general problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Golf

Had to replace the map sensor 3 times in 2 years. Manifold problem. There are no recalls for this vehicle but the problem persists. Had to pay $700 each time to fix.

I filed a vehicle buyback with Volkswagens vehicle buyback program in February of 2016. I waited and called back and forth trying to find out about my vehicle and if it was going to get bought back. Volkswagen kept telling me my documents were invalid and I had to re-do them each time and send them back and wait longer for a response. On 08/23/2017, they made me reset my claim because they supposedly "filed me in the wrong category". After that, all my documents finally got accepted, and have been "under review" for the past 9 months. They have been reviewing my documents and haven't been moving forward with my case for almost 2 years and my car has been sitting in my driveway waiting to be turned in. I am afraid to drive it because of the possible health effects it might have on me and my surroundings but Volkswagen is being negligent and ignoring my claim, even though it is 100% valid because I have owned my car since 2014. Please look into this claim with care and help me figure this out. It has been a very hard struggle for me and I am just dreading to get this over with.

While driving the vehicle simply shut off. I turned on hazzards, put car into park, restarted, put car back into drive and drove away. This was on the I-35 frontage road and I could have easily been rearended / killed. Happened one other time on the bqe in new york several months prior. After the first incident I was told by the authorized service dept. "probably a glitch, won't happen again. " waiting for a third incident where I'm not so lucky.

Had just refueled vehicle a day prior when on lunch break vehicle lost power while driving. Upon entering a heavily congested intersection the vehicle lost power and stalled causing steering, braking and control to be compromised. Started vehicle to move out of heavy traffic and drove directly to an automotive repair shop. Upon inspection the repair facility discovered metal particles throughout fuel system causing unsafe driving conditions listed above including stalling and loss of control.

Found metal shavings in fuel filter housing which will lead to the eventual failure of the hpfp and could become a potential hazard on the road. There was no failure yet but I just wanted this to be recorded as there are numerous other failures of this sort which could lead to more severe accidents.
