Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- Volkswagen is recalling approximately 5,000 my 2009 cc vehicles. Some affected vehicles may have an incorrectly routed right front passenger seat belt buckle wiring harness, creating the potential for wires to become damaged when the seat is moved fully up or down or back and forth.

What 2009 Volkswagen CC owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
Vehicle loss of power while in motion, engine stall and drained battery.
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.

Takata recall - I have received urgent recalls since april 2016...I have been driving with a known dangerous/deadly issue for 34 months...I have attempted to have the service completed, have been on a waiting list at several dealerships, was put on another one today after making another call. How does takata get away with this??? I was told to wait on fuel pump recall until airbag work.
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?
