2010 Volkswagen CC: misfire or rough idle

Filed Jun 21, 2018 · Engine · 150,000 miles · IA

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.

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

Engine misfires when accelerating to speed. Dealer found one bad coil but I was advised to replace all 4 coils and plugs because the others coils were going to failure shortly. After the repair car's performance and gas mileage dropped and on long trips the milages and performance continues to fall the longer to run. Mpg drops by 10. No fault codes found. Engines run rough at 70 MPH and burn rich.

My 2010 cc started fine. Within 1/2 mile I noticed a shimmy, I thought maybe it was a flat tire. Then I noticed a horrible smell along with heavy white smoke coming from my exhaust. Code reader stated the camshaft sensor was bad and caused misfire to 1 and 2 spark plugs. Purchased the sensor and new spark plugs with no solution. Per a gm mechanic, the head is warped or cracked or the gasket is bad. I have had this vehicle for 9 months. I am the second owner and it has 53000 miles, but I also paid good money and to have to spend $1200 on this is bs.
