I brought this car about 3months ago andrive one day ABS error so took to mechanic he hooked to machine say rear wheel driver side wheel sensor so got that changed then it gave more code say computer not communicating an also the other sensors out an tcs plus steering asst. So I went online to find out this is a common problem that vw can't even fix .but there still allowed to sale them with out a fix so now I have to guess if I have brakes or tcs an forgot the park brake has a code as well so will anybody fix this problem or do more people have to die in crash or waste money taken it to volkwagan an not get it fix to funny an lights on parked or drive can't clear codes thanks

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen cc. The contact purchased the vehicle used and was not advised that there was no warranty. The contact received an unknown recall letter from volkswagen and called walker volkswagen (8933 veterans memorial blvd, metairie, la 70003, (504) 465-2000). The dealer stated that the vehicle had no warranty left and that they would not give him back the full amount that was given to the dealer for the vehicle. While driving 60 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes seized without warning. The ABS indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The brakes were replaced once, but the failure recurred a month later. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 24,000.

I started my car (37000 miles) on a parking lot, and the yellow warning lights for ABS, stability control, power steering, passenger air bag and parking break lighted up at once. Took the car to the mechanic and the diagnostic was the ABS module went bad. I found online that is a very common problem and a service bulletin was issued, but so far no recalls. It's a very expensive problem to repair $2000 to $3000, and I'm really concern that my passenger air bag is not operable.

My vehicle first had an ABS light illuminate which caused an ABS failure. I've read this is a common problem. Then most recently I had an epc code illuminate in addition to a check engine light. This caused the car to lose RPM and start misfiring. I had to replace all 4 coils on the vehicle. While at the shop my air conditioned stopped working correctly only functioning when on the 4 position. I hate this care more than anything and can only pray that vw may find it in their heart to buy it back!!!!

I have never had any problems. Never in an accident or had anything replaced. All maintenance up to date. Started the car with no issues. Continued to drive going 35mph normal driving conditions and multiple warning lights appeared. Abs. Power steering, emergency brake, and air bag. Took it to closest auto repair to make sure nothing dangerous was about to occur. Quick diagnostic and they said all problems are electrical. Nothing physically wrong with the car and will likely need new sensors and clockspring.
