2011 Volkswagen CC: check engine light

Filed Mar 20, 2019 · Electrical, Engine · 103,000 miles · MD

Vehicle keeps misfiring. Check engine light remains on. Epc light comes on periodically after fuel pump was replaced. While driving car jerks and check engine light begins to flash. Lots of wear to tires within a few thousand miles. Breaks must be push on hard to stop. The dealership said the only thing that was wrong was a code for carbon buildup. Dealership would not provide code just a price of $1000. Spark plugs and coils were changed before purchasing vehicle. I'm certain the fuel pump was not changed. The vehicle uses 1/8 of a tank to warm up.

Bought the car used and took it to a mechanic to get it checked out. Low and behold they informed me I have a failing power steering module, rear main seal, carbon build up on the intake, as well as cracks in both front control arms. Took it to a dealer who confirmed this diagnosis and gave me a $6250 quote for the work. Car was driving fine and felt great. After taking it to the shop the check engine light was on. Car has 90k on it and was under warranty until then. All these items were neglected by the dealer.

After 87k my 2011 vw cc has an issue with the timing chain tension and has ruined my engine in less than 72 hours. I received a check engine light notification and immediately scheduled a service appointment, but by the time I got it into the shop, my engine was destroyed. Even though I never received a low oil notification, I noticed the oil was low by the dip stick and therefore added a few quarts of oil. When I got to the dealership for service the engine was almost completely out of oil and my engine was damaged. The total estimate for repairs is over $10,000 and therefore exceeds the value of the vehicle($5k).

While driving my vehicle on the highway, the computer flashed a warning that there is a parking break error and the vehicle proceeded to stop. When pressing the gas pedal the car would not move. Following the repeated ( over 6 times) shutting down and restarting of the car the parking error warning and the engine light appeared and vehicle once again proceeded to stop and no forward motion took place when gas pedal was pressed. Vehicle shut down on two major highways at high traffic/ rush hour times. Following these incidents the vehicle was repaired by sunrise volkswagen dealership. They preformed a diagnostic and replaced the fuel pump injection system. The vehicle was returned to me and a little over a month later (october 22nd) the same problem reoccurred once again shutting down multiple times on a major highway. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealer where they are currently working on another diagnostic. It should be noted that in addition to this problem, prior malfunction has resulted in replacement of the entire engine in this vehicle. I've also experienced several coolant system issues for which I have had to return to the dealership repeatedly. I am extremely concerned regarding the safety of this vehicle due to the loss of acceleration while in motion at highway speeds. Each time I'm told the problem has been resolved, I am exposed to possible highway fatality as I resume driving. My suggestion that the vehicle be replaced was rejected and each attempt at repair has proven to be unsuccessful in resolving the problems.

At 9:30 am on sunday, september 13, 2015 I was traveling down the road, and the car cut off. Two (2) attempts to restart the car were unsuccessful. After an hours wait (for aaa), attempted to re-start the car and it started. No check engine light was on prior to the incident and no usual noises. The car just stopped running. This not necessarily a complaint, but a report for possible recall research purposes. Thank you.
