Stepping on the accelerator does not always product motion. Dangerous situation when more acceleration is needed such as on an entrance ramp or passing other vehicles or having to accelerate to avoid a crash. This has been a constant since we purchased this car (new) in 2012. The dealer service department told us this a sport vehicle and there is not a problem with the car as long as we accelerate harder. The recall parts are still not available according to VW of orland park il.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Cc. While driving various speeds, the vehicle decelerated and then accelerated to 80 mph, the contact had to depress the brake pedal to decelerate. All the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the headlights intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bemer motor cars (9201 richmond ave, houston, tx 77063, phone: (713) 900-2443), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was then taken to archer Volkswagen (10400 sw fway, houston, tx 77074, phone: (713) 272-1775) where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor module, the camshaft sensor, radiator core support, front lower control arm, bushings alignment, rear bracket rotors, and brake fluid needed to be replaced. The dealer only made some of the repairs due to the repair cost. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

Turning the steering wheel at low speed as I was exiting a parking lot and heard a metallic sound and steering got very tight, several warning leds presented on the dash display indicating air bag failures. All features incorporated with the steering wheel were inoperable including the horn. Took vehicle to VW dealer, service tech codes indicated the sccm module/clock spring has failed and needs to be replaced asap at a cost of ~ $ $800

Upon cranking up my car, the "epc and check engine" light both came on simultaneously. I then noticed that the car failed to accelerate even with the gas pedal completely depressed. Then the car stalled. It was slow to crank up again, but the engine finally turned over. When I took the car to the dealership, they told me that high pressure fuel pump was bad. The car is only 2 years old and has taken only 3 long distance road trips during my ownership(less than 6 hours driving on each trip). After researching online, I have found several other VW Cc owners that have experienced the same exact problem. The unpredicted stalling of the car is very dangerous safety issue. What if I had been on the highway when this happened.

On 01/14/2013 at approx. 6:00pm after driving up to a drive thru, I engaged the autohold on my 2012 Volkswagen Cc lux plus. After leaving the drive thru, I was waiting on a slight hill to drive across the highway to enter into my lane of traffic. The autohold had engaged and it was holding my position while waiting to pull into traffic. When I pressed on the accelerator, the vehicle unpredictably and rapidly accelerated from my held position. The car sped up from a dead stop across the state highway (maybe to 30-45 mph) in a very direct straight path. This rapid high speed happened so fast that I was not able to control the vehicle before it hit the curb across the highway, jumped the same curb and crashed into a 10"-12" deep ravine at a 35-45 degree angle. I was in complete and total shock. An individual stopped on the highway and assisted me from the ravine and I was able to call for assistance. A police report was filed. This 2012 Volkswagen Cc lux plus has only 5,425 miles on it. It has been only serviced by Volkswagen and no others. In the past this 2012 Volkswagen had experienced a problem with the autohold at time of original delivery from the dealership (where it was purchase brand new). The sales woman was moderately confused to say the least with the sudden surge the car experienced when she was attempting to explain the particular feature of autohold. She indicated at that time, she did not know why it would have done that and just continued on to provide new car stuff. Besides the delivery incident and the accident, I have had two other brief minor acceleration (rev up) issues while the autohold was engaged. I never thought it was much to concern myself over as they were only what I would of thought of as slight surges for the two occasions. Each time the autohold was engaged the car wanted to accelerate, yet I was able to brake to stop the car.

At 8:40 am cst on 11/6/2012. While commuting to work at 55 mph road in the middle of freeway. I lost functionality on the gas pedal. The vehicle would not accelerate when engaging the gas pedal. Gas pedal was rendering non-functional and in-effective. There was heavy soot/smoke from the exhaust primarily almost like fire and some smoke from under the hood, this is a new under warranty VW Cc 2012 4 door sedan. Driving on the left lane with a semi behind me when this occurred. It created a very unsafe near miss incident. I am fortunate that a collision did not happen when I lost power to the wheels. I pulled off to an exit and when I floored the gas pedal, there was intermittent power stalling the vehicle to less than 5 mph. However, there was heavy soot/smoke from the exhaust primarily almost like fire and some smoke from under the hood, with parking lights on I drove 2 minutes and pulled to a parking lot. My vehicle was towed to a nearest VW dealership upon talking with VW road side assistance. They appear to be inconsiderate to the magnitude of the situation I dealt with and the impact and severity of the technical failure. I don't know if this systemic in VW Cc. This technical failure can easily cause accidents. My near miss is a testament to it.
