Took my CC in for the recall and two weeks later my battery died. After paying 170 for a new battery plus service, two months later, the battery died yet again. There were no light left on in the car. Not pleased at all with this issue. I've had several Nissans and not once did a battery die.

I bought this car in July 2009. I have had nothing but problems with it. I have had all the routine maintenance on this car. At the 20k mile maintenance, I got the car back and it broke down on me & left me stranded. I had to have it towed back to Vw. They replaced the #3Fuel injector. Then at 30k miles, sure enough got it back and again I had the same problem. Broke down, and again had it towed back to Vw. They again replaced the #3 Fuel Injector. I have switched dealerships for service & now drive 15miles out of my way to the next closest Vw dealership for service. I also have had to replace my tires on this car twice. My car started to get super noisy at 21k miles & I took it in to the dealership & an independent repair shop to make sure I was getting the same story. My tires were feathering and cupping on the inside. I finally replaced the tires at 34k miles & had an alignment performed. Sure enough 8k miles later the noise was back. same problem my tires were feathering & cupped. Finally 5k miles later after I couldn't take the noise, I replaced the tires again and I also had another alignment. It gets better.. The day I pick my car up from service my engine light comes on. Back to the dealership again... This time its the Intake Control Valve/Intake Manifold. In the 2 1/2 years I have owned this car it has been in the shop more then I have driven it. & my last minor issues is the bulbs in the tail lights seem to go out continuously. I actually keep replacement bulbs in my trunk. I have also had to replace a headlamp bulb!

After - Reading and Thinking about all the Idiots - that don't
Look after Their Car in the Proper Manner ! I Thought I'll Ad some Insight .
1. First Always have VW do all the Aligments and Adjustments in the First 15,000 miles Period !
2. Always Torque the Wheels Lighter then Recommended , Why ?
Look It Up there is a Difference between Tq. Dry & Tq Wet = Grease
You better have Grease on all Hubs ,Behind all Rotors Hats, and
all Lugs.
3. If the Rotors are Warped and Your Pads still have 55% - which My Pads do at 70,000 miles Your Rotors are Cover !
Why ? As they are Engineered to NOT WARP ! / Got It !
4. If Your Battery Died it's only because Grounds and Battery Clamp Straps Loosened Up ! Why mostly all the Heat & Cooling Cycles ! Period - Then When You go to get a Battery Checked Out
The Tech is More then Happy to Remove the Battery from Your POCKET - Idiot ! Why ? Don't Believe these Service Writers !
5. Tires - like most Disposable items that come on Cars today -
those Parts are not the Best - so Get Great Tires as there
Cheap Insurance - My Conti's Exstreams DWS all seasons went
50,000 miles and I got 1 alignment ( New ) & 2 Rotations during
Life .
6. Plugs - Best Plugs $40.00 Bucks and Did those Myself !
VW CC - VW wanted $175.00 --- LOL

After 10,000 miles on my 2010 CC, the car acted like it was in neutral after making a right turn. I took it in and they said there was some kind of recall. After having 19,000 miles on it, it happened again. This time they told me they forgot to set a transmission factory setting. Having the car now a year and a half (30,000 miles) I was told my front tires needed to be replaced and that I needed an alignment. Less than a month later, my battery died (they only cover up to 24,000 miles). Now I've noticed that when I'm driving on a curve it feels like my back end is not following behind me (feels like it wiggles or something). This is the most I've spent on a car and couldn't be more disappointed.

I have a 2009 volkswagon CC and the tires have been a nightmare. Replaced initial tires at 45,000 miles and now after 10,000 miles tires are cupping. VW no help said did not get it realigned in timely manner. Two sets of tires with the same problem and alignment problems don't cause cupping!Team Volkswagon of Indiana thinks people are stupid and would never get another car there again. Something is definitely wrong with this car and need to find a dealer I can trust. Had wheel bearing changed and probably did not even need this. Love the look of my car but the ride is terrible and would not recommend this car.

While I love the peppiness and look of my CC, I noticed (and included it in my JD Powers Survey) that the car very occassionally "hesitated" on acceleration. It happened while merging into traffic from on-ramps at about 0-5mph trying to merge. Car would halt momentarily and then jerk forward. The first two times it happened, it immediately corrected itself. I took it in to the VW dealership for it's first check and they couldn't find anything wrong. Next incident happened a month later and was far scarier, the car jerked to a stop 3x on acceleration to merge and I almost got hit by another car. Made an appointment to bring it in, but before my appointment, I was stopped at a red light and the car stalled when I tried to go when it turned green. Subsequent attempts to start the car were successful, but the car stalled every time I tried to put the car in gear. It's currently at a dealership and they can not identify the problem though they have repeated the symptom. The car was purchased new, with 2 miles on it, and currently has a 3889 miles on it. This is why I can't rate the drive train, engine or electrical at this point.

Have had my 2010 CC for 15 mos...tires are ruined. At the 20K rotation, I was told no unusual wear (they did not show me, just told me...they also did not make that note on their report). At 30K rotation I was told that I had uneven wear and needed all four wheels aligned, but not to worry, I had plenty of tread, but my car was going to be noisy for awhile!!! The car now sounds like a tank. Upon some independent research and homework I have eliminated all elements that I can find to blame this wear (cupped tires, all four inside) on alignment. Actually had an alignment (on machine) and was told I did not need an alignment, it was a suspension problem. So I went to a suspension expert...no suspension problem, only junk tires. VW Dealer would not perform an alignment evaluation (to generate a report) unless I paid for it, but told me that I absolutely needed all 4 wheels aligned. (The wear pattern does not support). Long story short, after days and hours of my personal time, the neutral parties have concluded that these tires are not spec'd properly for this vehicle. This will be a battle I am sure. Next...worst HVAC system I have ever had in a car. If it's really cold out, it takes forever for the vehicle to heat up. Once it's there, it's fine. Fun car to drive until it turned into a tank.

If you are thinking about getting a VW CC Sport. Insist they put tires on the vehicle that are not Continental. My car had 3 sets within 3 months because the Continental does not work with this car. We test drove other CC and they all had the same vibration at highway speed! Make sure your cell phone is on the list of compatiable phones. Their list is short and if you have problems, that is their first excuse instead of fixing it. I know this sounds strange but on your test drive if you are serious about this car, insist they take it through a car wash and make sure the back windows don't leak. Both of mine do and they can't get it fixed. Design flaw, I am sure! The braking system is the best I have ever had! Stops on a dime with total control. I have a manual 6 speed which is so much fun to drive but it takes a bit to get the turbo to kick in and then there are some serious hesitations in it. The heater seems to have one temp, HOT! There isn't much difference between the cold and hot. I haven't had it checked but it might be broke too. Use extreme caution when puchasing this vehicle. If you have problems VW of America is great with excuses but terrible about fixing the problem. I bought mine June 14, 2010, and it has been in the shop for repair 35 days.

We also have issues with alignment on the CC. Need to replace the Continetal tires already! Have only had the car since Feb 09. Enjoying the car so far and its looks turn a lot of heads because people can't fingure out what model the car is.

Although this car has a great body style, it still has a serious issue with alignment , I have already worn out a set of 4 stock Continental tires from bad toe alignment, the car was brought in March 09, Volkswagon need to have a MASSIVE recall of these cars b4 something happens they will have to apologize for ,remember Toyota ???
