SERVICE BRAKES
I FOUND OUT VW HAS RE-DESIGNED THEIR BRAKES FOR A 'SOFT FEEL'. BUT THE BRAKES NOW TRAVEL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN SLOWLY PUSHED DOWN, AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL TO GET A FEEL THAT THE BRAKES ARE TAKING EFFECT. IN FACT THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER THAN THE LEVEL OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THIS IS WHERE THE SAFETY ISSUES COMES IN. BECAUSE OF THIS EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, I HAVE ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS FOUND MY FOOT PRESSING BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME. PARTICULARLY AT SLOW SPEEDS - LIKE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, OR COMING TO A SLOW STOP IN THE GARAGE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE ENGINE STARTS TO REV UP AS THE BRAKES TRY TO STOP THE CAR - NEEDLESS TO SAY IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. CHECKING THE VARIOUS CAR FORUM WEB SITES (EDMUNDS, KELLY, ETC.), I FOUND OUT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO BLED THE BRAKES AND DONE THE USUAL CHECKS AND SAID THE BRAKES WHERE 'UP TO SPEC'. BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER ADMITTED THAT THE NEW VW BRAKING SYSTEMS ARE "SOFT" AND IF YOU HAVE BIG FEET, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO REPOSITION YOUR FOOT EACH TIME YOU WHAT TO USE THE BRAKES. HE ALSO SAID TO BE AWARE THAT THE LONG BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MY "FEEL FUNNY" FOR A WHILE - LIKE THE CAR ISN'T GOING TO STOP . IF I HAVE TO REPOSITION MY FOOT EACH TIME TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID THE GAS PEDAL , I'LL END UP WRAPPING THE CAR AROUND A POLE ! HERE IS THE KICKER - I'VE HAD THE CAR A MONTH WITH 500 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES! HELP! *TR

SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY VW CC 2012, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR STILL MOVES FOWARD ALITTLE BIT. ALSO UPON MAKING A 3 POINT TURN AROUND UPON PUTTING THE SHAFT IN REVERSE THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD. THE OTHER COMPLAINT IS UPON GOING THROUGH A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU, AND SETTING THE AUTOHOLD THE CARS ENGINE MADE A LOUD REV (REVOLUTION) NOISE. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY CAR WOULD SMASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY FOR THE 10,000 MILE FREE MAINTENANCE, THEY CHECKED OUT MY CONCERNS AND SADLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
ISSUE HAPPENED AFTER INCIDENT IN AUGUST 2011 AND PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE. STEERING WHEEL WILL LOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TO CONTROLS (I.E. STEREO CONTROLS) AND CAUSES AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND HORN WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. DEALER LOOKED INTO ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED REPLACEMENT. CLOCKSPRING REPLACED IN STEERING WHEEL AND AIRBAG ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BUT STEERING WHEEL CONTROL ISSUE STILL REMAINS ALONG WITH NOT HAVING A WORKING HORN. VW USA HAD NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AS AL WIRING IS IN WORKING ORDER. DEALERSHIP REQUESTED VEHICLE BE BROUGHT BACK IN FOR A FURTHER LOOK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
8/13/11 CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING- ONCE ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. CAR TOWED FROM RESIDENCE TO SERVICE. 8/15/11 SERVICE CALLED AND ADVISED MY CAR WAS HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP WAS LOW AND GAS TANK SO IT WAS PROBABLY BAD GAS BUT THE CAR HAD NOTHING WRONG. I WAS ALSO ADVISE THAT THE CAR WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, 10 MILES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. SERVICE OFFERED TO KEEP CAR 8/16/11 AND DRIVE IT ANOTHER 20-30 MILES. I AGREED. 8/17/11 I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER, UPON ARRIVAL. SVC ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVEN AGAIN FOR 20 OR SO MILES AND AGAIN NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. SHE AGAIN STATED IT WAS "JUST PROBABLY BAD GAS". I ASKED IF THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF IT STALLING AGAIN AT WHICH TIME ADVISED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN HOWEVER SINCE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS TO JUST RUN THE CURRENT TANK (3/4 FULL) DOWN TO EMPTY. ON 8/18/11, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE GSP NORTH IN NJ DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (8 LANE HIGHWAY). TRAVELING IN THE 4TH LEFT LANE, SLOWED THE VEHICLE DUE TO TRAFFIC. AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND MOVE ABOUT 5 FEET WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I PRESSED AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE KEEPING THE HAZARDS ON. I DID THIS TO NOTIFY DRIVERS BEHIND ME THAT I WAS STUCK. TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN AT A SLOW PACE AND DRIVERS WERE GOING AROUND ME. WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO, TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR WERE GAINING MOMENTUM AND MOVING AT LEAST SPEED LIMIT PACE (65MPH) . AS I WATCHED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW A WHITE SUV APPROACHING QUICKLY. I REALIZED I WAS GOING TO BE HIT AND BRACED FOR IMPACT. IT WAS NOT FULL IMPACT AS LAST MINUTE DRIVER TURNED THE WHEEL. I WAS TOLD DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 55-60MPS. THIS ACCIDENT WAS 1 DAY AFTER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK AND TOLD "NOTHING WRONG". I ALSO NOTICED THROUGH PAPERWORK MY CAR WAS NEVER RE-RAN AS DISCUSSED. MY IN/OUT ODOMETER WAS 12 MILES... *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2009 VW CC THAT NORMALLY IDLES AT 600 RPM BUT DUE TO EITHER ENGINEERING OR A MALFUNCTION IT INCREASES IT'S IDLE TO 950 RPM FOR EITHER AN ELECTRICAL OR COOLING ISSUE DEPENDING ON THE VW TECHNICIAN YOU TALK TO. THIS CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO LUNGE OR SURGE FORWARD REQUIRING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD STILL. THIS IS A 58% INCREASE IN RPM WITH A VERY LOW STALL TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS IT IS SURGING FORWARD AND STRESS ON THE DRIVE TRAIN AT THAT RPM. I HAVE TAKEN TO VW DEALERSHIP, THE TECH AGREES THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL BUT VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA STATES IT IS OPERATING AS ENGINEERED. IF SO, THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO REQUIRE A 58% INCREASE IN RPM FOR BETTER COOLING AT TEMPERATURES OF OVER 93 DEGREES. IN ANY CASE, MINE DOES THIS IN THE WINTER AS WELL AS COOLER SUMMER DAYS AND NOT JUST HOT DAYS. IN FACT, SOME HOT DAYS IT DOES NOT DO IT AT ALL. SO EITHER IT IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE RPM ABOVE 93 DEGREES OR IT ISN'T. REGARDLESS MINE DOESN'T OPERATE CORRECTLY IN EITHER CASE. *TR

