Approximately 6 years my daughter and her boyfriend were driving and she heard a loud pop sound, and thought it might be a tire but it wasnt behaving like it was and then all of the sudden people are driving next to her telling her to pull over cuz the car was on fire, she pulled it over and as soon as she got out the whole car caught fire. When they noticed the fire it had started near or under the passenger front seat, there was no warning lamps or any problems proir. The auto insurance company took the car and they said they inspected it but never gave me any answers, they simply paid off my loan and that was it. The fire department put out the fire, the car was burnt to a crisp, and the fire men were accusing my kid of smoking and starting the fire, so they did no investigation.

While driving at 50 miles per hour, vehicle shifted itself to neutral. . . Slowly changed lanes to emergency lane and came to a hault. Placed car on park tested reverse and it worked. . .

Traveling down the road at 60mph, the engine suddenly lost power and the tachometer redlined before it dropped into first gear. The epc light came on. My wife was driving. I got in and the light was out, so I drove for five minutes and the light came on and I lost power on the highway at 65mph -- same issue with tach. I pulled over to the side of the road and took it to the nearest mechanic shop. It is still at the shop as they are trying to troubleshoot. Noticed that vw put out a tech bulletin in 2009 (15 09 03 Dec. 16, 2009 2015153 supersedes t. B.

I was trying to merge onto expressway traffic and when I pushed on the accelerator the car was unresponsive. It created an unsafe situation where I had to hit the brakes and let the traffic pass by, then I put the car in manual shift so that I could accelerate enough to merge with traffic. The inability to control the speed of the vehicle due to no response from the engine happens usually around speeds of 55 to 65 miles an hour. I have noticed that the car has a delay that takes 1 or 2 seconds when gas pedal is pressed and car start shaking. This results in a lose of power and does not allow me to safely maneuver the vehicle in emergency and non-emergency situations.
