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.

I received information dated october 2017 from volkswagen of america, inc. 3800 hamlin road auburn hills, mi 48326 with a recall notice for my vehicle the federal safety agency: 17v509 stating 'under specific operating conditions, an interruption in the electrical power supply to the fuel pump control module can result in fuel pump failure and lead to a loss of vehicle motive power while driving (vehicle stall). This condition can also cause the fuel pump to run continuously, resulting in a drained vehicle battery and/or a no-start condition.' this means an engine can stall while driving and can increase the risk of a vehicle crash. This is very alarming to me, and I am concerned about my safety along with my infant son who is a passenger in my car daily. I have called 2 local vw dealerships (dorschel & ide volkswagen) in rochester, ny and have been notified multiple times that there is 'no fix' at the moment. I owe over $10,000 on this vehicle currently and have limited income so I have no choice but to keep this vehicle and drive it. I have had multiple issues with this car and several recalls. I have put over $2,200 in repairs on this car in the last 4 months for defective sensors and wiring. This new recall can directly cause a deadly accident and I am at a lost for words!

The fuel not getting to the pump has been overwhelmingly often.
