2010 Volkswagen CC: check engine light

Filed Mar 26, 2019 · Engine · 79,000 miles · MN

The dealership said pcv valve went out and caused rear main seal to break, which is the reason my check engine light came on. The car is now leaking oil. The pcv valve appears to be fine, nothing is stuck, nothing cracked, the gasket is not damaged either. The car now has 80k miles on it and im stuck with $1800 repair bill for the rear main seal.

Engine keeps stalling, had fuel pump replace per 4th recall for this vehicle. The car still stalls, extremely dangerous while driving especially on the highway when I have two kids in the car. The car wont go in reverse like a normal car bc it stalls too, I have to turn the car off and then back off to be able to reverse. I was driving down a small ramp on in a parking garage, the car stall again. No one is able to help me and volksagen keeps telling me my engine light is on and I keep telling them it comes on when my car stalls! I feel like im in a death car, I rather walk instead of drive my volkswagen and very frustrating that I have to pay this loan when the car constantly stalls on me. Hard for me to trade in as well bc I owe about 6k and im in medical school. Can someone anyone please give me tips on how to handle this situation.

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.

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 been going at the regular speed, I believe I would have been seriously injured or dead. I need to be reassured that these recalls are done right and tested to ensure there aren't faulty parts and that safety is paramount.

Mechatronic unit vehicle in motion on city street driving approximately 40 MPH seemed as though car dropped gear, automatically dropped to 10mph, tried to accelerate, but engine revved and wouldn't increase speed. Check engine light appeared and d (for drive) began flashing on screen, pulled over, shut car off and waited. Was able to restart and drive 2blicks to dealership with d light still flashing. Dealership recreated issue and diagnosed the mechatronic unit which had previously been recalled on other dsg transmissions in the past. (2007-2009) was told my car was manufactured june of 2009, but that model hadn't been recalled. This could have killed me if I was on the interstate driving faster. I am concerned for others safety if the car can just stall out while in motion. Car has 112,000 miles, but the transmission only has 80k

When turning corners, check engine light would flash on and engine would sometimes misfire. I took it in to the vw dealership to look at it for the second time. They performed diagnostics and then went to pull the vehicle out of shop and it would not start. They determined the timing chain slipped. Thankful that this did not happen while driving as it would have been very dangerous. The dealership must dismantle the engine to determine root cause and price for proper repairs, which they are estimating as $2,000 to $5,000 - which is more than the car is worth. We took great care of this car including servicing as recommended. It had 150k miles, but we should have been able to drive this car for many more miles. Vw should have issued a bulletin for servicing this known issue and we would not have been forced to buy a new vehicle, moreover, they should have issued a recall as this could be fatal if it went out while driving.

The car is hesitating, chugging and/or jumping in slow traffic when needing to have control of the slower speed of car especially in stop and go traffic to avoid an accident. The car is also going through higher amounts of gas recently...went from 28 mpg down to 20 mpg within the past week and there has been no catalyst, no change in type of driving or anything...also my exhaust and engine warning light is now on and there is nothing wrong with my engine according to diagnostic check.

Timing chain malfunction: I was coming to a stop at a traffic light in downtown columbus and my check engine light came on and then started flashing and my car started to make a sound like something misfired. I tried to accelerate when the light turned green and the engine turned off. I tried restarting my engine and it barely started and continued to rattle and shake like something again was misfiring and turned off again. I tried to restart again and it barely restarted and I tried hitting gas a little harder to get out of the intersection and was able to get it to finally make my turn and pull off to the side of the road. Luckily, there was a volkswagen/audi shop called "motorkars" less than a mile away so I dorve my car there while the engine stalled 2 more times. In hindsight, I should have called a tow after the initial engine mishap but since I was so close I figured it would be safe enough to get to the shop. Once I got there, they informed me that my timing belt had broken and due to this, there is a potential for internal engine damage to the cylinders. They are doing test as we speak and have said they have seen a ton of these issues lately with cars with the same engine (2.0l gas tsi engine.) the shop told me they have came out with better parts as the standard issued parts were not up to par and the timing belt should usually last the entire life of the car, yet they see them malfunctioning right around 60k-100k miles. The original timing belt vw has in these engines are ineffective and should be recalled as it is dangerous to have on the road in any car.

After getting to the 100,000 mile marker. My car begin to have a rough idle from the engine bay that could also be felt from within the car. I then took my car to the dealership in which they said it was misfiring and needed new spark plugs and coils. After paying for that I pick my car up from the dealership only to find out the engine light came back on once getting home. A couple weeks after that my engine started misfiring yet again we're even a worse engine rock. Finally got it into the dealership and they told me it's a bad tensioner chain and also that my engine has been affected by that. I would think they would have known the issue was that instead of the spark plugs and coil packs. Now my engine is a goner and I'm left with a car payment with no vehicle due to the faulty chain tensioner. I believe that if they would have fixed the problem when I took it in then they could have seen my engine from blowing. All they did was did a patch up with spark plugs and coils
