Driving home on the freeway the engine started making abnormal noise (ticking). Called the dealership where I purchased the car and let them know I was bringing it in to be checked out. On the way there the engine stopped running and I pulled over and had it towed to the dealership. Several days later dealership called and told me the timing chain broke and catastrophicly destroyed the engine. Purchased the vehicle certified used with 25,578 miles. At the time of the engine failure it had 62,569 miles. The timing chain that destroyed the engine prematurely failed. I heard about a class action lawsuit settlement in new jersey for this problem and it appeared my make and model vehicle was in the group to be reimbursed for damages. With no other options I had to take money from my retirement savings and replace the engine. After about one month I received a text from the dealership saying they had bad news. Apparently after replacing the engine, they started the car and in two minutes they heard an abnormal knock coming from the engine and told me that the new engine was going to need to be replaced. Now I just found out that my year vehicle 2013 cc vw is not part of the class action lawsuit. All the exact issues I have been reading about have happened to my vehicle. Obviously this defect is not limited to only the vehicles in the class action lawsuit. I purchased this vehicle and paid extra for it because it was certified used. I needed a very reliable commute vehicle to get to work and back home safely. After the dealership having my car for over two months, I was driving a couple days later and the car hesitated at a stop and the service engine light came on. Had it towed back to the dealership and they told me one of the fuel injectors was "acting up". Vwof a knew about this problem and should have recalled the timing chain. Now I have to give them more money!!!

While traveling on the freeway in san diego, my car started shaking and losing power. Then the epc & check engine lights turned on, on the dashboard. I was barely able to pull over to the shoulder, and drive off the upcoming exit ramp. I lost total engine power, and I had to call the towing truck to take me to the closest dealership, as the car is still under warranty. I waited 5 hours to find out what was happening, as I live in another city. The dealership technician told me that they recorded several piston misfires, but after resetting the computer, the faults never came back. Their internal policy required the fault to be present for the company to comply to replace faulty parts, even when they had the records. They told me they could not help me, and advised to take the car and drive it to the dealership where I lived. I did so, and I got the same response from my local dealership. They told me they would not help me due to internal policies, and that I should drive the car as is, until the issue came up again. I explained this could put me & my family at risk of injury, even possible death due to a highway accident, not to mention the cost I could incur for another tow truck & hotel expenses. They declined to replace the parts, even after I opened a case with their customer support manager. I explained I would have to seek legal advice as I felt I was being a victim of fraud by wv company. The local dealership not only not fixed my problem, but he charged me with a check-up fee. I could not be more dissapointed at this company.

Car loses engine power during acceleration to the point it feels the car may stall out. This issue is not constant, it is random. There is no " check engine" light at any time before, during, or after event. I learn today that my fuel module and related seals and pump are faulty and need to be replaced but my VIN is not part of vw recall for this very same issue on other cc's. This is a dangerous problem when driving to suddenly lose engine power. Perhaps the recall needs to be expanded?

While driving at about 45 MPH the engine light came on with the warning to take car to the dealer for service immediately. I did go, immediately, and while the service manager could not tell me exactly why, I was charged $600 to replace pistons. About two months later while driving slowly in a parking lot, I started to turn onto the driveway and the car simply stopped, went dark, and the steering became impossible. After trying several times and then sitting for about 5 minutes the car started again. It was a leased car that I intended to buy for my daughter. I turned the car back in and did not buy it.

The vehicle began showing signs of malfunction in august of 2012 (vehicle was leased the end of june) when it would take several attempts to start the vehicle and once started the vehicle would occasional cut off or run really rough for about 30 minutes. The engine light stayed illuminated for 2 days. I took the car to the dealer to have it serviced and after 2 days they were unable to replicate the problem. Returned vehicle to me with no resolution. Car ran fine for 4 months then on december 17th the same issues began to occur but more severe this time. I was traveling on a rural highway at 45 MPH when the whole car shut off leaving no power, braking or steering capabilities. Luckily there was no one right behind me and I was able to coast the car to the side of the road. I put the car in park and ejected the key. Restarted the vehicle and limped the car back to my driveway as it would not go over 30 MPH with the pedal pushed to the floor. The vehicle remained in service for 2 days and the dealership diagnosed it as a fuel module issue, replaced the module and returned the car. On saturday december 22nd the same issues occurred again. The car was taken back to the dealership for a 3rd time and remained there for 22 days as the mechanics could not replicate the issue again. Finally the problem was diagnosed as a crack in the wiring harness and vibration was causing the wire to touch the engine and stall out. The crack was fixed with tape and the wire routed away from the engine. I do not feel comfortable driving the car to and from work as I travel on very suburban roads to get there. Volkswagen is not willing to take the car back as they feel the issue has been resolved. A vehicle that completely shuts off at high speeds is a severe concern.
