The clockspring on my vehicle is out. I know this has been a major issue and recalls with my make and model of cars (volkswagens). It is not fair that all models and makes are not included in the clockspring recall. This is a major safety issue with the airbag and horn not working.
Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed and it will lose power. It bumps and jolts to life. My rpm shoots up and and down. It lags to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate it suddenly jolts. Battery, epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately.
The clock spring on this vehicle is defective. Airbag light is on, all steering wheel buttons/controls no longer work and the horn no longer works. Online research shows this to be a known issue for this model year and beyond. Additionally, there was a recall for this exact problem for the previous model year. Further research found the following NHTSA document https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10149942-9999. Pdf as a limited warranty extension that includes this model year. However, dealer service and Volkswagen customer service have no knowledge of this limited warranty update and or that this vehicle VIN is not included. This has now made this vehicle unsafe to drive without working air bags.

Airbag non deployment after 2 service recalls. I don’t feel safe driving my children around in a car that is not equipped for safety. Fuel pump control module is not working probably even after service recall. Engine malfunctioning.
The airbag light went off in the instrument cluster. I hear what sounds like a disconnected cable rubbing against the steering wheel whenever I try to make a turn. All buttons in the steering wheel are non functional after the incident. Really concerned if the airbag won’t deploy and cause fatal or deadly injuries in case of crash. I don’t feel safe driving it in this condition.
My 2016 vw Cc (VIN: [xxx]) has a clock spring failure. I brought my car in to riverhead bay motors on 2/12/2019, with the hope of diagnosing and fixing the part. They had to order the part, so only diagnosis was done. Diagnosis confirmed that the clock spring (in vw’s own words from the bill): “upon further diag found clock spring defective”). I was told in conversations prior to bringing the car in, with corporate, if they identified a torn clock spring as the cause, a case manager would look into and consider if my car perhaps had a faulty part and the fix could be covered by Volkswagen. After many days spent waiting for the opportunity to speak to a supervisor, I finally was able to on 2/15/2019. Volkswagen is refusing to acknowledge that my clock spring issue is the same as what prompted: both a recall, and an extended warranty, and is peer to of an active investigation—escalated to an engineering analysis--by the NHTSA (ea18-003). They are insisting I pay out of my own pocket to replace their defective product. Since the supervisor was unwilling to give any info on who made the part and whether the relation was causal, I spent some time this weekend using the NHTSA as a transparent resource. What I have found is that the faulty part in my car is the same one that was involved in a previous recall, and the same one involved in a voluntary extended warranty—although my VIN is not part of either action. Much of my own research has involved the review of the many piecemeal responses to NHTSA inquiry ea18-003. The component which failed is part number: 5k0-953-569 as. The part is supplied by valeo (otherwise referred to as valeo robust), and appearing to be in the class cw50/2012---for the vw Cc model years 2012-2016 (see below, table one: clock spring part identifier). According to confirmation with michelle stokes at riverhead bay motors on 2/18/2019—part 5k0-953-569 as is the only clock spring that is available to my car information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

The power steering keeps failing while driving. It is available for inspection, ASAP. This is a very dangerous hazard to lose the ability to steer the vehicle at any speed. I have not taken to my mechanic, yet. I have read all sorts of problems with steering since the takata air bag replacement recall. Ever since the airbag replacement, many of my warning lights have been illuminated. The dealer told me it is due to the sensors on my tires. I see they were previously recalled and now I have a problem with them, too. Right before the steering fails, I hear a gone and the red steering wheel light illuminates. I am then forced to slowly get off the road, barely able to turn the wheel, turn off the vehicle and re-start the engine to get the power steering to re-set itself. It is happening more and more often. Just went to doctor appt Friday and it happened five (5) times going to and from doctor (14 mile round trip). I see dealers are telling people it is a clock spring and they are charing up to $ 6,800. To repair. My car only has 56,000. Miles on it !!!.
The contact owned a 2012 Volkswagen Cc sport. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, she saw smoke emerging from the vents. Upon exiting the vehicle, the contact heard a loud pop noise and fire began to engulf from the dashboard. There was no crash or injuries due to the fire. The air bags did not deploy. The fire department was contacted and was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot. The contact has not notified local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The clock spring has failed on my Cc causing all airbags to be disabled. Volkswagen refuses to fix this as a safety issue. I'm filing this in the event that something happens I will have full recourse against them for negligence over profit.
Engine shutoff. Timing belt issue. Electrical issues before this.
This is a 2017 with 45,000 miles and the radio is defective in that it changes channels by itself and the voice command function does not work. The navigation does not work either. It is distracting when driving to have the channels change non stop. Vw advised it would cost $1,000 to replace. Due to mileage the car is no longer under warranty. A radio should not need to be replaced so soon. In addition, the headliner inside the car is coming down. That is something that should happen to a much older car, not a 3 year old car. Vw not taking responsibility.

