2010 Volkswagen CC electrical system problems

“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.”

“MY CAR WAS ON A LARGE BLVD WITH OTHER CARS IN MOTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDEN WITH OUT NOTICE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NO RESULTS I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND ONE DAY A BIG TRAGEDY CAN OCCUR DEW TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP FAILS TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT SERVICE. IT'S AN ONGOING SITUATION FOR MANY YEARS WITH NO RESULTS. I RECEIVED A RECALL ON JUNE 2018 FOR A FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTING OFF IN MOTION THEY INSTALLED THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE ON JULY 2018 AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING.”

“FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND RELOCATED ON JULY 18TH, 2018. HOWEVER, ON AUGUST 3RD, 2018, WHILE DRIVING ALONE IN THE #4 LANE OF THE FREEWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. NO WARNING. NO CHUGGING. THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ENOUGH TRAFFIC FOR THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON. THANKFULLY IT DID WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO GIVING ME JUST ENOUGH TIME TO CUT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY WERE PERPLEXED AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T FLASHING, WHICH AT THE TIME IT WASN'T. THAT DEALERSHIP TURNED ME AWAY AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 MORE MILES BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. SINCE I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED PRIOR, I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT I WON'T BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. HAD TRAFFIC…”

“WIRING HARNESS RUNNING THROUGH THE TRUNK AREA OF THE VEHICLE IS ROUTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT OPENING AND CLOSING THE TRUNK CAUSES THE INSULATION TO CHAFE, RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH CAUSES THE TRUNK TO OPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS TO CEASE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.”

“VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING OR PULLING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS. MY DAUGHTER HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE GIVING IT GAS TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE SITTING THERE AND CALLED 911. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT PUT HER IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND ELECTRICALLY THAT WAS ISSUED A YEAR AGO -- HOWEVER THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT THEY SAY. WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY PARTS. I HAVE CALLED VW AND THEY SAID THAT IF I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS THEY MIGHT COULD HELP WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODE INDICATING THAT THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM EXISTED. HOWEVER, I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAYS IS HAPPENING. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND FEEL THAT VW IS PUTTING OUR FAMILY AT RISK ON A DAILY BASIS. WE NEED THIS PART AND REPAIR DONE ON OUR CAR IMMEDIATELY. WAITING OVER A YEAR WHEN A KNOWN PROBLEM EXIST IS JUST NOT RIGHT -- WHEN THIS CAN PUT A LIFE AT RISK. IF THE CAR STALLS OUT PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE OR GOING…”

“MY VEHICLE HAD COMLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE IN MOTION, I LET IT ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF BY TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING IT IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE, I WAS ONLY 5 MINUETS AWAY FROM HOME. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK IN MORNING RUSH HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY , SAME SITUATION ACCRUED. AFTER WAITING A MINUTE TO RESTART IT WORKED FINE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED ON A DAILY BASIS I TIMED HOW LONG MY CAR WOULD RUN BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, IT RAN FOR 14 MIN AND WOULD LOOSE ALL MOTIVE POWER, ALL OTHER POWER WORKED FINE,LIKE LIGHTS, RADIO AND SO ON. I THEN WENT ON THE VOLKSWAGEN WEBSITE AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, COMING TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED, ON HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT OR COME TO A COMLETE STOP IN THE CENTER OF AN INTERSECTION!!! I TOOK MY CAR TO A VW REPEALER AND EXPLAINED MY FINDING AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER 20AE, THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP CONTROLL MODULE, DUE TO THE MODULE BEING BAD I ALSO HAD TO GET NEW FUEL PUMP.”
