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.

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.

A heavy jerk and bag when the transmission shifts between 1st-3rd gears. Transmission disengages while moving but particularly in stop and go traffic. Vehicle needs to be completely shut down and restarted in order for the transmission to become fully operational again. There is also a hesitation or time lag when shifting from park to reverse before the transmission engages. The vehicle has an automatic dsg transmission. I am not the only owner of a 2010 cc that has been experiencing this problem. I contacted the vehicle manufacturer and I was told that the company's position was to do nothing. This vehicle has 2-3 other recalls on it as well. This is a mechanic issue that can occur at any moment and possess potential hazards when in motion in any driving condition (highway or street). I was told by dealership repair center that the car requires a brand new transmission costing upwards of $5,000. As stated this is a manufacturing issue and research indicates that many other owners of this type of vehicle have had the same mechanical issue with the end result of having to replace the transmission. You ask when this happened, however, it is not a particular date but continuous.

Hesitation and juttering, vibration, surging when accelerating after a stop. There is no rhyme or reason to when the car is going to act up and not accelerate as it is supposed to. Especially dangerous while in traffic or at an intersection.the car does not shift gears smoothly, it is a constant jerking while driving. The cars also rolls up to 6" when you put it in park even when on a flat level surface. The dealer kept my car for 1 month after I complained a second time, they replaced the mechatronics and also updated the software, there is no improvement or changes. My first complaint was at my first service and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem. My car is back at the dealer and has been for 3 weeks now, again, they are saying they cannot duplicate the problem and have told me the performance of the car is "normal" because of the mechatronic system. I have also contacted volkswagen corporate because the dealer has not been very helpful and they insist that the car drives like it should. I've owned many new cars and have never had the issues I am having with this car. I do not feel safe in this car while driving it. I drove another cc and it drove exactly like mine. Volkswagen needs to address this immediately whatever the issue is, seems to me it is an engineering design problem.

When car is cold, acceleration-stopping is fine. After engine is warm, take foot off brake and car lunges forward two or more times. When accelerate, there is slight hesitation then it clunks and proceeds forward, throwing passenger heads backwards. Mentioned problem to dealer at first oil change, but was told that's just the way the new transmission operates. Waiting to see if recall issued before next oil change. Love car but lunging and hesitation is dangerous!

Significant hesitation and juttering, vibration, and acceleration lag when starting from a stationary stop. Issue also occurs when starting from a slow or virtually stopped condition. Vehicle wants to cut out (engine appears to want to shut down) before lurching forward while gently accelerating. The issue is hazardous when parking in parking lots because there is no finesse on slow speed acceleration. This issue is challenging when traveling in heavy traffic at slow speeds. This issue also occurs when slowing down from highway speeds as the engine appears to cut out before recovering to a normal resting revolution. Dealership has confirmed with vw that this is within "normal operating expectations", there are obvious problems with the vehicle's gearbox that I wish vw would solve.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen cc. When attempting to proceed from a stop light, the vehicle hesitated then lurched forward. Also as he pulled the vehicle into his garage and shifted into park, the vehicle lurched into a garbage can. When he parked in front of the dealership, the vehicle rolled forward. The parking cement block stopped the vehicle from rolling. The vehicle remained at the dealership. He was advised that the cause of the failure was the dsg/mechtronics. He was told that it would take 3 days to 3 weeks to repair the vehicle. He contacted the manufacturer and was waiting for a response. The current and failure mileages were approximately 250.
