Volkswagen Recalls 2009 CC

Turbo, you'd make a good politician, you're good a deflecting attention away from the real topics and spinning things to suit your view. You'd make a good lawyer too.

Yes, but with VW's specs.

It's the responsibility of the end manufacturer to work with it's suppliers to make quality products. If you know anything about Toyota and Honda they do this to lengths end. Even if this product was made in Asia, that same company is probably working with other car makers too. This could have happened to any car maker but it's funny that since this happened to VW you have to get all defensive and blame someone else, typical supremacist attitude...

Yawn. Another minor item recalled for safety reasons by a German car maker. Meanwhile, Detroit continues to ship dangerous cars, and not recall rolling bombs (like the V8 mustangs where the mickey-mouse clip holding the injector in lets the injector pop out, spraying fuel onto the exhausts until the car explodes) and Toyota is only recently starting to recall cars for its defects (too bad they didn't do that around 1990 when ALL Camrys had defective master cylinders ... who knows how many deaths in the name of a bogus quality reputation).

The fact that European automakers recall cars with safety issues (even minor ones) is one of the biggest arguments for buying European cars.

VWs have had defective cylinder head in the 2.0 TDI engine and VW hasn`t recalled them:

"Immer noch nicht abgestellt: Rissbildungen im Zylinderkopf sind ein bekanntes Problem bei VW-TDI-Motoren."

After translation in google translate:
"Still not off: crack in the cylinder head is a known problem with VW's TDI engines."

Proactive (VW and other foreign mfg.) vs. Reactive (Detroit 3)

you forgot

Proactive (VW and some other foreign mfg.) vs. Reactive (Japan)

I guess that you were too young to remember, maybe not even born yet, but back in 1989, when Lexus was hit with a problem they set the standard for being proactive with recalls and dealing with the situation. People still talk about it today...

"BMW and DaimlerChrysler AG's Mercedes Benz, together sold nearly four times the number of cars as Lexus did in Japan last year"

Becouse Lexus isn`t as prestigious brand as Mercedes or BMW . Lexus brand was lauched in Japan 2 or 3 years ago . Toyota Crown and Toyota Century are more prestigious cars in Japan than any Lexus .

CC already recalled?? damn!!

Why am I not surprised that yet another VW has been recalled for an electrical issue. Seems they cannot get rid of that plague no matter how hard they try.

Luckily my local VW dealer prefers to collect interesting new to market vehicles such as this, rather than sell them for reasonable market value. I have seen the 1 same CC sitting on the lot for a month and a half now. At least the recall won't interfere with someone's ownership experience.

VW = POS

Are we talking about the old 2.0 TDI that has the crank head problems? VW has just released the new Jetta TDI with a new 2.0 diesel engine rated at 140hp and 236 lbs of torque two months ago. Surely there can't be problems with the crank heads two months out.

We`re talking about VW's 2.0 TDI engine that they has been selling in Europe for several years . This is the same engine as in US Jetta TDI , although they recently added to it common rail system .
