2009 Volkswagen Cc Problems

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE RECEIVED URGENT RECALLS SINCE APRIL 2016...I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A KNOWN DANGEROUS/DEADLY ISSUE FOR 34 MONTHS...I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE SERVICE COMPLETED, HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST AT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS, WAS PUT ON ANOTHER ONE TODAY AFTER MAKING ANOTHER CALL. HOW DOES TAKATA GET AWAY WITH THIS??? I WAS TOLD TO WAIT ON FUEL PUMP RECALL UNTIL AIRBAG WORK.

I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS THAT I CAN LOSE MY LIFE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS FROM THE MANUFACTURER, I ONLY HAVE TO DEMAND THEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKED AND SPLASHED FUEL AT ALL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WAS SOAKED WITH FUEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DREYER & REINBOLD VOLKSWAGEN (800-315-2288, LOCATED AT 1301 SOUTH US 31, STE 3, GREENWOOD, IN 46143) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD CATCH FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE BATTERY BECAME DRAINED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONSULTED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE.

VW IS AWARE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THEIR CARS FOR VW/AUDI/PORSCHE WHERE THE TIMING CHAIN GIVES PREMATURELY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS A CIVIL LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN SETTLED BUT THE PAYOUTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISSEMINATED SINCE IT WAS SETTLED IN 2018. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN DUE TO THERE BEING A VAST NUMBER OF MAKES AND MODELS WITH THIS MANUFACTURER YET THEY HAVE YET TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS IN THEIR CALLS. I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY REIMBURSEMENT ON COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I WROTE INTO VW TO ADVISE THEM OF MY PROBLEM AND TO ONLY ASK THAT I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COSTS OF REPAIR, THEY RESPONDED WITH "SORRY, YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED." MY CAR WAS IN MOTION MANY TIMES WHILE I WAS ON LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL OR IN THE CITY AND IT STALLED ON ME TWO TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN BEFORE I FOUND OUT THE EXACT ISSUE WITH IT. THE LAST TIME I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN TRAFFIC GOING AT LEAST 50 MPH.

WHILE TRYING TO START THE ENGINE (PARKED) ON COLD WEATHER (APROX. 20F), "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" ASSERTS AND ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME, IF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW ABOUT 35F. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES WITH SLIGHT PRESSURE ON STEERING WHEEL, BEFORE STEERING GETS UNLOCKED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER UNKNOWN ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, I KEPT HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND THEN REAPPLY, IT EVENTUALLY GOT UP TO A DECENT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DID. WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND RIDICULOUS THING TO BUILD A CAR THAT TELLS IT TO SHUT OFF WHEN IT FIRST SENSES A PROBLEM. YOU GUYS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE!!! THIS IS THE FIRST VW I'VE EVER OWNED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD LOVE IT. WELL, I'VE HAD IT FOR 2 DAY'S AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WON'T STAY AROUND LONG IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A MIN OR SO AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR DROVE LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE TWO SMALL BOYS AND THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING VW CAN FIGURE OUT AS TO WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE, AND SURELY THERE SHOULD BE A BYPASS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY ON TWO OCCASIONS RESULTING IN A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. I AM IN POVERTY AND UNABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE TO DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AROUND.

WENT TO HAVE CAR SERVICE WITH OIL CHANGE AND UPON LEAVING CAR WAS RIDING ROUGH AND FOUND OUT THAT A REAR MAIN SEAL HAD BROKE ON THE ENGINE. HAD OVER 12 CODES THAT SHOWED UP. AFTER THEY FIXED THAT PROBLEM GOT FIX, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A VW DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSE THE CAR WITH SLIPPING OF THE TIME CHAIN. THIS A HORRIBLE AND I LOOKED ONLINE WITH OVER A 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE VW CC AND SURPRISE THAT THEIR ISN'T A RECALL ON THE CAR. ITS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VW CC IT WAS VERY SMOOTH AND WORKED RELATIVELY WELL. AFTER A WHILE IT REALLY GOT ROUGH, WHEN I START MOVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR JERKS BACK AND FORTH ONE OR TWO TIMES ROUGHLY. THIS HAPPENS ON AN UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. ALSO THE CAR SLAMS INTO FIRST GEAR REALLY HARD WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP, MAKING PASSENGERS BODIES SHIFT FORWARD FROM MOMENTUM. IT FELLS LIKE I SLAMMED ON TO THE BRAKES. ALSO SOMETIMES FROM A STOP WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES BEFORE SLAMMING INTO FIRST GEAR AFTER TWO OR THREE SECONDS OF NOT RESPONDING TO MY THROTTLE INPUT. THIS HAS ME SCARED ON A COUPLE OF TIMES OF INSTANCES BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT INTO A REAR END COLLISION FROM SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR SIMPLY BECAUSE NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER STARTING TO ROLL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, AND ALMOST SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. LUCKILY I KNEW THAT MY CAR HAD THIS CHARACTERISTIC SO I REACTED QUICKLY ENOUGH TO ACCELERATE ON TIME TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MECHATRONICS UNIT AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SUCCESS FIXING THE PROBLEM BY GETTING A REPLACEMENT MECHATRONICS UNIT INSTALLED. ALMOST EVERYONE I HAVE MET WITH THE SAME CAR HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE AND VERY ANNOYING ISSUE OR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO END IN THE HOSPITAL DUE TO A REAR END COLLISION OR EVEN WORSE. IT CAN CAUSE REALLY SERIOUS DAMAGE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND ALARM SOUNDS, INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT/BELL WILL SPORADICALLY INDICATE THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT IS UNFASTENED WHILE ITS IS STILL FASTENED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT VARYING SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE NOR COULD THEY ISOLATE THE PROBLEM CAUSING IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE SUNROOF WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VW CC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW PLASTIC COVERING SPLIT BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND TRUNK AREA, CONTINUING TO EXPAND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,300.

INTERIOR HEAD LINER CLOTH HAS COME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND OBSCURING LINE OF SIGHT THRU REAR WINDOW. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT IT IS 10 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 73K MILES ORIGINAL PURCHASER OWNER. WIFE PULLED IT FROM GARAGE AND AS SHE WAS BACKING THE HEADLINER CLOTH LET GO FROM ROOF MOLDING. I BELIEVE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THIS THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS HAVE TO BE BACKORDERED DUE TO DEMAND AND HAD STATED THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER BESIDE OURSELVES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE TOTAL COST IS LOOKING TO BE 2K. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS SO LARGE THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAS TO BE REMOVED TO INSTALL. I BELIEVE SUBSTANDARD ADHESIVES AND OTHER MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ITEMS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS SENT A LETTER DESCRIBING THIS RECALL AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER TO MYSELF OF ANYONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT STATED THAT IT COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME AND THAT THE SHARDS OF METAL FROM THE BAG COULD KILL OR DISFIGURE ME AND ALSO COULD HARM OTHER MOTORISTS. PART STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND GAMBLE IT WONT KILL MYSELF OR OTHERS OR CAN I MAKE THEM FURNISH ME A VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR?

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN FEELING AS THOUGH IT IS SHUTTING OFF. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, IT STALLED TWICE ON ME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD. THE TIRES HAVE BALDED OR WARN QUICKLY. ENGINE LEAKS OIL OFTEN. THE FUEL NOT GETTING TO THE PUMP HAS BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY OFTEN.
