My vehicle does. Sudden stop while I'm driving emergency brake lights up nd then on dash it state to stop vehicle pull over and doesn't want to advance to move out of danger from traffic on streets and freeway. Then I won't want to advanced at time and the prnd all light up at one or none at all at time. This has happened about x 4 times last year and now it keeps doing it every time. So know I just keep my car parked because I'm afraid of putting my kids in danger I can't even take it in to a dealer for airbag recall.

Takata recall. The past two weeks my vehicle has not started as it normally does. It takes two or three key pushes to get my engine to start upon starting my car, and then it fires up. It is difficult to get up to and maintain speeds on the highway. If and when I am maintaining speed on the highway its common for the engine to hiccup and then return back to its speed without any change in acceleration. Going up hills it lacks power and if there is more than one person in the car when going up a hill the car will misfire. On top of all of this it is practically drinking gas like water and I normally get great gas mileage. It is starting to give off a fuel smell while driving too and my mechanic does not know why.

I was in motion driving on a street and then the vehicle made a bump noise and began losing power. I pulled over as the dashboard said the car battery is dead. I tried to restart the car and it wouldn't turn over only cranks. I called a tow truck to pick me up and move my car. He tried to jump it before parking the car and told me my battery is fine.

This is my 2nd time writing only because the problem seems as if it may be more then just one thing! Thinking it was ECM or something electrical, now may be the timing chain or fuel pump or combination of all! The car just randomly shuts off! On the highway, or at a stop, or just at cursing speed! Some times it comes back on, other time it turns over and shuts right off again! I noticed a lot of people having similar problems with this make and model, also noticed a recall for exact symptom my car has, and for the same make model and year as my car but my VIN is not listed in the recall??? Hope something is done to fix this situation soon so that I can remain a loyal volkwagen customer!
