1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/31/2019

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 drove like nothing ever happened. I have two small boys and this is a big concern for me. I've read post after post about this being an issue, there has to be something vw can figure out as to what is the main cause, and surely there should be a bypass to keep the car from just shutting off while driving.

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 recall. I emailed the Audi dealership documents from your website about the recall and yet they claim the vw dealership will not fix the vehicle. I have attached a copy of the recall from your website, please let me know what my next steps should be. My wife and I have not vehicle for the last week, it is now with the Audi dealership in lakeland FL. 1recalls associated with this VIN Aug 16,2017 manufacturer recall number20ae NHTSA recall number17v509 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary on certain vehicles, there could be an interruption in electrical power to the fuel pump control module.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2016

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.

11 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2015

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.

13 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2015

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.

14 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/14/2014

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.

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.

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.

17 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2009

While driving the car it will all of a sudden just die. The brake will work to stop the vehicle and the steering locks out after the car is stopped. But after it dies you can restart the vehicle. The car has been to the dealership four times now for the same issue. The computers in the car don't leave a fault code and they still cannot figure out what the issue is but I keep being placed in the vehicle saying that it is running to manufacture specs.
