NHTSA complaint #10605486, filed 2014-06, 36 miles“As of november 2017 my Volkswagen CC has become inoperable and a safety hazard due to the fuel pump control module - recall 20ae. At any given time why driving my car will completely shut off in traffic daily/consistently. Notices were sent out to us in october about recall but still says no repair information available at this time. Dealer has yet to resolve issue. Under my rights it's unfair and I should have to pay for this to be fixed in which there is a pending recall. This is a very urgent matter which should not be stalled off nor delayed any longer. …”

When trying to accelerate, the car will buck and hesitate at about 2k to 3k RPM and have virtually 0 acceleration. The epc light will kick on and then the car has slower acceleration but it does not buck and hesitate. The issue happens when the car is cold and warming up. When the car stalled, I was downshifting, and then the battery light came on. The car just died. Had to pull over and then restart the car. The car would then buck and hesitate again until the epc light came on. …”
