GAS PUMP DEFECT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE GASPUMP WITH MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20AE AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V509. TWO WEEKS AGO, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN STREET IN OUR CITY, THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND I WAS BLESSED THAT NO CARS WERE FOLLOWING ME. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN. I MAY HAVE BEEN ALIVE WRIITNG THESE LINES. I HAD THE PART CHANGED AND I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT VW USA, WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED UNTIL THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED OFFICIAL BY NHTSA. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. DOES VW OF NHTSA WANT PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES SO THAT THIS WOULD BE AN OFFICLA RECALL? I HOPE NHTSA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND IN VW USA'S TERMS, MAKE THIS RECALL OFFICIAL. HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE BEFORE THEY MANUFACTURE UPGARDED PARTS. SUCH AN ATTITUDE IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT? HUMAN LIFE OR MONEY?

THIS CONDITION CAN ALSO CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, RESULTING IN A DRAINED VEHICLE BATTERY AND/OR A NO-START CONDITION.' THIS MEANS AN ENGINE CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. THIS IS VERY ALARMING TO ME, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY ALONG WITH MY INFANT SON WHO IS A PASSENGER IN MY CAR DAILY. I HAVE CALLED 2 LOCAL VW DEALERSHIPS (DORSCHEL & IDE VOLKSWAGEN) IN ROCHESTER, NY AND HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THERE IS 'NO FIX' AT THE MOMENT. I OWE OVER $10,000 ON THIS VEHICLE CURRENTLY AND HAVE LIMITED INCOME SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND SEVERAL RECALLS. I HAVE PUT OVER $2,200 IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS FOR DEFECTIVE SENSORS AND WIRING. THIS NEW RECALL CAN DIRECTLY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND I AM AT A LOST FOR WORDS!

TAKATA RECALL... HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO RIDE AROUND IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THE RECALL WENT OUT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AND HERE IT IS JULY WITH NO REMEDY. I NEED A LOANER VEHICLE OR A NEW VEHICLE FOR THIS DEATH TRAP I HAVE. I HAVE A TERRIBLE GAS LEAK IN MY FUEL LINE. THE GAS SMELL HAS MOVED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND IT. NOT ONLY IS THE SMELL EXTREMELY STRONG, BUT THE GAS LEAK IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. INSURANCE COMPANIES TOTAL VEHICLES WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BUT VOLKSWAGEN THINKS IT'S OKAY FOR US TO RIDE AROUND IN VEHICLES WITH FAULTY, LIFE THREATENING AIRBAGS AND FAULTY FUEL LINES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON SO MANY LEVELS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2009 CC FROM BUENA PARK NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA, IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND PUT IN JUST 6000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON BEVERLY BL ON JULY 27TH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION.FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE. AFTER CHECKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY OR WHATEVER....I STARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 3 BLOCKS TO WORK BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH P2293 LOW FUEL PRESSURE. HE SAID IT WAS DRIVE ABLE BUT THAT ONE DAY IT MAY NOT START. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE CAR HAS STALLED 8 OTHER TIMES TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE LAST ONE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY WIFE AND MY 87 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LAW. I HAD HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND AS THE MECHANIC CAME TO PICK ME UP TO GET MY CAR IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. IT STALLED AGAIN BEFORE WE GOT TO HIS SHOP. I DECIDED TO CHECK INTO THIS ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CCS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR IN A MONTH AND IS PARKED IN NEW CENTURY DEALERSHIP IN GLENDALE,CA .AFTER CONTACTING VOLKSWAGEN CORPORATE,THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID. FOUR DAYS LATER I GOT AN EMAIL STATING THEY CANNOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND MORE SO I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $130 DIAGNOSIS FEE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE SERIOUS FATALITIES FROM THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
