Started having problems with the fuel tank at around 65,000 I had an extended warranty on the vehicle and around 80,000 they replaced the entire fuel tank… recently, I started smelling gas very strongly inside my vehicle and took it to a honest mechanic who was able to find the fuel pump which is located behind the backseats he told me the pump is sweating and there’s a puddle of gas in it and that’s why I have the strong smear smell of gas in my vehicle. He says that it’s not even safe for me to drive the vehicle at this time and at this time, I’m trying to buy another car because I have to keep the windows down, so I don’t pass out from the smell of gas … I called Appleton Volkswagen of Sanford as they switched out the whole fuel tank at 80,000. The vehicle has about 190,000 now … there was just a recall put out for the fuel pump for certain Volkswagen year 2015 and above, but the CC is not on this.? I I feel like it should be in the recall because my car is very unsafe to drive and I’m scared that I’m gonna blow up a fire of flames right now just driving it to the repair they’re not because this is very unsafe ……

The contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen CC. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the back over prevention camera failed to display an image. Additionally, the brake lights and turn signals failed to operate as needed, and the electronic trunk latch was inoperable. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the trunk wiring harness was damaged from wire fatigue, caused by the opening, and closing of the trunk lid. The contact replaced the wiring harness. The electronic trunk latch mechanism was not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 60,000.

My Cruise Control unit will not engage. And I have (6) six warning lamps showing every time I operate the car. With these lamps showing on the info system screen, the cruise control Will not engage! I asked the dealership about it. And was told that the wheel bearing unit has moved away from where it is bolted on. And now it is touching the Air Bag control module. That's why I've got six lamps showing up on the center info screen, every time I operate the car. And on another incident. I was traveling on the interstate and their was some water that had collected in a dip between hills. And when I traveled through it, the force of the water flowing into the engine department, knocked the cruise control OFF. Disengaged it. I'm am available for inspection of said vehicle. Oh yes, this happened once before, but all of a sudden all the warnings lamps turned off. But I'm not so lucky now. It doesn't seem to affect the Air Bags any, But I could be Wrong! The dealer explained what has happened within the components of my problem. But, since I wasn't forth coming to pay them to check or repair it, nothing got done. And it has been going on for about 6 - 8 months.

The clock spring on this vehicle is defective. Airbag light is on, all steering wheel buttons/controls no longer work and the horn no longer works. Online research shows this to be a known issue for this model year and beyond. Additionally, there was a recall for this exact problem for the previous model year. Further research found the following NHTSA document https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10149942-9999.pdf as a limited warranty extension that includes this model year. However, dealer service and Volkswagen customer service have no knowledge of this limited warranty update and or that this vehicle VIN is not included. This has now made this vehicle UNSAFE to drive without working air bags.

DEALER STATES FORWARD CLUTCH AND DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL NEEDS REPLACEMENT BASED ON DIAGNOSIS AND MECHANIC EXPERIENCE AS THEY CANNOT "CHECK" THESE PARTS. THEY ALSO STATE I NEED TO REPLACE INJECTORS AND HAVE A "MANUAL DECARBON" PROCEDURE DUE TO THE DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM CREATING CARBON DEPOSITS. THESE ARE APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS AND SIMILAR VW MODELS. THE CAR HAS <100,000 MILES AND IS 5 YEARS OLD. THESE ARE NOT MAINTENANCE ITEMS PER SE AND FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS. VW HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS FOR MANY MODELS BUT NOT ON THIS ONE YET. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE COST FOR REPAIRS IS $5,600.
