2009 Volkswagen CC engine problems

“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.”

“THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, I KEPT HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND THEN REAPPLY, IT EVENTUALLY GOT UP TO A DECENT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DID. WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND RIDICULOUS THING TO BUILD A CAR THAT TELLS IT TO SHUT OFF WHEN IT FIRST SENSES A PROBLEM. YOU GUYS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE!!! THIS IS THE FIRST VW I'VE EVER OWNED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD LOVE IT. WELL, I'VE HAD IT FOR 2 DAY'S AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WON'T STAY AROUND LONG IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A MIN OR SO AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR DROVE LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE TWO SMALL BOYS AND THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING VW CAN FIGURE OUT AS TO WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE, AND SURELY THERE SHOULD BE A BYPASS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.”

“RECEIVED A RECALL, I TAKE THE CAR TO LEESBURG VOLKSWAGEN, FOR FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACEMENT 10/26/2018, YESTERDAY 11/2/2018 DRIVING IN HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY, I HAD TO TOW MY CAR HOME, FROM THEN CAR NOT START ANY MORE, RECALL DESTROY MY CAR, CAR THAT WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY, "NOW WHO WILL PAY FOR ALL THIS? "ME"?”
