NHTSA Complaint #10353996 — 2007 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I DRIVE A 2007 JETTA WOLFSBERG. IN APRIL 2010 I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. MY HUSBAND WENT OUT AND IT STARTED FOR HIM. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. A WEEK LATER THE CAR'S ENGINE JUST DIED WHILE TRAVELING 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHECKED ALL THE WIRING HARNESSES AND OVERLAID A WIRE. ONE DAY AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR BACK I HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT AGAIN. REPORTED THIS TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE. TWO DAYS LATER THE ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WOULD NOT START. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. TOWED BACK TO SERVICE WHERE THEY HAD A VW ENGINEER LOOK AT THE CAR. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. ALL SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE MY AUNT SENT TO ME. THE ARTICLE SAID THE GOVERNMENT IS INVESTIGATING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER VW MODELS (STALLING, LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE). *TR
