When I pulled out into traffic and pushed on gas the car would not go it sounded as if the engine just shut off the car literally had lost all power to it I pulled over to the side and the epc light was on as well as the check engine light. I had my baby with me that just had surgery day before and I was terrified because I had no idea what was happening. I gave it a few minutes and started the car of which at first sounded as if it wasn't going to start. I was only a couple minutes from my house and had no resources to help and couldnt walk with my son. Got the car back to the house but it again did the same thing and continued to do the same with sounding like it did not want to start. I had talked with a mechanic that said to get it into a vw dealer asap as this is very dangerous and should not be happening with this new of a car with such low miles. Finding this site it looks as if there has been a few issues that sound similiar and recalls. I just need a car that I can drive.

My check engine line came on; code P05A0. A scan showed that it is my active radiator shutter assembly that is causing the error. My car only has 26K miles, and it seems strange that it would be having an issue. When I took my car to the dealership, the service rep told me it is a very common issue. It is also going to cost around $900 to repair. My car is perfectly drivable (the service rep confirmed it), but I won't be able to pass emissions in AZ with my check engine light being on. The shutters remain open at all times. I can hear it open and close and reopen sometimes when I start my car or while I'm driving, but it will always remain open. My dealership is so backed up that I'd have to leave my car for several days before they could even get to it. I do not have the time or money to do the work, so I didn't leave it for it to be repaired. I have found others on VW forums that have gotten the same error message at about the same mileage I am at. Your organization released a technical bulletin for this issue for 15-16 Jettas, and I appreciate it if you could look to see if the issue continued through the 17 models.

On three separate occasions, while driving between 65-75mph on the highway with 1/4 to 1/2 full tank of gas, my car began to stutter/hesitate. Immediately the "epc" light came on with the check engine symbol, blinking. All power to the accelerator ceased. I immediately pulled over on each instance, turned the car off and waited 2-5 minutes. After waiting, I successfully re-started the car each time, with the check engine light remaining on. After the first instance, I drove <40mph to a volkswagen dealer and left my car to be inspected. The conclusion was, "not enough gasoline", despite the tank reading 1/4 full. After that instance, I made a point to never let the gas fall below 1/2 full. On the two other occasions of hesitation/loss of power, the tank fell between 1/4 and 1/2 full. After pulling over, turning the car off, and restarting the car, I immediately drove to a gas station and filled up to a full tank without bringing in for inspection. Keeping the gas tank above 1/2 full, I have not experienced the issue. When the gas falls below 1/2 a tank, it has occurred while highway driving.
