Jetta Hybrid 4-cyl

  • 4,394 miles
All warning lights came on and the car died (stalled out) on an interstate highway. Car was not drivable. Lost all power. The car had to be towed to the nearest VW dealer (VW of naples, fl). Upon inspection, the dealer noted that the hybrid would run for about 3-minutes and then turn off. VW determined that the electric drive power and control electronic module (JX1) had failed. It took 12 days to repair, since the power module needed to be shipped from germany. The root cause for the power module (JX1) failure is currently not known. Please investigate further, since this is a safety concern.