Vehicle trunk light indicator shows that vehicle trunk is open. Intermittently turns off then comes back on. Trunk interior light stays on. This will drain car battery if light isn't unplugged leaving people stranded. This seems like it is a faulty design on behalf of Volkswagen. Volkswagen should perform an action and remedy for the vw Cc owners affected by this problem.
Hello, just reporting that my backup camera suddenly stopped working yesterday. It says, backup camera unavailable right now. I really depend on that thing wen backing up!.
It looks like a problem with the computer system all my light and sensors came on including airbags etc. . It happens when I turn my car on to go to work.
Back up camera system faulty per volkswagon dealerships and internet- volkswagon customer care views as a radio and not a safety issue.
While driving in rush hour traffic at 43 to 50 mph, vehicle suddenly loss ability to move while engine was still running, (like it had been switched to neutral). The engine just revved as the car came to a stop on the highway without warning. The park brake light came on and the drive indicator light started flashing. This was a very unsafe condition while other drivers were blowing and yelling at me for blocking traffic. After sitting for about 7 to 10 minutes the vehicle was restarted and drove normally.

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.
Tl the contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Cc. The contact stated that the vehicle would not immediately start. While driving, the speed would suddenly decelerate and the engine stalled. The contact also indicated that gray colored exhaust fumes were present coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Hood latch prevents hood from opening. Vw knows this problem is a manufacturing defect and they refuse to repair it without a charge of $250 including the part. The cooling system has a error light glowing when there is no problem. The warning system shows various parts as malfunctroning but appears the diagnostic module is at fault.
Vehicle keeps misfiring. Check engine light remains on. Epc light comes on periodically after fuel pump was replaced. While driving car jerks and check engine light begins to flash. Lots of wear to tires within a few thousand miles. Breaks must be push on hard to stop. The dealership said the only thing that was wrong was a code for carbon buildup. Dealership would not provide code just a price of $1000. Spark plugs and coils were changed before purchasing vehicle. I'm certain the fuel pump was not changed. The vehicle uses 1/8 of a tank to warm up.

The vehicle was later taken to Volkswagen of oakland dealer, located at 2740 broadway, oakland, CA 94610, (866) 920-4215, where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000. Aw.
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.

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.
I received a recall for my fuel pump. I went and got the fuel pump replaced. Now that the fuel pump has been replaced, my car is not starting, shaking at red lights, turning off on its own, windows coming down on its own, air not working and coming back on. I was in motion backing up and my car just turned off on its on. I am at a standstill with what am I supposed to do if the vehicle had a recall- that was supposedly replaced but made the car worse.
My left tire blew out and I had no flat tire indicator on my dashboard while travelling full speed on the freeway. The next day my engine stalled with no warning of low/no oil in my car. Both of the issues could have caused a fatality or multiple fatalities when a 2012 vw Cc luxury just stops with no warning. I have called vw corporate and of course they stated they cannot help me since this repair is not a recall item: however, I see tons of complaints regarding the 2. 0 engine in my car manufactured by vw. This matter needs to be resolved immediately and not ignored. Vw needs to cover my engine cost at 100% they know it is faulty and to completely ignore all the complaints before mine is asinine.
Takata recall on November 11, 2017, I took my car to tony Volkswagen in waipahu, hawaii to replace the takata air bags. It took one whole year for their service department to get the part and get back to me. Terrible service. On August 3rd, 2018, I received a takata recall again saying it was not replaced. The name of the service advisor was 51448 aaron chan from tony Volkswagen in waipahu hawaii. This is my complaint. It was never replaced in the first place. Unethical and fraudulent!!! I could have gotten into an accident all this time thinking it was fixed.
I can only say that the car has many problems that I can lose my life and I do not have answers from the manufacturer, I only have to demand them.
Nhtsa recall number17v509: I had my epc dash light for my vehicle turned on while driving on the highway to my job on 6/14/18 . The drive was really rough and bumpy and the exhaust was fuming with emissions from the back. I eventually got to my job, offed my car and had to get my car towed to my local mechanic on 6/18/18 where he found that the fuel pump module was faulty. He charged me $323. 30 out the door for the fuel pump module and labor. I contacted vw to seek for reimbursement on 6/22/18 but was told there is a "pending recall" and that it has not become active yet so they cannot issue me a reimbursement until then. As per NHTSA this recall was known since 8/16/17 and it has now been nearing a year without any resolution. I am seeking to get my amount reimbursed as soon as possible and hoping that NHTSA will be able to assist in this.
2015 Volkswagen Cc sport. Consumer writes in regard to Volkswagen safety recall 20ae- fuel pump control module.
The trunk stopped working along with the fog lights and reverse lights on the trunk. It appears to have been happening many Cc and is a manufacturing design is faulty. Hoping that other are reporting the flaw too.
There was a recall on the steering wheel clock spring on the Volkswagen Cc. Instead of replacing the clock spring in my car, there was a temporary �rubber bamd� placed on the steering wheel clock. The following week, the entire steering wheel clock broke and the air bag light came on. I cannot use any of the functions on my steering wheel. The dealership claims that the problem was fixed according to the recall and it's nothing they can do about it.
