Driving a 2012 vw cc with 57,000 miles. Driving on highway at 70 MPH and attempted to pass a slow moving truck. Accelerated quickly and mid pass the engine lost power and immediately went into "limp mode" with ecr light activated on the dash. Pulled over safely and turned off the engine. After collecting myself, I started engine to drive off highway. Car would not start. I sat a few moments in panic and tried again. The car started and I drove with ecr light on to next exit. The car was sluggish with little acceleration. Pulled to gas station and turned off again. Restarted and the engine rpms ran higher in idle so I turned off the car again. Let it sit and restarted and drove to auto zone where they did a code tester and was told p0229 underboost turbocharger was issue. Auto zone employee said he had seen it many times and its a known issue with 2.0 turbo engines in vw and audi. The report is attached. Auto zone reset the ecr light and the car was driven to final destination into arizona with no additional issues yet. Researching I found the following link https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t23523_ds493841. This link expresses the opinions of many drivers over the years experiencing this issue and how unsafe and difficult to is to resolve with many folks experiencing thousands of dollars in repairs and never finding a remedy. I am worried and shocked that the car engine can be turned off by a computer with no bypass for the driver. Extremely dangerous while driving.

Engine is turning over but only starting occasionally. When it does start, the epc and check engine/catalytic converter lights are illuminated. This is happening now after I had to figure out the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced...before there was a recalled issued at my own expense. Car ran fine earlier today, then when trying to leave my house, took an extended time to start. Shut it off to see if it was a glitch, and didn't start at all.

Vehicle purchased with 112,000 miles. At 119,000 the car wouldn't start randomly after driving it all day. Vehicle was parked in my driveway and I was leaving to run an errand and it wouldn't start. There was no indication of any issue. No loud or uncommon noises, no dash lights signaling a problem - nothing! Two days later I had it towed it to a local mechanic and he found a problem with timing chain and head gasket. We are still in the process of having it fully diagnosed, and a price estimate for repairs. I have done a lot of research which indicates this is a very common problem in volkswagen models like mine. Volkswagen is also aware of the problem and refuses to do anything further about it.

Purchased my car and went to fill up with gas. After fueling the car would not start. After 10 minutes the car started so I drove back to the dealer. Only a 5 minute drive. The car then died while moving at 40 MPH in the middle of the road. The engine and battery light came on. The dealer cleared the codes and the car drove out. Then was getting gas again a week later and the same incident occurred. Was in the middle of the city street turning and the vehicle died again.

Over the last several weeks (3-4) I've observed the cc straining (as if the battery doesn't have the amps) to start the vehicle. This past weekend the car wouldn't start and I can't charge the battery enough to produce the cranking amps to turn it over. The local vw dealership states that they have not received instructions as to how to diagnose or repair the vehicle at this time. We have less than 45000 mile on the cc - this shouldn't be an issue for this vehicle. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
