Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed and it will lose power. It bumps and jolts to life. My RPM shoots up and and down. It lags to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate it suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately.

The Power Steering keeps failing while driving. It is available for inspection, ASAP. This is a very dangerous hazard to lose the ability to steer the vehicle at any speed. I have not taken to my mechanic, yet. I have read all sorts of problems with steering since the Takata Air Bag Replacement Recall. Ever since the AirBag Replacement, many of my warning lights have been illuminated. The Dealer told me it is due to the Sensors on my Tires. I see they were previously recalled and now I have a problem with them, too. Right before the Steering Fails, I hear a gone and the Red Steering Wheel Light illuminates. I am then forced to slowly get off the road, barely able to turn the wheel, turn off the vehicle and re-start the engine to get the Power Steering to Re-Set itself. It is happening more and more often. Just went to Doctor appt Friday and it happened five (5) times going to and from Doctor (14 mile round trip). I see Dealers are telling people it is a Clock Spring and they are charing up to $ 6,800. to repair. My car only has 56,000. miles on it !!!

Hood latch prevents hood from opening. Vw knows this problem is a manufacturing defect and they refuse to repair it without a charge of $250 including the part. The cooling system has a error light glowing when there is no problem. The warning system shows various parts as malfunctroning but appears the diagnostic module is at fault.

My left tire blew out and I had no flat tire indicator on my dashboard while travelling full speed on the freeway. The next day my engine stalled with no warning of low/no oil in my car. Both of the issues could have caused a fatality or multiple fatalities when a 2012 vw cc luxury just stops with no warning. I have called vw corporate and of course they stated they cannot help me since this repair is not a recall item: however, I see tons of complaints regarding the 2.0 engine in my car manufactured by vw. This matter needs to be resolved immediately and not ignored. Vw needs to cover my engine cost at 100% they know it is faulty and to completely ignore all the complaints before mine is asinine.

The federal safety agency recall number17v509: I had my epc dash light for my vehicle turned on while driving on the highway to my job on 6/14/18 . The drive was really rough and bumpy and the exhaust was fuming with emissions from the back.I eventually got to my job, offed my car and had to get my car towed to my local mechanic on 6/18/18 where he found that the fuel pump module was faulty. He charged me $323.30 out the door for the fuel pump module and labor. I contacted vw to seek for reimbursement on 6/22/18 but was told there is a "pending recall" and that it has not become active yet so they cannot issue me a reimbursement until then. As per the federal safety agency this recall was known since 8/16/17 and it has now been nearing a year without any resolution. I am seeking to get my amount reimbursed as soon as possible and hoping that the federal safety agency will be able to assist in this.
