NHTSA Complaint #11030453 — 2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC

I HAVE A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC SPORT WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN 91872 MILES ON IT. I WAS ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. THE EPC LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ONE. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD SLUGGISH ACCELERATION SINCE THEN. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH SEVERAL VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS. THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO BE COMMON IS THAT IT OCCURRED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE OTHER THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ONE VEHICLE IN THE VOLKSWAGEN LINE UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY DEFECT IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. I AM AWARE OF NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V509 (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20AE). THIS RECALL IS FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A NO START CONDITION OR A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE EPC WARNING LIGHT HAS THE SAME SAFETY RISK AS THIS RECALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
