NHTSA Complaint #11055799 — 2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC

THE "STEERING COLUMN LOCK DEFECTIVE" MESSAGE IS COMMON IN THE 2009-2010 VW CC MODEL, VW ISSUED A RECALL THAT EXPIRED ON FEBRUARY 28, 2013. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL IN TRANSIT. VW SHOULD ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND TO ENSURE HUMAN SAFETY. MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO DISPLAY THE MESSAGE WHEN THE SEASON CHANGED, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S A COMMON ISSUE THAT VW FAILS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND INSTEAD SHIFTS THE COSTS OF A KNOWN DEFECT TO ITS CUSTOMERS.
