Description of the problem | A little over a month ago, i was leaving work and came to a stop light. I accelerated to go after the light turned green and the cc started to accelerate, and then with no warning, it completely locked down and stalled. I was able to crank it back up and went home without incident. There were no warning messages, lights... Anything to indicate a problem. Later that day, i took my daughter to dance and experienced the same issue. I was able to turn around and the next day we put the car in the shop. The mechanic determined that it was happening due to an oil cap not being placed in right after an oil change. This was fixed, and the car performed okay for about a week, and then stalled again; same circumstance: middle of traffic, after a stop, no warning. The car went back into the shop. This time the mechanic determined it was something to do with the turbo seal. This was 'fixed'. Car was returned and again was okay for about a week. It once again stalled. Same circumstance. This time, the mechanic stated he didn't know what was wrong with it. We then took the car in to someone who specializes in vw. He determined it was a defective fuel sensor. He replaced the sensor and we had the car returned to us today. It died on my husband in the middle of traffic. It is now back in the shop, but the mechanic states he has no idea what is wrong with it; it is showing no error codes. I don't know what to do at this point. I have researched this problem and it appears to be common in vw ccs. How has this not been a recall issue? This is extremely dangerous; there is no warning when it completely locks down. Not too safe in 5pm rush hour bumper to bumper traffic. |
