I owe a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta that I have been back and forward for a licensed dealership reporting that my car shuts off completely while driving. Iit have been during this about June 2007 and it has been to dealership about 6 times for this same thing I took it in April 2008 and they told me I need a new engine after several of months letting them diagnose the problem. I am paying car note for a car I can not drive. I seen good morning America and they say it is only 2009-2010 models when I have a 2006 they has shut off on me in traffic in birmingham, al , mobile, and mississippi. I call Volkswagen they told me that they could not help me because of my mileage they can only give me a 1000 dollars towards another Volkswagen. I told them that I will not buy another. At 1st they told me that I need and O2 sensor and the next time they could not find anything until they reported that it was my engine.
