NHTSA Complaint #10748397 — 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I HAVE A 2013 JETTA SPORTWAGEN, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MILES ON A LOCAL, BUT BUSY ROAD. I STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE ENGINE WAS IDLING WAITING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT THEN ENGINE STALLED AGAIN BEFORE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHT FINALLY TURNED GREEN, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND DROVE CAR TO SAFE LOCATION WHERE I THEN TURNED ENGINE OFF. WHEN I TURNED ENGINE BACK ON, I WAITED, LETTING IT IDLE, AND IT STOPPED AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. I DID NOT SEE ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT IN A Q & A FOR THE RADIO TALK SHOW CARTALK, CARTALK HOSTS RECOMMENDED A NEW CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR BE INSTALLED TO CORRECT THIS SAME ISSUE, ALSO ON A JETTA. DEALER DID THIS AT MY REQUEST, BUT I HAD TO PAY $400+. DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TAKE UP THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND SEE IF MANUFACTURER WOULD REIMBURSE ME. SO FAR, THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME. I AM DRIVING CAR, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF PROBLEM IS RESOLVED OR WILL RECUR.
