I got this car like 2 months and I had nothing but problems...the check engine light has been on since I bought the car the tire message has been on since I got the car now since this last week I have a red flashing oil. Light come on and it says low oil pressure turn engine off and check the manual something like that. Plus about a month ago I took it to vw dealer ship they fix the exhaust manifold supposedly it was under warranty or something like that so I didnt have to pay and the 2 fuel injectors they replaced also and I cant get my other 2 fuel injectors replaced untill they go out..and I guess that's why I get a light that flashes ECP when I'm driving also...so after all that I still have problems maybe even worse now with the low pressure meaning fuel pump is going out maybe I'm not sure.i do not have anymore money to keep fixing this car I bought like 2 months ago from vison motor sports in tulsa ok...they really screwed me and this is my first car I bought and that I have ever owned....help please thank you..

Engine is turning over but only starting occasionally. When it does start, the epc and check engine/catalytic converter lights are illuminated. This is happening now after I had to figure out the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced...before there was a recalled issued at my own expense. Car ran fine earlier today, then when trying to leave my house, took an extended time to start. Shut it off to see if it was a glitch, and didn't start at all.

My car engine broke down all of a sudden without giving any engine light warning. I had to tow my car to a volkswagen dealer and they diagnosed the car and said that it did not have any engine oil in it and because of which timing belt ripped off and damaged all the pistons. This was very very unexpected because it did not give me any engine light on. If engine oil is low it should have given a warning light to catch my attention. Very fortunately it happened in my community and did not happen on busy highway with my baby on board. I cannot imagine that happening with baby on board on interstate.

My car has left me stranded twice. It all started when my fuel pump started to leak gas all over my car. Once I got the fuel pump replaced. My vehicle ran fine on my way to the store but when I came back to my car it turned over and let me pull out of my parking spot but then died when I went to put it in drive in the parking lot. I attempted to jump my car but it did not work. I replaced the battery on 10/9/17 and it appeared to solve the issue. On 10/29/17 I drove my car up north to payson. It ran completely fine until I shut it off to go to the creek. When I came back to my car it would not turn over again. I bought a battery and replaced it yet again. This time the battery did not help get the car to turn over the only thing that showed up was an epc light. I left the car over night and came back to it the next day it started up just fine with no epc light. I took it to a repair shop and they were unable to diagnosis anything wrong with the car. I picked my car up on oct 30th. It ran fine with no hesitation up until the morning of 11/10/17. While driving on the freeway my car lost power and would not accelerate. I was able to pull it to the side of the road. My epc light, check engine light, and battery light all came on. The car would not turn over again. I reached out to the dealership and they told me to contact customer care through volkswagen. When I reached out to customer care all they told me was to go back to the dealership and that they can't do anything for me because the recall is not complete. They have no offer of a loaner car or anything while I wait for them to fix the issue. So I'm left with a car that randomly shuts down and loses power from time to time. This is not acceptable.

Volkswagen cc 2012 car started with fuel injectors issues starting at approximately 72k miles. Although, in 2011 they had a warranty extension on this vehicle for the fuel injectors they refused to cover the cost for me. Now, I am told the following by trend motors in denville new jersey - the place I have taken my car to for service, that I need a new engine. The following are trend motors in denville's exact words from service write-up: "check oil pressure:pressure at idle is ok. Road test and recheck warm, ok. Check oil pressure at 1,700 rpms'***failed*** az remove top end and inspect. Found evidence of lack of lubrication at cam shaft. This is causing loss of oil pressure" it has only been 1800 miles since my last visit so I asked trend motors why this was not caught with machinery to indicate a code that this issue was going on and they said a code would not pop up on this type of issue. Basically, I was told the engine oil was leaking in to the engine, so they thought it was the oil pan but it wasn't the oil pan. I had the car towed in to trend motors in denville because an oil can light appeared when I was taking it in to them because an engine light was on too. This same car also had a horn issue where the horn stopping working. I called volkswagen customer service to request a good faith payment and I am waiting for a call back. Volkswagen said there cars have longevity but it is clear they are not as reliable as other cars. I have a toyota prius with 250k miles and the largest cost I received on my toyota was when I replaced all four tires at once. If volkswagen can't go much past the warranty they should be made to say this on their monroney label.

My car suddenly began having trouble starting. It would take a few extra seconds to start and my check engine light was on. This was after driving about 7 miles and backing into my garage. I turned my car off and decided to back in a little further. This is when the above issues began. I drove the car to an auto repair shop the following day and the diagnosis was the timing chain needed to be replaced. This particular shop did not offer this service so I took it to a different repair shop which confirmed the diagnosis.
