Description of the problem	Driving a 2012 vw cc with 57,000 miles. Driving on highway at 70 mph and attempted to pass a slow moving truck. Accelerated quickly and mid pass the engine lost power and immediately went into "limp mode" with ecr light activated on the dash. Pulled over safely and turned off the engine. After collecting myself, i started engine to drive off highway. Car would not start. I sat a few moments in panic and tried again. The car started and i drove with ecr light on to next exit. The car was sluggish with little acceleration. Pulled to gas station and turned off again. Restarted and the engine rpms ran higher in idle so i turned off the car again. Let it sit and restarted and drove to auto zone where they did a code tester and was told p0229 underboost turbocharger was issue. Auto zone employee said he had seen it many times and its a known issue with 2. 0 turbo engines in vw and audi. The report is attached. Auto zone reset the ecr light and the car was driven to final destination into arizona with no additional issues yet. Researching i found the following link https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t23523_ds493841. This link expresses the opinions of many drivers over the years experiencing this issue and how unsafe and difficult to is to resolve with many folks experiencing thousands of dollars in repairs and never finding a remedy. I am worried and shocked that the car engine can be turned off by a computer with no bypass for the driver. Extremely dangerous while driving.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
