Description of the problem	On four separate occasions the car has lost power while in drive on city streets. First occasion april 23 2014 the coolant/water pump failed as did fuse. May 23 fuel pump failed and fuel pump panel. July 28 car died while driving due to faulty fuel injector. Yesterday aug 15 2016 car again lost power while driving on city streets and had to be towed (fourth time with less than 50k miles) to dealer. I am awaiting diagnosis but no longer feel safe in the vehicle. Twice i was fortunate that police officers showed up and were able to push my car out of traffic and to safety but at this point i believe vw should take action to replace the car as it has clearly proven a safety hazard for myself and others on the road.
