Car drove fine in the morning. Drove it an hour later and it started to violently shake back and forth and the check engine light came one and started to blink and the epc light came on. Drove, slowly, to the dealer and was told ignition coils shut down and were mis-firing. After I picked it up, it started happening again and one misfired again. Fast forward 2 months and we had a dead battery at 4800, after driving all day. Fast forward a month and it started to shake again. After more than a month in the shop I got it back. It still shakes in the mornings sometimes. If I have to take it in again, I am sure it is a lemon. Ive never had the same persistent problem on a car in my life! needs a recall!!!!!

My vehicle has been a problem since I started my lease til now. I have constant problems with my light bulbs even after they are replaced they go out quickly and often. The car has stalled on me twice and cut off twice. I have multiple trips to the service center for the sme things fuel injector pump and the check engine light. This is a fairly new car. I am now stuck with the car for another five years. I will never purchase another volkwagen or refer anyone to buy one either. I would like my history to be pulled and reviewed as a audit. I truly believe I bought and lemon and it has cost me lots of money. I truly would like these problems investigated for the sake of every volkwagen customer.

Dead battery at 37,200. Had car towed to local service shop and battery replaced. Drove home fine and next morning commuting to work, car started shaking and bucking violently. Check engine and epc light came on. Was able to drive very slowly at very high RPM (on interstate and then side roads) to get back to auto shop that replaced battery. They found ignition coils shut down and mis-firing. Transferred car to VW motor hunt valley to see if covered under power train warranty. One coil found dead, other 3 recommended for replacement. Not covered under powertrain warranty. Thanks for your help.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Cc. The contact stated that the catalytic converter warning light illuminated on several occasions. In addition, the vehicle shook violently and jerked as a result the vehicle failed to drive over 30 mph. The contact also stated that the vehicle decelerated independently and stalled. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the manifold, four spark plugs, the intake air box, and the intake charge pipe were replaced. The computer was also reset. The contact stated that one year after the repairs, the catalytic converter warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be carbon cleaned. The spark plugs and the battery were replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,661.
