What owners say
Well first off there was a recall on my year make and model but I guess it only lasted like a couple years .so twice already my fuel pump. Has needed to be replaced.which is what the recall was for .so I was driving In the fast lane on the freeway when out of nowhere my car just stalled putting me and my passenger in risk of being rammed from behind .I've had to take it too a mechanic two or three times so they can fix the same thing . I have the invoice from the repairs . Also I can be driving and the emergency brake will just engage by itself not having been touched by anyone or anything. It puts me and my passenger at risk for whiplash due to the fact that it engages when I'm driving .no warning lite come on I've just felt the jolt almost causing me to hit my head on the windshield. Please help .thank you Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
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.
When I put my car in drive (to move forward) from a cold start, the vehicle hesitates, does not respond to the accelerator pedal, and does not move. During this time, the transmission does not engage, and the vehicle shakes and produces a loud clunking sound from underneath. After that faulty start, the vehicle operates normally, until the next cold start (vehicle is at rest for 30 or more minutes). Here is an example that shows the danger of this situation. When I back out onto my street, and I put the car in drive, a driver behind me expects me to move. That driver is not expecting a stationary car (stalled, in park, or anything else like the situation I am describing). That creates a safety issue because the driver behind me may not slow down. That driver could then collide with my stationary vehiclle. That could result in injuries or loss of life, to me, or to the driver or passengers in the car that hit me. I spoke to a VW dealer about this, Cherry Hill Volkswagen. They looked up information, and then replied to me "that's normal for that vehicle". The problem is this. That's not normal for any vehicle. That's a bad answer. I have been driving for 50 years, and I have never had any vehicle that performed this way, and I don't know anyone who has. That means it's not normal. If the dealer said "many drivers who own the same vehicle as you do have reported the same problem", that makes it a frequently occurring problem. It does NOT make it normal. Because the dealer did not acknowledge a problem, there has been no effort to correct it. - If every driver who purchased a 2016 VW CC encountered this problem, then every one of those vehicles should have been recalled so that Volkswagen could repair the problem. - If some of the vehicles that were purchased had the problem and others did not, that proves that it is a correctable problem. If the federal safety agency is aware of this problem and has not directed Volkswagen to correct it, then you are not doing your job.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen cc sport. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to push the vehicle to the independent mechanic where he purchased the vehicle. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a defective fuel pump and had the fuel pump replaced. A year later, the contact stated that while driving at 10 MPH, the vehicle shut off again without warning. With the assistance of police, the contact was able to push the vehicle to another independent mechanic. While at the mechanic, the contact was informed that there was a fire occurring within his vehicle close to his gas tank which was caused by his fuel pump. The manufacturer was notified of the failure to see if they would cover the repair of the vehicle, the manufacturer offered no assistance. A dealer was not notified of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked his failure t6o the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v509000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
While driving home from work last night the engine started making strange knocking noises and then stalled with a blinking cel that turned to solid I restarted the car twice in neutral (manual transmission) it was r miles from my job to my home the car now does not start and makes a very loud knocking noise the timing chain jumped and now my engine is completely damaged I could have been rear ended when the car stalled 3 miles
Vw is aware that there are issues with many of their cars for vw/audi/porsche where the timing chain gives prematurely and no recall has been done on these vehicles. There is a civil lawsuit that has been settled but the payouts have not been disseminated since it was settled in 2018. This is a major concern due to there being a vast number of makes and models with this manufacturer yet they have yet to take full responsibility for the defects in their calls. I have a 2009 vw cc that I have yet to receive any reimbursement on costs to repair this issue. When I wrote into vw to advise them of my problem and to only ask that I be reimbursed for the costs of repair, they responded with "sorry, your warranty has expired." my car was in motion many times while I was on long distance travel or in the city and it stalled on me two times while in motion. Both times I had to have my car towed in before I found out the exact issue with it. The last time I was going over a bridge and my car would not accelerate while in traffic going at least 50 MPH.
