“Recall on a fuel pump/ modular with no fix since 8/16/2017. Today 12/12/2017 still no remedy or fix for the issue. Safety concern as I carry my family in the car. So far thankfully nothing has happened as of yet.”
NHTSA complaint #11054105, filed 2017-12, 30,000 miles“Loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion on city street and loss of power from stationary position at red traffic light to a in motion green light pressed on pedal with no motion. This happened from the day I purchased the car while salesman was in the car explaining the cars specifications . When it happened he said its part of the next feature of car. He asked me to leave the car in a stationary position on incline and remove my foot off the brake and allow the car catch gear without pressing on the gas pedal that it drove up on its power and not mine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11046433, filed 2017-11, 60 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11583081, filed 2024-04“On oct 1, 2017 received a recall notice from vw. Recall 20ae fuel pump control module. Nhtsa 17v509. Today is april 10, 2018 & vw advises they do not have the parts to fix this recall. In the meantime because of this issue my battery continues to drain and I have already replaced 2 batteries since I have owned the car. Also I want to be reimbursed for my last battery purchase. Can u help?”
NHTSA complaint #11084341, filed 2018-04“This concerns recall, 17v509, for my 2015 vw CC. It has almost been a years since the recall was issued but still there is no fix in sight. The recall states that the problem could leave me stranded at best and cause a wreck at worst. I have avoided driving the car since last august and I sure hate paying for something I am afraid to drive. Such a long wait for such a seemingly simple fix is ridiculous. Maybe vw should be forced to supply us with rental cars until the fix is ready.”
