What 230 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Volkswagen Cc

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 HAS 47500 MILES AND ALL SERVICES ARE DONE AT SCHEDULED INTERVALS. WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOWER TIMING COVER & TENSIONER NEED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH UPPER TIMING COVER & CAM GIRDLE. COST IS OVER $2000. THIS SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE WITH THIS MANY MILES.

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. I CALLED VW HEADQUARTERS THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO SALVAGE THE DAMAGE

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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

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.

TRIED TO START THE CAR AND THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAULTED CAUSING THE VALVES TO BREAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF PARKED ON A CITY STREET AND NOT IN MOTION.

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. VW WARNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DO NOT DRIVE BECAUSE ENGINE CAN FAIL COMPLETELY. VW WILL NOT COVER THE FAULTY CHAIN. 2 CHAINS UNDER 120000 MILES, WHICH MANUAL SAYS WILL NOT NEED SERVICE UNTIL 120000.

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

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.

NHTSA ODI 11073343

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.

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.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11030379

THE CAR IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED - IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO MORE OR TOO MUCH GAS COMING INTO THE ENGINE. I HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED ALREADY ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO REAPPEAR - I USUALLY TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL THE ENGINE SEEMS TO OPERATE PROPERLY - THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE IF SOMEONE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM WERE TO DRIVE THE CAR

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.
