After getting fuel, the car stalls immediately. I have to push the gas petal and give it several pushes to get it to go. Sometimes it stalls while driving. It will turn off randomly especially after pressing the break pedal. It turns off, and all the warning lights turn on. Then it totally turns off all sources of power to it. Bluetooth microphone has not worked since I got it with 30 miles on it. Now it has 136,000.

I was driving my car on the florida turnpike at about 70 miles an hour she. It started making a loud clanking noise. Then the oil light came on, the car immediacy made a loud pop, like a gun shot and then the engine shut off while driving. I coasted to the side of the road where I was stranded for awhile. I did get a tow to a mechanic who looked at the car and said the motor was blown. I was not able to get my car fixed in florida so I brought it back to georgia where I reside. A mechanic in vwrgia currently has the car and agrees the motor is blown. He removed the oil pan and the car does have oil. Belief is that the oil pump failed causing catastrophic engine failure. Vehicle has had no mechanical problems at all and I have been the only owner of this car since purchase in 2011. Awfully strange that the 2012 models are under recall with the same engine size but not the 2011. This incident occurred on february 21. 2019.

Driving the vehicle down the road in good weather conditions when the brakes initiated for no reason and no gas seemed to be going to the throttle. The ESC light came on. I attempted to turn the traction control light off but there was still no change. The vehicle slowed down to about 5 miles an hour and stalled out a couple of times because lack of gas going to the vehicle. Fortunately I was in a congested area and was only traveling about 20 MPH when this happened. Could have been extremely dangerous had I been on a highway.
