BELIEVES THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE A LOOK AT. I AM ASKING FOR A LITTLE HELP INTO THIS MATTER AS MY CONCERNS HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND VOLKSWAGEN'S SOLUTION IS TO JUST KEEP CHANGING THE BRAKES AND THE ROTORS.. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU AND THANKS FOR YOUR TIME..

VOLKSWAGEN CC HAS SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH POOR TIRE WEAR, CUPPING. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS A EUROPEAN ALIGNMENT THAT "TOES IN"? FOR HANDLING. THE TIRES WEAR POOR. THEY REPLACED ONE TIRE THAT WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE AND I PURCHASED ANOTHER. SOON AFTER THE OTHER TWO TIRES DID THE SAME THING. THE TIRE COMPANY DOBBS IN ST. LOUIS TOLD ME THAT THE VOLKSWAGEN ALIGNMENT CAUSES BAD WEAR. VOLKSWAGEN SAYS THE ALIGNMENT IS FINE. *TR

2013 VW CC WAS A TOTAL LOSS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH SEMI-TRUCK. SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, AFTER MULTIPLE IMPACTS ON DRIVER SIDE. FINAL MODERATE FRONT OVERLAP CRASH WITH GUARDRAIL FAILED TO DEPLOY DRIVER AIRBAG. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THRESHOLD WAS CERTAINLY MET FOR FRONTAL CRASH AND THERE IS EVIDENCE OF BROKEN SENSORS. THIS INCIDENT COULD POTENTIALLY BE CONSIDERED UNDER NHTSA ONGOING INVESTIGATION PE 15-010 INVOLVING 2012 VW CC. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2013 VW CC TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS HAPPENED TWICE: ONCE ON A BUSY ROAD AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST VW SERVICE DEPARTMENT I TOOK IT TO TOLD ME IT WAS THE TYPE OF GASOLINE I WAS USING. THE SECOND VW SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT MY CAR FOR ONE WEEK AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. NOW THE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS SEEM TO HAVE GONE HAYWIRE: WINDOWS RAISE AND LOWER ON THEIR OWN AND THE RADIO SCANS BY ITSELF. I DROVE LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE CAR DIED. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY. THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION AND I'M CONCERNED THAT VW IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES RUBBED AGAINST THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,891.

I HAVE HAD VW CC'S SINCE 2009 AND HAVE BEEN TRADING THEM IN FOR A NEW MODEL EACH YEAR. UPON GETTING A 2013 VW CC I RETURNED TO THE DEALER THE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF PURCHASING THE CAR AS I HAVE BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES AT LOW SPEEDS (ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING) DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE DSG TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK SEVERAL TIMES IN REGARDS TO THE SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED CHANGING (AT 36 MILES), THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH TIMES I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO GUNTHER VW I WAS TOLD BY THE HEAD SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE ISSUES ON MY CAR WERE RESOLVED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER ISSUES EACH TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC DIRECTLY HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM (EVEN THOUGH I HAD VIDEO OF THE CAR CAUSING THE ISSUE) AND NOTHING WAS DONE. NOT ONLY WAS I LIED TO MANY TIMES, BUT VW CORPORATE WAS WILLING TO SWAP OUT MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE AS I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO LOSE ME. HOWEVER DUE TO THE EXTREME NEGLIGENCE AND LIES OF THE HEAD SERVICE ADVISOR I WAS DENIED A SWAP AS HE INFORMED CORPORATE THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH MY CAR. UNTIL THIS DAY MY VEHICLE STILL STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND IS A HAZARD AND DANGER TO MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC, YET NO ONE AT VW CARES ENOUGH TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND PROVIDE ME WITH A VEHICLE THAT I FEEL SAFE TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN. I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY CARE, I WILL NEVER BE RETURNING TO VW EVEN AFTER HAVING 3 CC'S AND NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE NO ONE GETS INJURED OR DIES DUE TO THEIR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. *TR

EXCESSIVE HIGH IDLE CAUSING CAR HARD TO BRAKE. I NEED TO CONSTANTLY APPLY HIGH BRAKE PRESSURE TO KEEP THE CAR STOPPED. IDLE STAYS ABOVE 900 RPM ALL THE TIME. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING( SPEED 5-10MPH). STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED,LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR.THE COMPUTER SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY (THE SIGN WAS DISPLAYED FOR A FEW SECONDS). PUSHED THE BRAKES - BRAKES WORKED. REMOVED THE KEY AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED UP AND EVERYTHING HAS STABILIZED. *TR

UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STARTS UP NORMALLY. HOWEVER AS SOON AS THE ENGINE IS STARTED UP, IN PARK MODE, THE STEERING WHEEL INSTANTLY BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY AND OUT OF CONTROL SHAKE, VIBRATE, TWISTS, AND SHAKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THE ACT DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS FOR AN ADDITIONAL THREE TO FOUR TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED EITHER WAY UNTIL YOU FEEL IT LOCK INTO PLACE OR CLICK INTO PLACE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THERE IS VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,400...UPDATED 06-19-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED DUE TO THE FAILURE THE CLUTCH WILL PROBABLY WEAR OUT IN 20-30K MILES. THE CONSUMER STATED TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE DRIVING ON ITS OWN AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL. UPDATED 06/27/2013*JS

