1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2011 Volkswagen CC

Failure Date: 04/20/2018

My car shut down while I was driving the car had fuel and wasn't able to register there was fuel in the car and was told it was the throttle body and that my converter went bad. It had all the signs of a fuel component problem. I am told the converter and throttle body damage can be directly from the fuel pump issues.

2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2009 Volkswagen CC

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

I was driving and my 2009 vw Cc 2. 0 and my engine started shacking and shut down with no warning, try to start nothing. I towed it to a local vw dealship(chapman ) I got a call the next morning stating my engine timing chain tensional was bad and I might need an engine, but for them to verify if engine is unrepairable I will need 620+tax. I called vw headquarters and spoke with someone who told me that there was no TSB or recall on my vehicle so it was nothing they could do for me . So I started serching online and there is 100 of post and informing on this. I will try calling vw back mybe someone else will help me.

3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2013 Volkswagen CC

Failure Date: 12/17/2012

The vehicle began showing signs of malfunction in August of 2012 (vehicle was leased the end of June) when it would take several attempts to start the vehicle and once started the vehicle would occasional cut off or run really rough for about 30 minutes. The engine light stayed illuminated for 2 days. I took the car to the dealer to have it serviced and after 2 days they were unable to replicate the problem. Returned vehicle to me with no resolution. Car ran fine for 4 months then on December 17th the same issues began to occur but more severe this time. I was traveling on a rural highway at 45 mph when the whole car shut off leaving no power, braking or steering capabilities. Luckily there was no one right behind me and I was able to coast the car to the side of the road. I put the car in park and ejected the key. Restarted the vehicle and limped the car back to my driveway as it would not go over 30 mph with the pedal pushed to the floor. The vehicle remained in service for 2 days and the dealership diagnosed it as a fuel module issue, replaced the module and returned the car. On Saturday December 22nd the same issues occurred again. The car was taken back to the dealership for a 3rd time and remained there for 22 days as the mechanics could not replicate the issue again. Finally the problem was diagnosed as a crack in the wiring harness and vibration was causing the wire to touch the engine and stall out. The crack was fixed with tape and the wire routed away from the engine. I do not feel comfortable driving the car to and from work as I travel on very suburban roads to get there. Volkswagen is not willing to take the car back as they feel the issue has been resolved. A vehicle that completely shuts off at high speeds is a severe concern.
