2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2017

My car has left me stranded twice. It all started when my fuel pump started to leak gas all over my car. Once I got the fuel pump replaced. My vehicle ran fine on my way to the store but when I came back to my car it turned over and let me pull out of my parking spot but then died when I went to put it in drive in the parking lot. I attempted to jump my car but it did not work. I replaced the battery on 10/9/17 and it appeared to solve the issue. On 10/29/17 I drove my car up north to payson. It ran completely fine until I shut it off to go to the creek. When I came back to my car it would not turn over again. I bought a battery and replaced it yet again. This time the battery did not help get the car to turn over the only thing that showed up was an epc light. I left the car over night and came back to it the next day it started up just fine with no epc light. I took it to a repair shop and they were unable to diagnosis anything wrong with the car. I picked my car up on oct 30th. It ran fine with no hesitation up until the morning of 11/10/17. While driving on the freeway my car lost power and would not accelerate. I was able to pull it to the side of the road. My epc light, check engine light, and battery light all came on. The car would not turn over again. I reached out to the dealership and they told me to contact customer care through Volkswagen. When I reached out to customer care all they told me was to go back to the dealership and that they can't do anything for me because the recall is not complete. They have no offer of a loaner car or anything while I wait for them to fix the issue. So I'm left with a car that randomly shuts down and loses power from time to time. This is not acceptable.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2017

My car suddenly began having trouble starting. It would take a few extra seconds to start and my check engine light was on. This was after driving about 7 miles and backing into my garage. I turned my car off and decided to back in a little further. This is when the above issues began. I drove the car to an auto repair shop the following day and the diagnosis was the timing chain needed to be replaced. This particular shop did not offer this service so I took it to a different repair shop which confirmed the diagnosis.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2015

My vehicle first had an abs light illuminate which caused an abs failure. I've read this is a common problem. Then most recently I had an epc code illuminate in addition to a check engine light. This caused the car to lose rpm and start misfiring. I had to replace all 4 coils on the vehicle. While at the shop my air conditioned stopped working correctly only functioning when on the 4 position. I hate this care more than anything and can only pray that vw may find it in their heart to buy it back!!!!.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.

6 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2015

My vehicle has been a problem since I started my lease til now. I have constant problems with my light bulbs even after they are replaced they go out quickly and often. The car has stalled on me twice and cut off twice. I have multiple trips to the service center for the sme things fuel injector pump and the check engine light. This is a fairly new car. I am now stuck with the car for another five years. I will never purchase another volkwagen or refer anyone to buy one either. I would like my history to be pulled and reviewed as a audit. I truly believe I bought and lemon and it has cost me lots of money . I truly would like these problems investigated for the sake of every volkwagen customer.

7 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2015

Dead battery at 37,200. Had car towed to local service shop and battery replaced. Drove home fine and next morning commuting to work, car started shaking and bucking violently. Check engine and epc light came on. Was able to drive very slowly at very high rpm (on interstate and then side roads) to get back to auto shop that replaced battery. They found ignition coils shut down and mis-firing. Transferred car to vw motor hunt valley to see if covered under power train warranty. One coil found dead, other 3 recommended for replacement. Not covered under powertrain warranty. Thanks for your help.

8 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2014

Car drove fine in the morning. Drove it an hour later and it started to violently shake back and forth and the check engine light came one and started to blink and the epc light came on. Drove, slowly, to the dealer and was told ignition coils shut down and were mis-firing. After I picked it up, it started happening again and one misfired again. Fast forward 2 months and we had a dead battery at 4800, after driving all day. Fast forward a month and it started to shake again. After more than a month in the shop I got it back. It still shakes in the mornings sometimes. If I have to take it in again, I am sure it is a lemon. Ive never had the same persistent problem on a car in my life! needs a recall!!!!!.
