VW IS AWARE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THEIR CARS FOR VW/AUDI/PORSCHE WHERE THE TIMING CHAIN GIVES PREMATURELY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS A CIVIL LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN SETTLED BUT THE PAYOUTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISSEMINATED SINCE IT WAS SETTLED IN 2018. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN DUE TO THERE BEING A VAST NUMBER OF MAKES AND MODELS WITH THIS MANUFACTURER YET THEY HAVE YET TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS IN THEIR CALLS. I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY REIMBURSEMENT ON COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I WROTE INTO VW TO ADVISE THEM OF MY PROBLEM AND TO ONLY ASK THAT I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COSTS OF REPAIR, THEY RESPONDED WITH "SORRY, YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED." MY CAR WAS IN MOTION MANY TIMES WHILE I WAS ON LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL OR IN THE CITY AND IT STALLED ON ME TWO TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN BEFORE I FOUND OUT THE EXACT ISSUE WITH IT. THE LAST TIME I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN TRAFFIC GOING AT LEAST 50 MPH.

INTERIOR HEAD LINER CLOTH HAS COME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND OBSCURING LINE OF SIGHT THRU REAR WINDOW. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT IT IS 10 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 73K MILES ORIGINAL PURCHASER OWNER. WIFE PULLED IT FROM GARAGE AND AS SHE WAS BACKING THE HEADLINER CLOTH LET GO FROM ROOF MOLDING. I BELIEVE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THIS THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS HAVE TO BE BACKORDERED DUE TO DEMAND AND HAD STATED THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER BESIDE OURSELVES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE TOTAL COST IS LOOKING TO BE 2K. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS SO LARGE THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAS TO BE REMOVED TO INSTALL. I BELIEVE SUBSTANDARD ADHESIVES AND OTHER MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ITEMS.
