Consumer Description

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2.5 HAS STALLED OUT WHILE MOVING. FIRST 2 OCCASIONS (OCCURRING A FEW WEEKS APART) OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER START-UP IN PARKING LOT. ENGINE STALLED, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, RADIO AND LIGHTS STAY ON. DEALER KEEPS CAR FOR 1 WEEK FIRST TIME, 1 MONTH SECOND TIME. NO CODES PULLED, NO REPLICATION OF PROBLEM, DEALER RETURNS CAR TO ME. 3RD TIME THE ENGINE STALLED HAPPENED APPROX 1 MONTH AFTER DEALER RETURNED CAR WHILE MOVING ON HIGHWAY. APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MILES PER HOUR. NEARLY CAUSED MULTI-CAR WRECK. CAR STALLED IN CENTER LANE WITH NOT ENOUGH POWER OR STEERING TO MOVE TO SIDE. DEALER NOW HAS CAR FOR 3RD TIME, STILL NO IDEA WHAT PROBLEM MAY BE. CAR RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER STALL WITH NO ISSUES. WORKING WITH DEALER, VW REGIONAL MANAGER, AND VW OF AMERICA. STILL NO PROBLEMS FOUND, BUT TERRIFIED FOR CAR TO BE RETURNED TO ME. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DAILY. NEXT HIGHWAY STALL MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. *TR
