Driving a 2012 vw cc with 57,000 miles. driving on highway at 70 mph and attempted to pass a slow moving truck. accelerated quickly and mid pass the engine lost power and immediately went into "limp mode" with ecr light activated on the dash. pulled over safely and turned off the engine. after collecting myself, i started engine to drive off highway. car would not start. i sat a few moments in panic and tried again. the car started and i drove with ecr light on to next exit. the car was sluggish with little acceleration. pulled to gas station and turned off again. restarted and the engine rpms ran higher in idle so i turned off the car again. let it sit and restarted and drove to auto zone where they did a code tester and was told p0229 underboost turbocharger was issue. auto zone employee said he had seen it many times and its a known issue with 2.0 turbo engines in vw and audi. the report is attached. auto zone reset the ecr light and the car was driven to final destination into ...
The timing chain broke twice, ,
The 2.0t tsi engine was made with a faulty timing chain tensioner which will fail and cause the timing chain to break causing immediate catastrophic engine damage putting the driver and occupants in danger because of loss of power and difficulty steering. i am extremely blessed that i noticed the car was acting funny and exited off the highway. it's ridiculous to me how the timing chain could cause that much damage to the engine. the engine obviously has been created with a faulty design, so now i'm expected to pay to replace a faulty engine with another faulty engine. it's extremely upsetting that after i sent my vehicle in for issues with a recall, fuel pump, that my vehicle would just self destruct like this
I went to store came back out car was driving fine on the way when i came back ot it wouldn't start had it towed to my mechanic no compression it tries to star but just turns over he says i need a new motor a used motor for the car is like 2900 aand that's just too buy not have the old one took it and the new one installed i called volkswagen in coleraine mechanic tells ne the engine in those cars juat go ot without any reason so need less to say im being sued by a car dealership for something i canr even drive something needs to be done i see many of people having the same b problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen cc. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate and lost power. also, the epc warning indicator illuminated. the contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. after thirty minutes, the vehicle restarted and was driven to the contact's residence. while the vehicle was idling, the failure recurred and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was later taken to piazza volkswagen of ardmore (150 w lancaster ave, ardmore, pa 19003, (610) 896-8600) where it was diagnosed that the low pressure fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the vehicle was recently repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 17v509000 (fuel system, gasoline). the manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not offer assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
Stalling, and will start and stall - epc light on dash
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen cc. the contact stated that the vehicle would not immediately start. while driving, the speed would suddenly decelerate and the engine stalled. the contact also indicated that gray colored exhaust fumes were present coming from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 120,000.
The car has 50,000 miles on it and one day i started the car in the morning and it was quite as it should be then it started it to misfiring and start to shut off. i took it to the mechanic and the dealer, they both confirmed that the timing belt needs to be replaced and i shouldn't be starting the car until i get it fixed. i can not believe that this major problem will occur on a car that has a low mileage like mine.
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.
I experienced a leak from the water pump while the car was stationary. i took it to my mechanic who stated that he always sees this type of problem with the volkswagens because volkswagen uses plastic parts and these parts are often around the highly heated areas in the engine therefore they fail. i bought this car for my daughter who will be driving back and forth to college and i am extremely concerned about her safety if vw is using inadequate parts in their cars. also, repair costs are unimaginable, $1000, only to be replaced with the same plastic part. i also had to replace one of the tail light casings because it too was made of plastic and the tail light lamp burned into the plastic and ceased to light. we have also had this car in for two different parts recalls, airbag x 2, and fuel pump control module.
While driving on the highway, epc and engine waringing signs were on all of sudden. i checked with local repair shop in solvang, ca. they said, they wanted to add 2 quarts of engine oil and check. after then, they said there were loud noise from the engine and then engine died. my car towed to nearby vw dealership. the dealership did diagnostics test and said it needed to be replace an engine.
I was driving my vehicle uphill when i heard a strange noise come from under the hood. i managed to pull into the driveway and park and didn't think much about it. a few hours later when i tried to start the car, it would not turn on. the engine would crank very loudly but would never turn over. i assumed it might be the oil so i changed it, filled it with gas since it was a bit on the low side, and finally had a neighbor charge the battery with theirs in case it might be the battery. from fear that i might further damage the engine i waited a while before trying again. when i did nothing had changed. i had no choice but to call a mechanic and after him having not a clue what might be the problem i resorted to having the car towed back to the dealership 2 hours away in santa monica, ca. one day later, i received a call from the vw dealership informing me that my timing chain had unexpectedly broken and further damaged a few valves/pistons/etc. when i asked how it might've happened they did not have an answer ...
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.
