NHTSA Complaint #11044646 — 2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC

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.
