Consumer Description

THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BREAKS (I HAVE TO PUT ALL I GOT INTO TRYING TO STEER THE CAR TO JUST PULL OVER!). I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES. TOOK IT TO 3 GARAGES AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR NEVER GAVE ANY COMPUTER CODES WHEN IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I'M WONDER HOW VW KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS FAILED TO INFORM THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. IF MY VAN SHUTS OFF ON THE FREEWAY, THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS!
