| Description of the problem | Vehicle would turn off while in drive. Originally happened when going in reverse up a hill, vehicle warning to put into park and manually restart. Happened 2 more times and was brought in for repair. Dealership was unable to duplicate the issue. It happened again and was brought back to the dealership. They contacted vw and recommended the fuel pump be replaced. They completed the repairs. Then a week later while driving on the parkway at approx. 75 mph the vehicle began slowing down, i was driving in the middle lane, i was able to start to get over to the shoulder as the vehicle started declining speed, i was unable to use the gas, so i was almost coasting to the shoulder. Then it stated put in park and start vehicle manually while the vehicle was still in drive and at a speed of 45. I was able to get to the shoulder and parked the vehicle, everything locked up. There was an epc light on, a check engine light. The vehicle was towed. |