2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC, 2.0T ENGINE, AUTO TRANSMISSION, WITH JUST UNDER 13,000 MILES. WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR I CAN IDLE FORWARD WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT AFTER IT'S WARMED UP I START GETTING VERY JERKY FORWARD MOVEMENT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN D AND S, BUT GET THE SAME RESULTS. FROM A COMPLETE STOP, I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND DON'T TOUCH THE PEDALS AT ALL, JUST LET THE CAR IDLE FORWARD. I NOTICE THAT THE RPMS DROP FROM ABOUT 900 TO ABOUT 800, THEN SHOOT UP TO ABOUT 950, THE CAR JERKS FORWARD, THEN STOPS AGAIN AS THE RPMS DROP BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 800, THEN BACK UP TO 950 OR 1000 AS THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, IT SMOOTHS OUT AND STARTS ROLLING FORWARD, BUT IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH MY VOLKSWAGEN CC. I WAS DRIVING AND JUST ACCELERATING ON TO THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR DECELERATED AND TURNED OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN SEPT. OF 2010 THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ONE MONTH AND REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AS IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THIS MODEL THAT CANNOT BE FIXED. *TR

WHEELS
THIS LETTER IS A FOLLOW UP TO A VERBAL COMPLAINT I FILED WITH VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE. ON MAY18TH 2011, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ON MY 2012 VW CC SHATTERED AS I DROVE DOWN INTERSTATE 95 AS IT PASSES THRU THE TOWN OF GREENWICH. MY CONCERN IS FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY OF THE WHEEL DESIGN AND MY BELIEF THAT THE OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES CONTRIBUTED TO RIM FAILURE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 10AM ON THAT DAY THERE WERE NO VISIBLE DEFECTS IN THE ROAD AND THE CAR THAT PULLED OVER BEHIND ME CONFIRMED THE ABSENCE OF ANY LARGE POTHOLES. WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE CAR CLEARLY CAME IN CONTACT WITH AN IRREGULARITY, ONE THAT EVERY CAR BEFORE AND AFTER WAS ABLE TO TRANSVERSE WITHOUT A PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE RIM SHATTERED AND SEPARATED FROM THE CAR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND ME PULLED OVER AFTER SEEING WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS AN EXPLOSION ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE RIM. CLEARLY SHOWING PRODUCT FAILURE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, HE COMMENTED THAT HE HAS NEVER WITNESSED RIM FAILURE LIKEN THAT. THE DEALER UPON REVIEW OF THE DAMAGE CONCURRED. MY CONCERN IS TWOFOLD. ONE THE SAFETY OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE RIM AND THE OVER INFLATION UPON DELIVERY OF THE TIRES WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE WEAKNESS OF THE DESIGN. I AM REQUESTING AN INQUIRY INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS DESIGN, THE TRAINING OF THE STAFF ON PROPER INFLATION GUIDELINES AND THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FAILURE

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN SOUTH FLORIDA ABOUT 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. AFTER COASTING A SHORT DISTANCE TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY OVERTAKING VEHICLES, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT A FHP OFFICER ARRIVED AND HELPED ME OFF THE ROAD. ONCE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION.
