| Description of the problem | Urgent issue-safety my vehicle is experiencing issues with shutting down while in motion. I travel on the turnpike to work each day and it has happened a couple times now. I am absolutely afraid to drive the vehicle that i am not going to be able to get off the road. I contacted vw and gave them to vin to check on recalls and they state that my vehicle is not showing a recall for this issue. I did some research and seen that they have had 2 recalls (11v151000-march 2011 and 15v194000-april 2015) for this very issue. Additionally on this site i can see the vehicle has have 130+ complaints with 70+ of them being for this issue with the vehicle shutting off while driving. I am absolutely astonished that vw has had 2 safety recalls for this issue and continue to receive complaints and yet they have just not recalled all vehicles. This is a serious safety concern for not only myself and my family but others out there on the road with me and my vw. Please don't wait for people to be killed in accidents before you take action. |
