Car Stall problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta

Epc warning light came on suddenly; vehicle throttled down and continued to buck and stall out; loss of power and speed. Very dangerous while in traffic. No specific diagnostic code(s) were saved or triggered. This causes costly and unneeded diagnostics and repairs.

My Jetta began having issues starting once driven. It progressed to stalling while idling and at traffic lights. It further progressed to stalling while driving, slowing for turns ect. The emc relay was replaced by mechanic. Apparently this is a common problem that needs to be recalled by Volkswagen.

Excessive stalling at intersections, almost hit when making a right turn because the car stalled. Restart the car and works fine, but is getting more frequent.

My vehicle started flashing the engine light. Then its started stalling. I turned it off ,waited a couple minutes and it was fine to drive but still had the engine light on. Nothing happened until the next day, the engine light wasnt on anymore. As I was driving at 70 mph it started stalling again. Took it to a shop and they told me I had a couple of codes on. It was cleared just to make sure it wasnt something else. After about 100 miles of driving the engine light turned on again and the car started stalling again at around 65mph. I changed the spark plugs and the spark plug wires. Runs great until another 100miles of driving, it started stalling at around 75mph. Everytime the light comes on, I turn the car off wait a couple minutes and turn it back on with out any signs of misfiring.

"the engine may idle rough and stumble upon acceleration. This may be due to faulty engine control module software misadjusting the valve timing. " thi is the current safety recall for the same make model and year of my car, however, my VIN has not been included. This is the issue with my car. It will happen while in park, when slowing down to stop at a stop sign, a light, or in a drive thru. My car has stalled as a result at a stop sign and at a light. Last time this happened was yesterday.

One day I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a small street with a slight hill. Felt like the car was stalling but I thought maybe I didn't press on the gas hard enough. The car rolled slightly backwards until I hit the brakes. I tried pressing the gas harder. Next thing I knew, the engine was off and battery warning light came on. A couple of other lights came on as well, but those come on and then go off often so I don't know what to make of that. The next day I was driving down the road and as I slowed down with traffic approaching stop light the vehicle started to shake as if it was trying to quit on me. I pulled over into a bank parking lot to stop and restart the car. Another light came on but it is off now. I'm worried that this will happen again and result in an accident. Not sure what is wrong or if the vehicle is safe to drive.

I purchased my car in mid-Feb 2014 and it performed flawlessly the winter of 2014. I started my car on Monday Jan 5 (oat +5f) let it idle for a minute and drove 35 mi to work on the highway (rpm >2500), I don't have a temp gage, but my car did not seem to warm up like normal. (usually its warm after about 3 mi, and hot after 10-15). After work (+8hrs later) I started my car (oat +15f), letting it idle for a minute then drove out of the parking garage (~100') and my car lost power, and had a flashing glow plug light, I believe this was limp mode. I pulled into a parking lot, let my car idle for a few minutes and there was no change. I shut the car off, waited a minute or two, and restarted the engine, appeared to run fine and I continued my drive home. I pulled my vagcom codes and saw that p0299, low boost pressure, I attempted to get my car into the dealer, but they were too busy. I did not drive my car Tuesday, but drove it to and from work Wednesday without a problem. On Thursday morning I started my car (-5f), it idled for less than a minute and then died. It continued to turn over, but would not start. I pulled the codes again (did not clear them from earlier in the week) and saw that I had a new fault p0087, low fuel pressure. I had my car towed to the dealer (vw roadside is slow, but free) and did not hear anything from the dealer until Friday afternoon. I was told that ice was discovered in my intercooler and that it had been replaced and the cold weather kit was installed.

Went to start my car and car would not start. Called local vw dealer. They thought I should try to get a jump for the battery. I knew it was not the battery, as it is a new car. They suggested I call vw roadside assistance, which I did. The car was towed to the closest vw dealer. Was told the car was in hydrolock and ice was found in the hose and intercooler. After removing the glow plugs, ice was also found in the cylinders. In addition, ice was also found in the oil and oil pan. I was told by the service manager that this was a known issue for vehicles in the northeast. The "fix" was to install an updated intercooler, pressure sensor and valve in the front of throttle body. My concern is that if this is a "known issue" why is there no recall. Also, I feel that the engine has been comprised being that there was ice found in multiple places. I called the dealer where the car was purchased (not same dealer that did repair) and let them know about it. I was also seeking an extended warranty so whatever damage was done to the engine would be covered in the future. Dealer told me to call vw directly, which I did and got nowhere. I was told that there was still a lot of time left on my current warranty and if something did happen to the engine after the original warranty was expired, they would take this incident into consideration. Not very reassuring to someone who drives over 100 miles per day.

Vehicle is shutting down during operation. Three times now, the car has shut off while sitting at a traffic light. The car will just stall out. Oddly, it restarts with ease when placed back in park. It will sometimes shutter while accelerating from a stop, as if it is going to stall. It has a gas engine, with an automatic transmission. Dealer recently addressed the problem by replacing a relay to the fuel pump. Unfortunately, the problem remains. Yesterday, it stalled while driving along a side street. Car is back at the dealers.

The contact owns 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving 40-50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that a unknown sensor needed to be replaced. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160 and the current mileage was 210.

The car stalls intermittently upon initial acceleration. Brought vehicle to two different dealerships for diagnostic. The responses were: "vehicle is found to be operating normally when compared to same or similar type vehicle. " and "compare car to a diff car, both car act the same. ".

Three times in ~2 hours car stalled at stop signs. Vehicle was at complete stop. Lifted foot off brake and when touched gas car stalled. Car is an automatic.

Stopped for pedestrian crossing the street, normal stop, took my foot off the brake, stepped on the gas and nothing! car stalled and I could not move. Traffic was backing up behind me and the car wouldn't move. Put it in park, turned it off and on, after two minutes it finally worked when I stepped on the gas. Did the same thing about two weeks later. . . Twice in one day! took it to the dealer the same day it happened first, told me I had an engine software recall, spent two hours at the dealer. They told me it was "fixed. " two weeks later, at a stop sign and then a red light, did the same thing. Brought it to another deal that night, who told me there was no loaner cars available, took the car for three days! they called back and said they could not recreate the problem, therefore they were giving me back the car. I don't feel safe!! have had numerous other problems with the car since October 2013, has been in the shop 8 times in 6 months. . . . Now affected by the o-ring recall!.

More than 10 time for the past 4 months, car intermittently stalled at stop signs, traffic lights, or ezpass tunnel. It happened when the car is either at a complete stop or at a very low speed. One time it suddenly shut down on a highway during traffic jam. Took to dealer for half day in October but was not able to identify why and did nothing to fix.
