NHTSA Complaint #11163988 — 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

MY CAR WHILE ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT WAS RUNNING BUT PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SHOULDER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED 5 MIN, & TURNED IT BACK ON. THE EPC LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO THEN MANEUVER SLOWLY TO A NEARBY TRUCK STOP TO CALL FOR A TOW. THE CAR SURGED THE WHOLE TIME. 1 WEEK LATER THE VW DEALERSHIP SAYS ENGINE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FAILURE & THAT IT WILL COST ME $1200. OF COURSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY & NO RECALLS. THIS IS DANGEROUS & COSTLY.
