Had a 2009 VW CC. The taillight lamps always blew out -- bad electrical. Returned car after 4 yr lease.
Currently own a 2013 VW CC. I picked up new the car from the dealer with dust in the front headlight. Dealer tried to blow this out but was never successful. Then, they should have replaced the entire light assembly but this was refused. After driving the new car for 150 km, a check engine light came on. Apparently, I needed a new fuel pump. After they replaced the fuel pump, I noticed a rattle in the dash. There were many many trips to various dealerships. They all tried to fix the rattle, noone was successful. There is still a rattle in the dash.
Recently, rust/paint peeling began to appear on/near the rocker panel by the drivers door of my car. I took the car to the dealer to show the rust coming from underneath and eating away at the paint on the rocker panel. The dealer took pictures and submitted them to Volkswagen Canada. Yesterday (i.e. one and one half months later), I learned that Volkswagen Canada denied the claim stating the rust and paint peeling was caused by "outside influences".
This is preposterous. The rust was bleeding through from underneath causing the paint to peel away. This damage is located on or at the rocker panel/door sills by the driver's door. The damaged spot is protected by the driver's door, so that it is not exposed to flying debris from the road.
There is no evidence of "outside influences" as claimed by Volkswagen Canada. There is no lack of care, or failure to promptly repair. I did not get any third party rustproofing done, so there was no use of any inferior rustproofing agent or method. There is no evidence of environmental damage.
Yes, VW does suck.