I BOUGHT A NEW VW CC THAT IS A 2.0T AND HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BEFORE BUYING AND JUST TEST DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR DROVE JUST FINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP FOR A WHILE, THE RPMS WILL HANG FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU LET OFF THE GAS. THIS CAUSES MANY SAFETY ISSUES AND I HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THAT ALL VW CARS MADE IN 2013 WITH THE 2.0T ENGINE HAVE THIS ISSUE. I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN IN SLOW STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. NOT ONLY IS THE REV HANG IS WEARING OUT CLUTCHES PREMATURELY AND MAKES THESE CARS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE ENGINE KEEPS THE THROTTLE OPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER WE LET OFF OF THE GAS. THE CAR JUST DRIVES ON ITS OWN LIKE IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL ON FOR A FEW SECONDS!!! IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR IN THE SNOW AND THE WHEELS ARE SPINNING AND LOSING TRACTION, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AFTER YOU LET GO OF THE GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE YOU TO CRASH. GOOGLE "VW REV HANG" MY CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY CLAIM THAT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. I THEN TEST DROVE OTHER 2013 VW CARS WITH THIS ENGINE AND FOUND THAT ALL OF THE CARS I DROVE HAVE THE RPM HANG ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED 7 CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PAST AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER CAR DO THIS. I STILL HAVE MY 2006 VW 2.0T CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THAT CAR DRIVES JUST FINE. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS ISSUE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT AFFECTS ALL 2013 VW CARS WITH 2.0T ENGINES THAT ARE SOLD IN THE US WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. PEOPLE ON THE VW FORMS BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS PUT INTO THE CARS TO HELP WITH PASSING NEW US EMISSIONS. I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BETTER EMISSIONS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THAT DRIVABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY SHOULD BE SACRIFICED IN ORDER TO GET BETTER EMISSIONS. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHOWING SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION IN AUGUST OF 2012 (VEHICLE WAS LEASED THE END OF JUNE) WHEN IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND ONCE STARTED THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONAL CUT OFF OR RUN REALLY ROUGH FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED FOR 2 DAYS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND AFTER 2 DAYS THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. RETURNED VEHICLE TO ME WITH NO RESOLUTION. CAR RAN FINE FOR 4 MONTHS THEN ON DECEMBER 17TH THE SAME ISSUES BEGAN TO OCCUR BUT MORE SEVERE THIS TIME. I WAS TRAVELING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH WHEN THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF LEAVING NO POWER, BRAKING OR STEERING CAPABILITIES. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE RIGHT BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND EJECTED THE KEY. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND LIMPED THE CAR BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY AS IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH WITH THE PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN SERVICE FOR 2 DAYS AND THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A FUEL MODULE ISSUE, REPLACED THE MODULE AND RETURNED THE CAR. ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 22ND THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 3RD TIME AND REMAINED THERE FOR 22 DAYS AS THE MECHANICS COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AGAIN. FINALLY THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CRACK IN THE WIRING HARNESS AND VIBRATION WAS CAUSING THE WIRE TO TOUCH THE ENGINE AND STALL OUT. THE CRACK WAS FIXED WITH TAPE AND THE WIRE ROUTED AWAY FROM THE ENGINE. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR TO AND FROM WORK AS I TRAVEL ON VERY SUBURBAN ROADS TO GET THERE. VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AS THEY FEEL THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. A VEHICLE THAT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A SEVERE CONCERN. *TR

I FOUND OUT VW HAS RE-DESIGNED THEIR BRAKES FOR A 'SOFT FEEL'. BUT THE BRAKES NOW TRAVEL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN SLOWLY PUSHED DOWN, AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL TO GET A FEEL THAT THE BRAKES ARE TAKING EFFECT. IN FACT THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER THAN THE LEVEL OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THIS IS WHERE THE SAFETY ISSUES COMES IN. BECAUSE OF THIS EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, I HAVE ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS FOUND MY FOOT PRESSING BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME. PARTICULARLY AT SLOW SPEEDS - LIKE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR COMING TO A SLOW STOP IN THE GARAGE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE ENGINE STARTS TO REV UP AS THE BRAKES TRY TO STOP THE CAR - NEEDLESS TO SAY IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. CHECKING THE VARIOUS CAR FORUM WEB SITES (EDMUNDS, KELLY, ETC.), I FOUND OUT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO BLED THE BRAKES AND DONE THE USUAL CHECKS AND SAID THE BRAKES WHERE 'UP TO SPEC'. BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER ADMITTED THAT THE NEW VW BRAKING SYSTEMS ARE "SOFT" AND IF YOU HAVE BIG FEET, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO REPOSITION YOUR FOOT EACH TIME YOU WHAT TO USE THE BRAKES. HE ALSO SAID TO BE AWARE THAT THE LONG BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MY "FEEL FUNNY" FOR A WHILE - LIKE THE CAR ISN'T GOING TO STOP . IF I HAVE TO REPOSITION MY FOOT EACH TIME TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID THE GAS PEDAL , I'LL END UP WRAPPING THE CAR AROUND A POLE ! HERE IS THE KICKER - I'VE HAD THE CAR A MONTH WITH 500 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES! HELP! *TR
