1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2020

Twice while driving the vehicle would not shift then stall. Once it also started to shake, won't go over 30 mph. Its exactly as what is described in recall 19v866, however my VIN doesn't seem to qualify for this recall. Quote is over 5k - when my vehicle diagnostic ran, there are 3 recalls showing, however when I put my VIN in, it shows 0. There's also a new recall for this exact issue - but haven't heard anything regarding my specific VIN.

2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2020

My vehicle for a few years now has stalled out on me and caused it to go in to limp mode. This is very dangerous and I see there is a recall and no fix is available but the hybrid system shuts completely down when it does this and I cannot do anything with the vehicle at that time. It will happen anywhere I am where it's a back road or on the interstate. I feel that Volkswagen should take back this veh because of the faulty system. I feel Volkswagen should pay my loan off so I can get in to another safer vehicle.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2020

I was told that my transmissions had a recall and when I called there were no open recalls for them I've been having a problem recently where my car was going from electric to gasoline which caused my car yo stall and then when I pressed on the gas my car would not go but the car would still be on with no dash bored lights on they come on and then they turn off. I asked if they can look at what was replaced and they said it would charge me an expensive amount to pay per hour which is crazy! when I first got the car there were a lot of codes that they completely erased from the car the day after I got it from another owner I was already having issues and she called and asked just there was no available slots then too. What my car is doing is dangerous and it's scary I don't even want to drive it at this point and I only had it since March 13th if this year and the recall was done in February the one guy told me and I'm the beginning he told me January and they won't do nothing about it my e mode won't come on anymore and when my car is in stationary it jerks continuously.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2019

For the last 30,000 miles my vehicle has sporadically stalled out or shuddered heavily as if it was about to stall while driving at low speeds or accelerating. This month however, my vehicle stalled out and completely lost power for a few seconds while driving at low speed in heavy traffic on the interstate. Each time I was driving straight and not turning was involved. My transmission has been replaced twice and each time this did not solved the issue. These incidents keep increasing in severity and occur randomly so I do not know when to expect. I feel unsafe when these instances occur.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2019

The vehicle stalls intermittently, losing power to the engine. At first, it began to happen monthly (50,000 miles) only while the vehicle was stationary (at stop lights or idling in the driveway). The engine would lose power and the battery light would come on, and the vehicle could be started again immediately. The vehicle also exhibited lurching acceleration at low gears. It would not trigger any codes (for either issue), and multiple vw dealerships were unable to replicate and diagnose the problem. The stalling then occurred while driving (70,000 miles), causing the steering to lock up. This occurred while on a freeway at 70 mph; the vehicle had to be pushed off the freeway by an officer and then towed. Still, the vehicle did not produce any codes. After over 1 month at the dealership service center and replacement of 4 different wires that appeared corroded, and the transmission valve body, the same issues persisted. The stalling began to happen more frequently, both while stationary and while driving, and began to trigger the epc light (80,000 miles). By this time it was clearly unsafe to drive. Not willing to rent a car for an unknown duration for the service center to attempt to replicate and diagnose the issue, I was forced to purchase a new vehicle.

6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

Twice stalled at a traffic light, currently has engine malfunction code p2015 for intake flap valve failure. Vw states it is a known problem for the ccta engine code for 2011-2012 vw 2. 0t tsi engines. However since it wasn't extended to my vehicle even though they are the same they will not honor the extended warranty because NHTSA didn't identify my vehicle year yet.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2017

We purchased our 2013 Jetta in November 2016 from casey Chevrolet, a "certified used vehicle" dealership in our area. A couple months after the purchase, we were having trouble with the car stalling as well as transmission troubles. The vehicle has stalled on my pregnant wife and 2 year old at least four times. Once she was at a stop light and it completely shut down, the next she was in a fast food drive-through line, the third time she was trying to maneuver a turn, and the final time she was backing out of the babysitters drive way. With respect to the transmission, there have been many instances where either she or I would be attempting to merge or just need to pick up speed and in between shifts the car would hesitate and then shift very aggressively. We have contacted the dealership multiple times and each time we take it in they can't find a problem so they give us the car back. On the other hand, they have "solved" the transmission problem twice only for it to reappear at a later time. They have refused to replace the vehicle or refund us the purchase price. We have also contacted Volkswagen who likewise refuses to refund or replace their product. Right now the car is parked in our driveway because we do not feel it is safe to drive. My wife is now driving my truck and I am in my older car from college. All the while, payments still have to be made which is very frustrating. I feel that two companies I thought were trustworthy have taken advantage of my family and I.

10 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2015

My Jetta se 2013 keeps stalling while driving. It happened since I bought it and took it to the dealership a couple of times, and nothing wrong was found. It has happened a few times during the highway and almost have been in a couple of deadly accidents. This has also happened while driving in regular streets at about 30-40mph. I have been reading that this is a common issue, but so far vw has not done anything about it. Also, both headlights are not working anymore. It seems might be an issue with some sensors, but nothing that they have been able to identify.
