1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2018

My car was on a large blvd with other cars in motion when all of a suden with out notice just completely shut off. This was not the first time it happened it happened many times before. I take it to the dealership to fix the problem and no results I still have the same problem. I fear for my life I feel like my car is a death trap and one day a big tragedy can occur dew to the fact that the dealership fails to provide the right service. It's an ongoing situation for many years with no results. I received a recall on June 2018 for a fuel pump control module, dealership assured me that was the reason why the vehicle was shutting off in motion they installed the fuel pump control module on July 2018 and problem still occurring.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2018

Fuel pump control module replaced and relocated on July 18th, 2018. However, on August 3rd, 2018, while driving alone in the #4 lane of the freeway, my car suddenly stopped. No warning. No chugging. The engine just stopped. Fortunately, there was enough traffic for the vehicles behind me to slow down to avoid me. I immediately turned my hazard lights on while desperately trying to get the car to turn back on. Thankfully it did within a minute or two giving me just enough time to cut across the highway to pull off to the side of the road. I immediately called the service department at my local dealership to inform them of what happened and they were perplexed and told me to take it to the nearest vw dealership if the engine light wasn't flashing, which at the time it wasn't. That dealership turned me away and told me I should be able to make it to my regular dealership. I was only able to drive about 10 more miles before my car completely shut off and would not start. I had my car towed to my regular dealership where they believe it may be the fuel pump. Since I had the recall completed prior, I am very fearful that I won't be so lucky next time. Had traffic been going at the regular speed, I believe I would have been seriously injured or dead. I need to be reassured that these recalls are done right and tested to ensure there aren't faulty parts and that safety is paramount.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2018

I just recently bought my very 1st. Used 2010 Volkswagen Cc. After I bought it, I realized that the master window switch on the drivers side doesn't work. The car is showing only 45,000 miles on it. So I would have to reach over to the passenger side door, to get the window to roll up. Also, my heater isn't working. I hear the fan running at different speeds, but only coolair coming out. On top of that, the fabric on the headliner is coming down. I found out that in order to replace the headliner, you have to get the front windshield removed to get the headliner out. Ridiculous! car manufacturers have been around for many years. Car have got faster and safer throughout the years, but the headliners still fall down. It's not acceptable! use better adhesive, better material. Take more pride in your product.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2018

Electrical power to the fuel pump control module. I lost power on a the road while in motion.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2017

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.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2017

Vehicle will stall out while driving or pulling out from a stopped position. It is very dangerous as it does this on a daily basis. My daughter had it stall out on the interstate while giving it gas to pass another vehicle. She was in the middle of the interstate sitting there and called 911. The vehicle restarted but put her in a very dangerous position on a busy interstate. There is a recall on the fuel pump and electrically that was issued a year ago -- however there are no parts to fix it they say. We have not been notified of any parts. I have called vw and they said that if I took it to a dealer for diagnosis they might could help with financial assistance. I took it to the dealer and they said there was no code indicating that the fuel pump problem existed. However, I explained that the car is doing exactly what the recall says is happening. I am so frustrated and feel that vw is putting our family at risk on a daily basis. We need this part and repair done on our car immediately. Waiting over a year when a known problem exist is just not right -- when this can put a life at risk. If the car stalls out pulling out in front of another vehicle or going down the road on a busy interstate when giving it gas to pass a vehicle is just a horrific accident waiting to happen. Numerous lives could be impacted.

9 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

When either slowing down or coming to a stop my car starts jerking , I attempt to accelerate and I cannot , my car seems to going into a neutral state. The drive (d) gear flashes so I am stuck. I have to put my car into park (p) turn off my car in the middle of traffic then turn it back on to drive. Also, if I am in the drive (d) gear and I need to go in reverse (r) I have to put into park (p) then turn it off and then move into the reverse (r) gear. This started happening intermittently, I took it to vw and they didn't see anything wrong with it. I took it to the local o'reillys and they saw a p2711 code, I took it to a local transmission repair and they told me they get a lot of these complaints and suggested I report it to you. I I also called the vw dealership in tallahassee FL where I purchased my car they told me it could cost anywhere from $5000 to $1100 to fix. In my research I saw the same thing happened in australia where a lady died because the gear shifted from drive into neutral while she was driving. I am afraid for my safety and my daughters who ride with me. Vw needs to recall the dsg transmission and implement a fix.
