2010 Volkswagen CC: engine stalls while driving

Filed Nov 21, 2018 · Engine · NJ

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.

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

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 down the road on a busy interstate when giving it gas to pass a vehicle is just a horrific accident waiting to happen. Numerous lives could be impacted.

Broken timing chain/belt. We were leaving a restaurant, while in the parking moving forward the car hesitated....and then stalled. I re-started it and it was making funny sound. I turned it off and ask for help pushing it back into a parking spot. We had it towed to a local import repair shop for diagnoses, we were referred to a vw dealer and told to research class action law suite regarding timing chain/belt failure.

My vehicle had 2 recall not resolved with volkswagen. One of them is 20ae fuel pump module recall, which could potentially caused loss of motive power while in motion. I had this symptoms 5 times in a week, when I drive on the street the car just stalled. Volkswagen's dealer told me the repair is unavailable. They have no estimation how long I need to wait before the repair parts available. I definitely don't want to take the risk to continue driving my car. But alternate transportation in not provided by volkswagen.

While travelling on the highway at speed, my engine cut out and left me with no power. I was travelling up a hill so there was a dramatic decrease in speed, causing others to swerve around me as I made my way to the shoulder. Fortunately no accident occured, but I feel like I was lucky. I was towed to a vw dealership, and they indicated that the fuel pump control module had melted. Not only did this cause my vehicle to stall, but because the fuel pump control module is located above the fuel pump and tank, I was lucky the vehicle didn't catch on fire. I let the dealership know that the fpcm was under a recall for behavior like I experienced, but they did not know, and forced me to pay $998.25 to replace the fuel pump control module and the fuel pump assembly, which was damaged when the fpcm melted. I've looked up the timing on this recall and they say that a fix has not been issued due to a shortage of parts or unknown fix. This is completely unacceptable, as the fpcm that was placed in my vehicle when it was fixed is a new revision which isn't covered under the recall. It seems that they do have the parts, why has it taken over 8 months from the recall notice to figure out how to move it to a better location? This issue needs to be excalated and a fix needs to be issued promptly. Not only do you have an issue with vehicles stalling on the road, but the potential of a violent fire is significantly high.

I both my 2010 vw cc in 2017 and a year ago and I'm heaving jerking or bucking during stop and go or a delay in power when stepping on gas pedal. It's gotten to the point that I really hate stop and go traffic; I feel like I'm driving an old car with issues at the mechanization unit or at the automatic transmission. I knew it's about an issues at the mechatronic unit valve. It bucks and shakes like it's about to stall. I'm finding myself reluctant about having passengers in the car because of sheer embarrassment. It is also very problematic for maneuvering and parking the car because it can be dangerous and even cause accidents. It happens mainly in stop and go when parking/traffic. How serious does the problem need to be fixed in order for the dealership to replace the unit as a recall? Best regards.

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.

My timing belt tensioner broke causing my timing belt to break which in turn caused my engine to stall and die as I was turning in a residential area. I lost all compression in cylinders 2,3, and 4. I was told by a mechaninc I would need to have the entire engine replaced and was quoted $8000.00 to get it fixed. I have had this car for 2 years and it has less than 100,000 miles on it and I still owe close to 12,000 grand on the car. To my knowledge this is a fairly common issue with this vehicle and that volkswagen hasn't placed any recall or updated the part. I am just thankful that I wasn't on the highway or on a busy street because it could have put my life and the life of others at risk.

"takata recall" recently while I was driving on the highway, I slowed down to stop at a stop light but when the light turned green I proceeded to drive and my car was stalling and almost got hit from behind by an 18 wheeler. Now im afraid to drive my own car something needs to be done about this.
