| Description of the problem | Vw is aware that there are issues with many of their cars for vw/audi/porsche where the timing chain gives prematurely and no recall has been done on these vehicles. There is a civil lawsuit that has been settled but the payouts have not been disseminated since it was settled in 2018. This is a major concern due to there being a vast number of makes and models with this manufacturer yet they have yet to take full responsibility for the defects in their calls. I have a 2009 vw cc that i have yet to receive any reimbursement on costs to repair this issue. When i wrote into vw to advise them of my problem and to only ask that i be reimbursed for the costs of repair, they responded with "sorry, your warranty has expired." my car was in motion many times while i was on long distance travel or in the city and it stalled on me two times while in motion. Both times i had to have my car towed in before i found out the exact issue with it. The last time i was going over a bridge and my car would not accelerate while in traffic going at least 50 mph. |
