2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC Engine Problems

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...

VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE STALL AND DRAINED BATTERY.

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...

2009 VW CC, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER CAUSES TIMING CHAIN TO SLIP... VW REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN LASTS THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR THE TIMING CHAIN. THEY FAIL TO ADVISE/DISCLOSE/OR SUGGEST THE TENSIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED AT ANY POINT. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2011 AND HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY DURING SERVICING FOR TIMING TO BE CHECKED OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND DEALER NEVER SUGGESTED THAT THE TENSIONERS SHOULD BE CHECKED AS SUPPOSEDLY THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST LIFE OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVERY SINCE THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS IN MY CAR AND WAS TOLD IT WILL BE $5300 TO FIX BUT SUGGESTED I JUST GET A NEW MOTOR. WHY BUY A USED MOTOR IF THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. VW IS AWARE OF THE...

ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2017, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR VOLKSWAGEN CC LUXURY 2009, AND IT LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION, SHE CRASHED INTO A DRESSER IN OUR GARAGE AND AND DAMAGED THE DRYWALL OF OUR HOME. WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE BECAUSE WE JUST HAD PURCHASED THIS CAR ON LABOR DAY 2017, FROM THE AUDI DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL, AND DURING THE CLAIM WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS OPEN RECALL HAD NOT BEEN FIXED. SO I CONTACTED THE AUDI DEALERSHIP AND THEY RETRIEVED WITH A PROMISE TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THE VW DEALERSHIP IN LAKE LAND FLORIDA, SINCE THIS WAS THE MANUFACTURERS DEALERSHIP. WELL TODAY I WAS TOLD BY THE AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT THE VW DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON 209 S LAKE PARKER AVENUE, LAKE LAND, FL 33801SAID THE NHTSA WEBSITE RECALL WAS WRONG AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE SO THEY CANNOT FIX A VEHICLE WITHOUT AN ACTIVE...

TAKATA RECALL... HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO RIDE AROUND IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THE RECALL WENT OUT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AND HERE IT IS JULY WITH NO REMEDY. I NEED A LOANER VEHICLE OR A NEW VEHICLE FOR THIS DEATH TRAP I HAVE. I HAVE A TERRIBLE GAS LEAK IN MY FUEL LINE. THE GAS SMELL HAS MOVED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND IT. NOT ONLY IS THE SMELL EXTREMELY STRONG, BUT THE GAS LEAK IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. INSURANCE COMPANIES TOTAL VEHICLES WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BUT VOLKSWAGEN THINKS IT'S OKAY FOR US TO RIDE AROUND IN VEHICLES WITH FAULTY, LIFE THREATENING AIRBAGS AND FAULTY FUEL LINES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON SO MANY LEVELS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

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.

YESTERDAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE VW DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE THE EPC AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAD TO HAVE 3 IGNITION COILS AND 4 SPARK PLUGS REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AT THE VW DEALERSHIP AND THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATED. TODAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON BUT WENT OFF AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING AND LOST POWER AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR SHUDDERED A BIT AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

THE EPC AND ENGINE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON EVEN AFTER I HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. IN ONE INSTANCE, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO THE VW DEALERSHIP, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. TRAFFIC WAS SPARSE, SO I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AT THE VW DEALERSHIP, I HAD 3 OF THE COILS AND 4 SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. ON THE SAME DAY THAT I HAD THEM REPLACED THE EPC AND THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON, THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE INFORMATION CONSOLE STATING THAT THE ENGINE SHOULD BE SERVICED, AND THE CAR POWERED OFF. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2009 CC FROM BUENA PARK NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA, IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND PUT IN JUST 6000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON BEVERLY BL ON JULY 27TH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION.FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE. AFTER CHECKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY OR WHATEVER....I STARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 3 BLOCKS TO WORK BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH P2293 LOW FUEL PRESSURE. HE SAID IT WAS DRIVE ABLE BUT THAT ONE DAY IT MAY NOT START. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE CAR HAS STALLED 8 OTHER TIMES TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE LAST ONE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY WIFE AND MY 87 YEAR OLD MOTHER...

I WAS DRIVING AND MY 2009 VW CC 2.0 AND MY ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING, TRY TO START NOTHING. I TOWED IT TO A LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP(CHAPMAN ) I GOT A CALL THE NEXT MORNING STATING MY ENGINE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONAL WAS BAD AND I MIGHT NEED AN ENGINE, BUT FOR THEM TO VERIFY IF ENGINE IS UNREPAIRABLE I WILL NEED 620+TAX. I CALLED VW HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO TSB OR RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SO IT WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME . SO I STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE AND THERE IS 100 OF POST AND INFORMING ON THIS. I WILL TRY CALLING VW BACK MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL HELP ME. *TR

I HAVE I CODE P2293 WHICH STALLS MY CAR .... I SEE ALL THE OTHER VW OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DON'T KNOW IF VW SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THEY OWN EXPENSES OR WHAT TO DO??? *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CC THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR A LONG TIME 1-1 1/2 HRS THE CAR BOGGS DOWN AND DIES AT LOW SPEED OR COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURANCE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A FUEL PUMP. IN 2-3 DAYS THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT CODE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FUEL PUMP BUT THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO AS IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TT

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CC AFTER I BROUGHT FROM A DEALERSHIP FOR 18 DAYS, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT ONE NIGHT AT A SPEED OF 60MPH, WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS FINE BUT AFTER 7 MINUTES, THE CAR HAS NO RESPONSE WHILE I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT SHOWED UP, RPM AND SPEED SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. I PULL OVER AND I RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 400 YARDS AND CAR DIE, I HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING AND THEY FOUND OUT THE CAR HAS A BAD FUEL PUMP AND BAD FUEL INTAKE AND HAS TO REPLACE FOR $1500. *TR

AS WE WERE PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED, BUT THE CAR REVVED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. *TR
