Summary

My 2016 VW CC (VIN: [XXX]) has a clock spring failure. I brought my car in to Riverhead Bay Motors on 2/12/2019, with the hope of diagnosing and fixing the part. They had to order the part, so only diagnosis was done. Diagnosis confirmed that the clock spring (in VW’s own words from the bill): “Upon further diag found clock spring defective”). I was told in conversations prior to bringing the car in, with corporate, if they identified a torn clock spring as the cause, a case manager would look into and consider if my car perhaps had a faulty part and the fix could be covered by Volkswagen. After many days spent waiting for the opportunity to speak to a supervisor, I finally was able to on 2/15/2019. Volkswagen is refusing to acknowledge that my clock spring issue is the same as what prompted: both a recall, and an extended warranty, and is peer to of an active investigation—escalated to an engineering analysis--by the NHTSA (EA18-003). They are insisting I pay out of my own pocket to replace their defective product. Since the supervisor was unwilling to give any info on who made the part and whether the relation was causal, I spent some time this weekend using the NHTSA as a transparent resource. What I have found is that the faulty part in my car is the same one that was involved in a previous recall, and the same one involved in a voluntary extended warranty—although my VIN is not part of either action. Much of my own research has involved the review of the many piecemeal responses to NHTSA Inquiry EA18-003. The component which failed is Part number: 5K0-953-569 AS. The part is supplied by Valeo (otherwise referred to as Valeo Robust), and appearing to be in the class CW50/2012---for the VW CC model years 2012-2016 (see below, Table one: Clock spring part identifier). According to confirmation with Michelle Stokes at Riverhead Bay Motors on 2/18/2019—part 5K0-953-569 AS is THE ONLY clock spring that is available to my car INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT DEPLOY (INTERMITTENT) AFTER USE, THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL OCCASIONALLY DISPLAY "PARK PILOT IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE". MY VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PARK PILOT OPTION.THIS DISABLES THE BACK UP CAMERA UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND THE SYSTEM IS RESET. I BELIEVE THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE CAMERA MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING A STREET MANEUVER, SUCH AS PARALLEL PARKING WHEN THE SYSTEM IS UNUSABLE THE FAULT IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO FOLLOW ANY PATTERN. OTHER THAN OCCURRING AFTER USING THE CAMERA TO REVERSE.

Summary

17V509 RECALL NUMBER ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THERE COULD BE AN INTERRUPTION IN ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY, RESULTING IN A DRAINED BATTERY AND/OR A NO START CONDITION, OR CAUSE A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THE VW RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP INJECTOR. CAPITAL VOLKSWAGON IN SAN JOSE WANTS ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS CAR UNTIL THEY GET THE PARTS FROM VOLKSWAGON. I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME ONE OR REIMBURSE ME FOR ONE UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RECALL FIX AND THEREFORE I NEED TO KEEP DRIVING THE DEATH TRAP?

THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INCIDENTS IN WHICH MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING SHUTS DOWN (ABSOLUTELY NO POWER) WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND LET IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 MINUTES. I THEN PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RIVERSIDE VOLKSWAGEN WHERE THEY CONDUCTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER INFORMING THEM OF THE SAFETY RECALL, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND DECLINED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY IF THE ISSUES REPORTED WERE RELATED TO THE SAFETY RECALL. I THEN CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS OFFICE TO REQUEST FURTHER ASSISTANCE; HOWEVER, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE RECALL WAS RELEASED. I DO NOT HAVE AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE TO USE AND I COMMUTE A MINIMUM OF 80 MILES A DAY TO GO TO WORK. MY HUSBAND IS RECOVERING FROM A HEART SURGERY AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER, WHO ARE CONSISTENTLY INSIDE THIS VEHICLE. I AM IN SERIOUS FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY'S. EVERYDAY I GO TO WORK, I FEAR I WILL BE REAR ENDED AND IT IS FRUSTRATING NOT KNOWING HOW LONG I WILL CONTINUE TO ENDURE THIS RISK, AS I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WILL BE ON HOLD FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME. PLEASE HELP!
