2013 Volkswagen CC Engine Problems

“At about 43k miles I was driving on a multi lane highway when the car started violently trembling/jerking then sputtered and turned off. I was able to turn it back on and get onto a side median. The car continued to jerk I drove to dealership immediately a few miles away. By the time I got there it was no longer jerking and only random misfires in the engine where found on diagnostic testing. The car since before that time and still has a low level but noticeable tremble when it is idle. …”

“I own a 2013 vc CC with about 76,000 miles on it. Car is an excellent condition and is still pretty new when suddenly my car began to shut off while driving. There were no progression of problems.

I almost crashed the car due to this issue a couple weeks ago when in slow stop and go traffic. …”

At the time of the engine failure it had 62,569 miles. The timing chain that destroyed the engine prematurely failed. …”

“While traveling on the freeway in san diego, my car started shaking and losing power. Then the epc & check engine lights turned on, on the dashboard. I was barely able to pull over to the shoulder, and drive off the upcoming exit ramp. I lost total engine power, and I had to call the towing truck to take me to the closest dealership, as the car is still under warranty. I waited 5 hours to find out what was happening, as I live in another city. The dealership technician told me that they recorded several piston misfires, but after resetting the computer, the faults never came back. …”
