What 230 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Volkswagen Cc

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.

TAKATA RECALL - IN APRIL 2016, VW INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. TODAY (JULY 5, 2017) I CALLED THE VW DEALER, AND THE VW DEALER CLAIMS THE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG REPAIR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPT. 30, 2017. THAT MEANS I WILL HAVE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR FOR 18 MONTHS. CAN NHTSA GET VW TO DO THE REPAIRS SOONER?

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.

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?
