FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CC AFTER I BROUGHT FROM A DEALERSHIP FOR 18 DAYS, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT ONE NIGHT AT A SPEED OF 60MPH, WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS FINE BUT AFTER 7 MINUTES, THE CAR HAS NO RESPONSE WHILE I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT SHOWED UP, RPM AND SPEED SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. I PULL OVER AND I RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 400 YARDS AND CAR DIE, I HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING AND THEY FOUND OUT THE CAR HAS A BAD FUEL PUMP AND BAD FUEL INTAKE AND HAS TO REPLACE FOR $1500. *TR

ENGINE
I BOUGHT A NEW VW CC THAT IS A 2.0T AND HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BEFORE BUYING AND JUST TEST DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR DROVE JUST FINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP FOR A WHILE, THE RPMS WILL HANG FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU LET OFF THE GAS. THIS CAUSES MANY SAFETY ISSUES AND I HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THAT ALL VW CARS MADE IN 2013 WITH THE 2.0T ENGINE HAVE THIS ISSUE. I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN IN SLOW STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. NOT ONLY IS THE REV HANG IS WEARING OUT CLUTCHES PREMATURELY AND MAKES THESE CARS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE ENGINE KEEPS THE THROTTLE OPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER WE LET OFF OF THE GAS. THE CAR JUST DRIVES ON ITS OWN LIKE IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL ON FOR A FEW SECONDS!!! IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR IN THE SNOW AND THE WHEELS ARE SPINNING AND LOSING TRACTION, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AFTER YOU LET GO OF THE GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE YOU TO CRASH. GOOGLE "VW REV HANG" MY CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY CLAIM THAT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. I THEN TEST DROVE OTHER 2013 VW CARS WITH THIS ENGINE AND FOUND THAT ALL OF THE CARS I DROVE HAVE THE RPM HANG ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED 7 CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PAST AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER CAR DO THIS. I STILL HAVE MY 2006 VW 2.0T CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THAT CAR DRIVES JUST FINE. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS ISSUE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT AFFECTS ALL 2013 VW CARS WITH 2.0T ENGINES THAT ARE SOLD IN THE US WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. PEOPLE ON THE VW FORMS BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS PUT INTO THE CARS TO HELP WITH PASSING NEW US EMISSIONS. I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BETTER EMISSIONS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THAT DRIVABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY SHOULD BE SACRIFICED IN ORDER TO GET BETTER EMISSIONS. *TR
