What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I noticed a noise earlier this year while driving and I was convinced it was flat spots on the tires or road noise.. I found out recently that the tires on my car are cupped and need replaced immediately. So I did some research online to find that thousands of people have the same issue.. Volkswagen refuses that it is an issue with their car!! From what I have read there is design flaw in the suspension that causes tire cupping and feathering..
Road noise at 60MPH made me inquire at my 2 year maintenance event. My car only have 16000 miles and there is uneven wear and cupping in the rear tires, per the dealership. They said there is nothing they can do about it (without me paying for it). After searching the internet I have found numerous cases of VW cc owners complaining about the problem only for VW to do nothing. It is a systemic problem with how VW sets up their suspensions which is leading to poor tire wear and cupping.
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.
Dealer states forward clutch and dual mass flywheel needs replacement based on diagnosis and mechanic experience as they cannot "check" these parts. They also state I need to replace injectors and have a "manual decarbon" procedure due to the direct injection system creating carbon deposits. These are apparently well known issue with this and similar VW models. The car has <100,000 miles and is 5 years old. These are not maintenance items per se and fall under the category of defective components/systems.
