Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE; FOR MONTHS NOW, HAS EITHER NOT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS AND A MAJOR FREEWAY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER BUT THE BATTERY HAS POWER. POWER STEERING BECOMES LOST AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD OR FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDOL WHEN THIS OCCURS AND BECOMES UNSAFE TO HANDLE AND CAREFULLY REMOVE FROM A BUSY ROAD.I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO VW SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THET CANNOT FIX IT. NO CODE COMES UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND NO CHECK ENGINE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD IT TO ME, AND SELF DIAGNOSING IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE.
