Volkswagen CC owners have reported 2 problems related to steering rack and pinion (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After purchasing vehicle from dealership, I noticed an audible whirring sound coming from the steering system. The vehicle was at a standstill and can be heard when turning wheel to left or right from lock to lock. At first it was a faint whirring sound as if the vehicle was low on power steering fluid. However, the system is electro-mechanical. No hydraulic pumps. The sound has gotten progressively worse and the whirring sound is noticeably more audible. Upon taking it to the vw dealership, service technician says that the entire rack/pinion system has to be replaced because it is defective. Vehicle is less than 40k miles. Service tech says that this is not covered under any warranty. I have found other incidents of this make/model having the same issues, where some systems have completely failed within the first 10k miles. This is a safety issue as there may not be any warning if the system completely fails.

Steering wheel locked one time. Turned off engine and, when restarted car, steering worked fine. Took car to dealership and they replaced the rack and pinion.
