We have been having an issue with the engine stalling out while driving. It started with the epc light coming on several months ago, but the light does not stay on and there has been no consistency to the occurrences. However, now, the car will stay running for long and stalls out shortly after starting. The epc comes on sometimes, but not every time that is stalls out. Today I took the car for a drive around the block, as soon as I got it back home, it stalled out. From that point on the car would not stay running for more than 15 seconds.

Driving down the road at 35 mph the car suddenly dies, leaving me no power to escape a possible accident, brakes are hard to use, stuck in a traffic lane with cars coming up on me at 35 to 45 mph, turns out the hpfp exploded sending metal thru out the fuel system causing the engine to starve for fuel and stall out, with no fuel getting to the engine the motor wont restart causing a life threatening situation.

I am "guessing at some of the information above since it was the first time it happened and I didn't give it much thought then. At that time, I was making a right-hand turn to another street and the engine stalled. There was no warning light or signal. I pulled over to the side of the road, restarted the engine and it worked fine. This occurred sometime in mid to late September. Yesterday (12/24/2014) I was at a stoplight and this happened again -- the engine stalled while I was already stopped while waiting for the light to change from red to green. Again, there was no warning light or signal. It was remniscent of when I drove a standard transmission vehicle and inappropriately took my foot off the clutch. I was able to re-start and engine ran fine. I am leery of driving the car again, however, for fear that this will happen again. I plan to take to my mechanic ASAP. Reading the descriptions others have had with this issue are very similar to mine. I have kept up with maintenance and care of the vehicle and it has less than 25k miles on it.
The vehicle's engine stalled while traveling down the roadway at approximately 35 mph. The vehicle's electrical system continued to operate (driving lights, interior lights, power steering and power brakes) during this time. Engaged emergency flashers and coasted vehicle to a stop at the nearest parking lot. After placing transmission into park, vehicle restarted with no further incident.
My engine check light came on, followed by the glow plug light and then my engine stalled and died 30 secs later. My hazard lights, dashboard lights, etc functioned, but I could not bring the engine back to life. Policeman suggested it may be a fuel pump, because when I tried the accelerator pedal while trying to start the car, it did not help. I had 3/4 tank of diesel still in my tank and I always fill at the same pump which has a yellow handle and says "diesel" and I am the only one who has filled the tank on this vehicle.
I was going down the road at approximately 45 mph, the engine lost power and stalled. I was able to pull to the side of the road, then have it towed. My spouse is an engine machinist, and after talking to a Volkswagen dealership, and taking the car apart, found metal shavings throughout the fuel system. So far, he has spent $3200 for parts which has depleted our saving account. He is self employed and I work part time and part time student, paying $400 a month for a car we thought would be safe, dependable and economical! this is clearly a safety issue, documented for over 2 years with no responsibility taken by vw, who has falsely denied any ongoing issue of this sort. Fortunately, my husband can do the labor, but people are spending $8,000 to $10,000 to get this vw problem fixed, and in some cases has happened again. This high pressure fuel system is faulty and unsafe. Vw needs to take responsibility for their product to ensure customer safety on the roadways.
