While driving 45mph, epc and engine lights came on and car suddenly decellerated, causing traffic behind me to drive off the side of the road to avoid hitting me. Fortunately it was on a curve with enough room to avoid a multi car accident. Then my car accelerated to normal and I parked it and shut it off. When I restarted it, it quietly lost power and stalled in reverse only. A few hours later I started it and the warning lights were off and the car was towed to a shop where no error codes were showing in order for them to fix it and it seemed to be operating normal. So, I drive it home but this intermittently and suddenly reoccurs. And each time I am told that there are no error codes showing so there is nothing they can do (or like I'm imagining it in other words). It seems that after the car sits, whatever is winky, resets by itself or something...until it happens again. I am attaching a pic of the epc and engine light to prove this happens, even though they are off by the time it gets to service. Tow today took 3 hours to arrive.

Out of nowhere the epc light and mil lights came on the car lost power and the engine was rumbling. Very scary while driving on the highway. Took it to the dealer. Ignition coil and spark plug wires has to be replaced. Cost me over $900. A day later, I see that this same problem was a recall on jettas in the past. I am out of pocket $900 and was nearly rear-ended on the highway because of this. Why hasn't vw corrected this problem? I want to be reimbursed since this is a problem that has existed in jettas for year!

Map sensor - repeating failure the manifold absolute pressure (map) sensor failure causes exponential safety issues while driving on highways and/or higher speeds that can result in death. After repeated replacement and repairs, continuous failure occurs. Stalling, power and steering issues occur at high speeds and/or on highways, putting driver at risk for a fatal collision. Personally, I have had the sensor replaced multiple times, including hoses and pumps on three different occasions. Soon thereafter, map sensor fails and has caused me to create almost a dozen collisions at high speeds, particularly on highways.

Car would not start in the mornings, then it would after sitting awhile. After a couple of weeks before scheduled maintenance, car wouldn't start. Got it to start again, but drove less than a mile and it stall on a busy bridge. Car started up again and then driver could not get it into 4th gear. Coasted in third gear, but when reaching a stoplight, the car stalled yet again. This time car needed to be towed. While starting the car's headlights were flickering and had problems getting enough gas to the necessary components. Dealer once again could not come up with issue...claiming that fuel pump pressure was in range. However, the car's problem can easily be bad pressure since it occurred every time in the morning while the car sat for more than 8 hours. Whether the dealer could do the necessary comparison test for this issue is questionable since it must have been sitting in the garage. The car is currently at another repair shop. We have no documentation at this point. Will provide when available.

Car was only under my possession for one year and seven months... It was leased brand new . 3/25/14-when got into the car to go to work, car would not start. Discovered it had no battery power. Horn stopped working. Previous to this, week before thermostat light was going on and off. Car was at 14,030 miles. Volkswagen roadside assistance came and brought vehicle to nearest service center which is actually where I bought the car. Service center confirmed dead battery. The dealership including the person who sold me the vehicle attempted to charge me $240 for it and considered it "wear and tear like the tires," until I called volkswagen customer service number right on the location who confirmed that my battery was covered at 24,000 miles or 2 years whatever came first. Volkswagen service center confirmed that horn was in fact inoperable due to blown fuse and replaced it. I was informed by the service agent that the thermostat light was due to low anti-freeze and it was topped off. In addition I requested I multi-point inspection which they conducted. Shortly after receiving the car back on 3/26/14, I noticed by voltage adapter was not working. I assumed it to be a defective phone charger so I purchased a new one. 4/8/14- I tried to use the new charger for my phone in each of the front and back adapter slots. That is when I realized these was something wrong with my adapters possibly after the replacement of the new battery on 3/25/14. My plan was to contact the service center and schedule a check up and have the adapters checked but unfortunately I never was able to do so. That day I was involved in a car accident where I was unable to turn the steering wheel into the exit and ended up crashing into metal guardrail.car had shut off and. Airbag deployed. Car was ruled as a total loss.
