Car randomly stalls while driving and shuts off without warning in the middle of the road. Immediately is able to turn back on without issues. Took to mechanic and they couldn't find any issues and said the car had zero error codes. This has happened multiple times while driving low speeds, usually when driving stop and go with street lights

My car would randomly stall while driving, happens both when braking and not braking. When it stalls steering wheel locks up, cannot press gas pedal, and brakes stop working almost. This is incredibly dangerous because while on a road at 50mph+ and my car suddenly stops it can cause a serious accident. The dealer has been able to reproduce it multiple times, and has said it is a common problem. The only warning light that switched on was the battery light after it had stalled. Currently at the VW dealership and was told that it was the fuel filter, was not the problem and car continued to stall more. Not only was a good part replaced but created an even more dangerous situation than before.

This Jetta Sportwagen TDI is one of the "diesel gate" vehicles that was supposedly fixed. However, post fix, the vehicle has been at the dealership for repairs more than it has been on the road for various emissions related issues revolving around the exhaust gas recirculation system and diesel particulate filter. Vehicle is washed regularly, including scrubbing of the chaise pipe ends with heavy duty soot cleaning solution. vehicle takes less than a week to collect enough soot on the tailpipe to cause transference to finger when whipped. This is an indication that an excessive amount of soot is not being properly recirculated by the exhaust gas recirculating system to be rebut in the diesel particulate filter. This also indicates that the "fix" for the cheating emissions system is not doing its job and vehicle is likely emitting particulate and NOX at levels far above legal limits.

Driving this VW Jetta tdi 2011 on the 605 freeway South in long beach when the yellow glow plug light started linking. Car lost power. Would not accelerate, I rolled out of the freeway to an exit. After this engine stopped. Car would not start anymore.I called VW care to start a claim because this car belongs to the diesel gate scandal. To my bad luck, I found out a few weeks after I bought this car, 12/17/2019, that they had many repairs made and also that the fuel pump will go bad and the repair cost thousands of dollars. The lady of VW care, (800)822-8987 told me that my warranty for the fuel pump expired at 174,620. She asked me whats the current mileage. That is 174,847. So she said my car is not covered any more. I still asked her to put in a claim. She gave me the following claim number:[xxx]. I just feel very suspicious after they hid so much information before during the scandal for my car to die exactly a few hundred miles after this warranty expires. There are thousands of these cars out there. Can someone investigate because why will my car die exactly a few miles after the warranty expire. Have they played with the computers to do another similar thing? I hope not. What I hope is that in good faith VW repairs my car at VW of garden grove here in California. That is where I made an appointment to take the car Monday April 27, 2020. I have just had this car for 4 months. :( to look up my cars warranty under the diesel gate: Https://www.vwdieselinfo.com/ input my VIN number: [xxx] notice that they add 48,000 miles to the last service fix made to the car. It was 126,618 miles. That adds to 174,618 now the car is at 174,847 you can also visit: vwcourtsettlement.com/ information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The car randomly stalls!!! this has happened several times and the dealer says nothing is wrong because there are no codes. This is so dangerous and I do not feel safe driving it. Twice the car stalled when sitting at a stop light and once when I was driving on the city street. It will restart after I let it sit. It also stutters/jumps and de excellerates.

Key gets stuck in ignition when turning engine off

- Minnetonka, MN, USA

Driving my car I would come to a stop and my car would shut off. My battery light would then appear. Had battery and alternator checked 4X was told that they are in perfect condition. Battery comes on but radio still on. I was told that it had to be a wiring problem. So I took it to my Volkswagen dealership and they keep telling me they can't diagnose a problem. I don't feel comfortable and safe driving the car on city streets and sometimes on the interstate. I just need my car fixed it has caused me so much stressed I am now on high blood pressure medication.
