Description of the problem	My 2017 volkswagen tiguan has 19,000 miles on it. I just bought it from a honda dealership (single owner, leased) body is in like new shape. The car has stalled on while driving 6 times total, on 3 different occasions, while driving. The engine just shut off without warning (stalled out) while the car was moving over 40mph and an epc light came on. This is extremely dangerous, and left my family in a very dangerous situation on the highway. A car engine should never shut off while driving and now has me feeling very unsafe when driving it. It has been in and out of the local vw dealership for 3 weeks. This car is only a year old and has less than 20,000 miles on it. It should not be stalling out without warning and leaving my family in severely dangerous situations. There is no indication before hand that the car is going to stall. After it stalls out it can take up to 5 minutes to start again. Holding the start button (while putting the car in neutral because it stalled out while driving) to hopefully get it to start again on a dangerous highway in motion in traffic with nothing but a prayer to help us. This needs to be fixed. I would rather have my family safe and my car engine destroy itself, rather than the current process of my car engine "shutting itself down without warning to save itself" while leaving my family in dangerously unsafe situations while driving with a car that turns itself off as it pleases potentially creating a situation in which my family could be injured or worse (as it shuts itself down with a mind of its own when it thinks there is a problem). This car is new and has been at the dealership longer than in my driveway. I do not feel safe letting my family drive it. I lost confidence in this car and have great doubt in its future affordability and safety, reliability. I am very, very concerned.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
