2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC Power Train Problems

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...

ON 9/12/13 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR LOSS ENGINE POWER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY LIGHT DID COME ON ONCE THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MOVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON THE HAZARDS AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES SO CARS WOULD NOT CRASH INTO ME. THE CAR STILL HAD FULL POWER WITH ALL CONTROLS (RADIO, POWER WINDOWS, AC, LIGHTS, ETC.). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL VW DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL CONTROL MODULE, $850 REPAIR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CC'S (DIRECT INJECTION). THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED BY THE VW DEALER ON 09/13/13. ON 09/18/13 FIVE DAYS LATER AND LESS THAN 100 MILES AFTER THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP &...

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

STICKING THROTTLE..THROTTLE STICKS AT ANY RPM ABOVE 2300. I AM GLAD THAT THIS IS A STANDARD SHIFT AUTOMOBILE WHERE I CAN ENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO STOP THE CAR. IF THIS WERE AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT CAR, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THROTTLE CONTINUES TO STICK EVEN WITHOUT ANY FLOOR MATS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE THROTTLE PEDDLE. PLACING TOE BEHIND THROTTLE PEDDLE TO LOWER RPM HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER.. *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

I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT NORMALLY IDLES AT 600 RPM BUT DUE TO EITHER ENGINEERING OR A MALFUNCTION IT INCREASES IT'S IDLE TO 950 RPM FOR EITHER AN ELECTRICAL OR COOLING ISSUE DEPENDING ON THE VW TECHNICIAN YOU TALK TO. THIS CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO LUNGE OR SURGE FORWARD REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD STILL. THIS IS A 58% INCREASE IN RPM WITH A VERY LOW STALL TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS IT IS SURGING FORWARD AND STRESS ON THE DRIVE TRAIN AT THAT RPM. I HAVE TAKEN TO VW DEALERSHIP, THE TECH AGREES THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL BUT VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA STATES IT IS OPERATING AS ENGINEERED. IF SO, THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO REQUIRE A 58% INCREASE IN RPM FOR BETTER COOLING AT TEMPERATURES OF OVER 93...
