NHTSA Complaint #11115682 — 2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC

FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND RELOCATED ON JULY 18TH, 2018. HOWEVER, ON AUGUST 3RD, 2018, WHILE DRIVING ALONE IN THE #4 LANE OF THE FREEWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. NO WARNING. NO CHUGGING. THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ENOUGH TRAFFIC FOR THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON. THANKFULLY IT DID WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO GIVING ME JUST ENOUGH TIME TO CUT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY WERE PERPLEXED AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T FLASHING, WHICH AT THE TIME IT WASN'T. THAT DEALERSHIP TURNED ME AWAY AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 MORE MILES BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. SINCE I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED PRIOR, I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT I WON'T BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. HAD TRAFFIC BEEN GOING AT THE REGULAR SPEED, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. I NEED TO BE REASSURED THAT THESE RECALLS ARE DONE RIGHT AND TESTED TO ENSURE THERE AREN'T FAULTY PARTS AND THAT SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.
