The epc light came on while driving. The car suddenly lost power, I kept having to take my foot off the gas, and then reapply, it eventually got up to a decent speed on the interstate, then suddenly lost all power regardless of what I did. Was almost hit by an 18 wheeler. This is the most dangerous and ridiculous thing to build a car that tells it to shut off when it first senses a problem. You guys almost cost me my life!!! This is the first vw I've ever owned and was told I would love it. Well, I've had it for 2 day's and I can tell you it won't stay around long if this continues to be a problem. Once I managed to get pulled over I shut the car off waited a min or so and restarted it. The light went off and the car drove like nothing ever happened. I have two small boys and this is a big concern for me. I've read post after post about this being an issue, there has to be something vw can figure out as to what is the main cause, and surely there should be a bypass to keep the car from just shutting off while driving.

We called our insurance because we just had purchased this car on labor day 2017, from the audi dealership in lakeland, fl, and during the claim we found out that this open recall had not been fixed. So I contacted the audi dealership and they retrieved with a promise to have it fixed at the vw dealership in lake land florida, since this was the manufacturers dealership. Well today I was told by the audi dealership that the vw dealership located on 209 s lake parker avenue, lake land, fl 33801said the federal safety agency website recall was wrong and there is no recall for the vehicle so they cannot fix a vehicle without an active recall. I emailed the audi dealership documents from your website about the recall and yet they claim the vw dealership will not fix the vehicle. I have attached a copy of the recall from your website, please let me know what my next steps should be.

Yesterday I took my vehicle to the vw dealership to be serviced because the epc and engine lights were on. I had to have 3 ignition coils and 4 spark plugs replaced on my vehicle at the vw dealership and the computer software updated. Today the engine light came back on. The epc light came on but went off after I turned the car off and restarted it. The car had trouble starting and lost power as I was driving on a city street.

I just bought this 2009 cc from buena park nissan dealership in california, in february 2015 and put in just 6000 miles. I was driving to work on beverly bl on july 27th when all of a sudden the car just lost power while in motion.fortunately I was in the outside lane and was able to pull to the side. After checking to see if there was a loose connection to the battery or whatever....I started it and was able to drive 3 blocks to work before it stalled again. I had it towed to my mechanic and was diagnosed with p2293 low fuel pressure. He said it was drive able but that one day it may not start. After that incident the car has stalled 8 other times twice on the freeway and the last one was at an intersection with my wife and my 87 year old mother in law. I had high pressure fuel pump replaced and as the mechanic came to pick me up to get my car it stalled in the middle of an intersection while he was driving. It stalled again before we got to his shop. I decided to check into this issue and discovered that this is a common problem with the ccs. I have not driven the car in a month and is parked in new century dealership in glendale,ca .after contacting volkswagen corporate,they asked me to take it to the nearest dealership which I did. Four days later I got an email stating they cannot offer any financial assistance and more so I am responsible for the $130 diagnosis fee. It is only a matter of time before there serious fatalities from this very dangerous situation.

On 9/12/13 while driving on the highway without any warning the car loss engine power, would not accelerate and shut off in the middle of the highway. The battery light did come on once the car shut off. I was unable to restart the car to move off the highway. I immediately turned on the hazards and kept my foot on the brakes so cars would not crash into me. The car still had full power with all controls (radio, power windows, AC, lights, etc.). The vehicle was towed to a local vw dealer and diagnosed as a defective low pressure fuel pump and fuel control module, $850 repair. The service advisor stated this is a common problem with the cc's (direct injection). The repairs were completed by the vw dealer on 09/13/13. On 09/18/13 five days later and less than 100 miles after the low pressure fuel pump & module was replaced; while commuting from work the check engine light came on and the car immediately lost engine power, would not accelerate and shut off in rush hour traffic. Again it was towed back to vw and this time diagnosed as defective high pressure fuel pump and control module, for another $850 in repairs. On 09/21/13 I contacted vw of america online and made a formal complaint; twice in one week the vehicle has shut off in traffic, with no warning, endangering my life and the lives of others. The vw dealer is playing a guessing game with diagnosing the problem. The vw dealer also contacted vw of america on my behalf with the problems and concerns with the vehicle. Vw offered to cover the parts and I paid the labor $200+. The repairs were completed on 9/25/13 by vw, I drove the car home less than 25 miles and the car started to sputter and the check engine light came on. I immediately called the vw dealer and was told to bring the car back. 3 times in two weeks, the car is back to the vw dealer and they can't fix the problem. This is a real safety problem.
