NHTSA Complaint #11447991 — 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

While driving home from work the vehicle suddenly stopped and stalled in the middle of the road creating an unsafe condition with regard to oncoming traffic. There were no indicator lights that the vehicle was in need of attention, the check engine light was never on, the car had sufficient oil and gas and the battery less than a year old. The vehicle had to be towed. After having a mechanic look at it was told the engine seized and will have to be replaced. The car is only 6 years old and has less than 85k miles on it. Upon looking into the issue with 2014 VW Jettas, I have read several reports of similar instances happening to many others, some even within a year of owning the car. This is a safety hazard. When I spoke to VW of America, I was told there was a recall of the ECM (electronic control module) however they would not give me information as to whether this would cause the car to stall or to need a new engine and would not pay to have their faulty vehicle taken to the dealership via a tow.
