IN DECEMBER OF 2015,2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING CAR,WHILE DRIVING MY EPC LIGHT CAME ON MY CAR HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER,SHUDDERED,AND STALLED. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED.FAST ENOUGH. I CALLED THE VW DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAID THE CAR HAS TO COME IN TO BE CHECKED. AFTER 2 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS,AND THEY ACTUALLY CALLED VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA RE THE PROBLEM. THEY DECIDED THAT IT WAS A CONNECTIVITY ISSUE AND THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS,THE CAR HAS TO BE TOWED IN AS DRIVING COULD BE DANGEROUS. ALSO A RECALL NHTSA# 15V705 JUST CAME IN THE MAIL ABOUT RECALL 23R1. THERE ARE A POTENTIAL 3 OTHER RECALLS ON THE VW 2015 PASSAT.
