AIR BAGS
TAKATA INFLATORS. I WENT AND GOT MY FUEL PUMP RECALL COMPLETED MONTHS AGO AND MY LOCAL DEALER DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY SAID IT TAKES ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE PART AND IT HAS BEEN MUCH LONGER THAN THAT AND THEY STILL AREN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON AND I SAW THAT THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR A CLOCK SPRING. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT. I NOTIFIED VOLKSWAGEN OF THIS AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL BUT HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN THE EFFECTED MODELS ARE VOLKSWAGEN CC 2011-2014. THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE REPAIRS ON MY VEHICLE. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER IS UNRELIABLE AS THEY ARE NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TURNING INTO A RESTAURANT AND HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HORN NO LONGER WORKS NOR DO THE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL.

AIR BAGS
AFTER A RECALL ON AIRBAG WAS DONE, TWO WEEKS LATER I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE A AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD ITS CONTROL MODULE FOR PODS ALL, WHICH COSTS $2,357.68. THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE AIRBAGS WHETHER OR NOT THEY GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. WELL MINE WENT OUT WITHOUT EVER BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 76K MILES AND VW TOLD ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT PART IS ONLY COVERED UNTIL 36K MILES. THIS SUPER EXPENSIVE SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT NOT BE PUT UPON A CUSTOMER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE
DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING ABNORMAL NOISE (TICKING). CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND LET THEM KNOW I WAS BRINGING IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. ON THE WAY THERE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND I PULLED OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL DAYS LATER DEALERSHIP CALLED AND TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND CATASTROPHICLY DESTROYED THE ENGINE. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CERTIFIED USED WITH 25,578 MILES. AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINE FAILURE IT HAD 62,569 MILES. THE TIMING CHAIN THAT DESTROYED THE ENGINE PREMATURELY FAILED. I HEARD ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT IN NEW JERSEY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARED MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE WAS IN THE GROUP TO BE REIMBURSED FOR DAMAGES. WITH NO OTHER OPTIONS I HAD TO TAKE MONEY FROM MY RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND REPLACE THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THEY HAD BAD NEWS. APPARENTLY AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE, THEY STARTED THE CAR AND IN TWO MINUTES THEY HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCK COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND TOLD ME THAT THE NEW ENGINE WAS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY YEAR VEHICLE 2013 CC VW IS NOT PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALL THE EXACT ISSUES I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HAVE HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THIS DEFECT IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY THE VEHICLES IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND PAID EXTRA FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS CERTIFIED USED. I NEEDED A VERY RELIABLE COMMUTE VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME SAFELY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAVING MY CAR FOR OVER TWO MONTHS, I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THE CAR HESITATED AT A STOP AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS WAS "ACTING UP". VWOF A KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE TIMING CHAIN. NOW I HAVE TO GIVE THEM MORE MONEY!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT 180K BY VW DEALERSHIP; A PREMIUM SERVICE WAS SELECTED; ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS TAKING IT IN; THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY DID TURN OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON ITS OWN WHICH THEN NEEDED TO BE RESTARTED. THE CAR JERKED AS IF MY SPARK PLUGS WERE HAVING ISSUES. HAVE HAD TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS FREQUENTLY COMPARED TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIR/CAM SENSOR (AS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP) THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING SLUGGISH BUT NORMAL PRIOR TO IT GETTING SERVICED. THE CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEARED. CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 35MI FROM DEALERSHIP TO PLACE OF RESIDENCE. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. NEXT DAY WENT TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT DID START LONG ENOUGH THAT I COULD USE MY OWN CODE READER THE VEHICLE HAD 15 ERRORS ACCORDING TO THE READER. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A MONTH BEFORE I COULD TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS SERVICED. VW IS NOW SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. CAMSHAFT IS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT . ANOTHER POSSIBILITY VW EXPLAINS IS MASSIVE ENGINE FAILURE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE IN THIS CAR'S RADIO (MODEL RNS-510) COMES ON EXTREMELY SLOWLY. IF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR MORE THAN 30 MINS, MOSTLY LIKELY IT WILL TAKE 30 SECONDS FOR THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE TO SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, RENDERING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA MOSTLY USELESS. WE HAVE MANY KIDS IN OUR AREA, THIS IS NOT SAFE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET, THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINS FROM OTHER DRIVERS ABOUT THIS RADIO FOR THIS ISSUE. VW IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS RADIO NEEDS A FIRMWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE IS TURNING OVER BUT ONLY STARTING OCCASIONALLY. WHEN IT DOES START, THE EPC AND CHECK ENGINE/CATALYTIC CONVERTER LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AFTER I HAD TO FIGURE OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...BEFORE THERE WAS A RECALLED ISSUED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. CAR RAN FINE EARLIER TODAY, THEN WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE MY HOUSE, TOOK AN EXTENDED TIME TO START. SHUT IT OFF TO SEE IF IT WAS A GLITCH, AND DIDN'T START AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART SINCE JULY 2018. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL AND CURRENTLY I AM TAKING A MAJOR RISK BY DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHICH I NEED TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.

ENGINE
I EXPERIENCED A LEAK FROM THE WATER PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT HE ALWAYS SEES THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE VOLKSWAGENS BECAUSE VOLKSWAGEN USES PLASTIC PARTS AND THESE PARTS ARE OFTEN AROUND THE HIGHLY HEATED AREAS IN THE ENGINE THEREFORE THEY FAIL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HER SAFETY IF VW IS USING INADEQUATE PARTS IN THEIR CARS. ALSO, REPAIR COSTS ARE UNIMAGINABLE, $1000, ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PLASTIC PART. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TAIL LIGHT CASINGS BECAUSE IT TOO WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND THE TAIL LIGHT LAMP BURNED INTO THE PLASTIC AND CEASED TO LIGHT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS CAR IN FOR TWO DIFFERENT PARTS RECALLS, AIRBAG X 2, AND FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, EPC AND ENGINE WARINGING SIGNS WERE ON ALL OF SUDDEN. I CHECKED WITH LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN SOLVANG, CA. THEY SAID, THEY WANTED TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL AND CHECK. AFTER THEN, THEY SAID THERE WERE LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THEN ENGINE DIED. MY CAR TOWED TO NEARBY VW DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AN ENGINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AROUND 8/8/18 I POPPED MY HOOD TO GIVE A GUY A JUMPSTART & SMELLED GAS. THOUGHT THAT WAS AS ODD SO WITH THE HOOD OPENED I STARTED THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD I NOTICED A STREAM OF GASOLINE COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (BOSCH MFG: 06H127025N SKU: 3649). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE RETAINING CLIP ON THESE FUEL PUMPS AT THE TOP OF THE CONNECTOR ARE KNOWN TO BE WEAK AND GIVE OUT CAUSING LARGE FUEL LEAKS. I'VE NOTICED WHILE RESEARCHING REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT SOME MANUFACTURERS USE BOLTS RATHER THAN A THIN RETAINER CLIP THAT GIVES OUT. AFTER FINDING THIS LEAK I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS OFF, AND AT TIMES STOPS THEN STARTS AGAIN. WHICH COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL FOR THE CONTROL MODULE THAT PLUGS INTO THIS PUMP & STATES IT COULD CONTINUOUSLY RUN, WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH BUT THEN ADD IN THAT THE PUMP THAT IS ALWAYS RUNNING IS KNOWN TO LEAK FUEL, VERY DANGEROUS.
