2017 Volkswagen Cc Reliability Rating Report

This rating shows how often owners report serious defects, safety hazards, malfunctions, and design flaws for this model year.

Problems in major systems — such as the engine and cooling system, transmission and drive system, electric motor, and EV battery — count more heavily because they are more likely to take the car out of service and are usually expensive to repair.

Less critical issues, like broken trim pieces or minor in-car electronics glitches, still count toward the score but carry a smaller weight. Any problem can be annoying, but the rating focuses most on issues that affect safety, drivability, and repair costs.
