Description of the problem	I was driving on the freeway mesa,az at the rate of speed 72 mph and the car just shut off, i put it in neutral and coasted through traffic, i was able to get it from the fast lane to shoulder, my heart was racing, i put the car in park try to start it didn't start for a few minutes, drove home few miles away. With no problems. Next morning wouldn't start. With 59,500 miles i was stocked. Had the codes read coils, spark plugs, so i changed them. Still didn't start. 3 day later, (she's garage kept) and started up. Well in the last 6 month's it has done the same thing 9 times on the freeway, 4 times in the city. Took it to vw dealership they read codes p0087 witch is low pressure fuel pump, fuel pump control module, fuel filter. So buying all new parts, i got fuel pump control module & fuel filter at vw dealership, fuel pump over the internet all new parts. The vw parts manager told me that vw has had problems with control module on other models, i think he said that they were recalled on jetta's, golf's and vw has updated the fuel pump control module on my 2010 vw gti 2. 0 turbo 3or4 times. I asked how do i know if i'm buying updated version or not, he pointed out the different part numbers and said your good to go. I youtube video of r & r fuel pump, fuel pump control module, and fuel filter. My car ran great for 20. 5 miles, starting it up two days later at home, i'm letting it warm up the motor for a few minutes and just quit again wouldn't start up. Then i find out there's a updated & upgraded fuel pump control module that's has 32 amps. Going to the fuel pump, wires, device, clips for $699. 00 after i spent $500. 00 on the parts installed. My point is that someone who is not smart enough, strong enough, and road conditions vary may not get to the side of the road with no power steering, power brakes, everything on a car quits. Hope nobody gets hurt/ killed.
