Consumer Description

2006 PASSAT PURCHASED OCTOBER 2009 WITH 48,000 MILES, ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR NOW STARTS AND CUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY AND HAS CUT OFF AROUND 6 OR 7 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY! I HAVE TO PULL OFF SAFELY BUT IN A HURRY TO AVOID POSSIBLE COLLISIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST VW FOR NEGLIGENCE. THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE THESE MODELS HAVE. I'M GOING TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR THIS. IF NOT I WILL SUE MYSELF TO RECOVER THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. TO ALL THE OTHER OWNERS, BE SAFE!! *TR
