Vehicle stalls when accelerating or traveling at high rates of speed and it will lose power. It bumps and jolts to life. My RPM shoots up and and down. It lags to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate it suddenly jolts. Battery, Epc light, as well as engine light come on immediately.

I got this car like 2 months and I had nothing but problems...the check engine light has been on since I bought the car the tire message has been on since I got the car now since this last week I have a red flashing oil. Light come on and it says low oil pressure turn engine off and check the manual something like that. Plus about a month ago I took it to vw dealer ship they fix the exhaust manifold supposedly it was under warranty or something like that so I didnt have to pay and the 2 fuel injectors they replaced also and I cant get my other 2 fuel injectors replaced untill they go out..and I guess that's why I get a light that flashes ECP when I'm driving also...so after all that I still have problems maybe even worse now with the low pressure meaning fuel pump is going out maybe I'm not sure.i do not have anymore money to keep fixing this car I bought like 2 months ago from vison motor sports in tulsa ok...they really screwed me and this is my first car I bought and that I have ever owned....help please thank you..

The dealership said pcv valve went out and caused rear main seal to break, which is the reason my check engine light came on. The car is now leaking oil. The pcv valve appears to be fine, nothing is stuck, nothing cracked, the gasket is not damaged either. The car now has 80k miles on it and im stuck with $1800 repair bill for the rear main seal.

Vehicle keeps misfiring. Check engine light remains on. Epc light comes on periodically after fuel pump was replaced. While driving car jerks and check engine light begins to flash. Lots of wear to tires within a few thousand miles. Breaks must be push on hard to stop. The dealership said the only thing that was wrong was a code for carbon buildup. Dealership would not provide code just a price of $1000. Spark plugs and coils were changed before purchasing vehicle. I'm certain the fuel pump was not changed. The vehicle uses 1/8 of a tank to warm up.
