Vehicle report
2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC
This model year
What the record shows
The 2013 Volkswagen Cc is a compact car, and the 9th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2005 to 2017.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 2-litre four-cylinder to 3.6-litre six-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, three transmissions and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 21 to 25 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 147 owner complaints, 5 safety recalls and 800 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
