Car shuts off while driving on highway. Lost all power. Pulled over, placed in park, and then the car started. Engine light stayed on. Happen multiple times. I don't feel safe driving this car.
After exiting the freeway and got to the overpass I had to stop, after a accelerated the engine shut down, lost all electrical power except for the radio, fortunately after the overpass was a downgrade so the car was able to coast to safety on to the shoulder. This has not been the first incident where the vehicle has lost complete power while driving in city streets. This is my wife's car, she had complained to me of the car not starting after she gotten off work, we tried to jump started it and it still would not start, so it had to wait till I got off from work. Soon as I got to the vehicle after my shift, I tried to crank start it and the vehicle started with out hesitation. While driving in the city street, after making a stop the vehicle engine shut off, I was unaware since the radio was still playing, so my wife pointed out this had been happening to her as well, even after we replaced the battery. So I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he mentioned that this could be an alternator problem, so we replaced the alternator as well, but the vehicle continues to shut down or it just won't start. I decided to check the wiring to the battery and to the distributor and after doing this the vehicle will start up again. Last episode was on 11/15/2019 as I exited the freeway on my way to work. When I got home I remembered that my wife had handed me a couple of latters from the vw dealer witch we had omitted since we bought the vehicle used in a car lot. This is how I found out that these letters where notices of the recalls on this particular vehicle. I shared this with a friend that claims he also had the same problem with a vw vehicle he owned, he explained that the problem in his unknown vw model, the electrical wiring was at fault. I'm scheduled to bring the vehicle in for a recall for the key column, witch is not associated to the problem according to vw rep.

On Thursday, may 29th, I was driving my 2014 vw Jetta hybrid sel premium (~165 miles on odometer) when the epc and battery light came on the dash. At the same time, the gas engine shut off. I was able to get the vehicle to restart. Same issue happened two additional times before I got the vehicle to the dealership the next morning. I picked up the vehicle Monday, June 2nd, from the dealership (~387 miles on odometer) stating that the vehicle was in working order and they could not get the problem to duplicate. The dealership put approximately 200 miles on the new vehicle to diagnose it. About an hour after picking up the vehicle (~393 miles on odometer), the vehicle did the exact same thing, except this time I was in a parking lot. The vehicle is back at the dealer and they are having an engineer come and diagnose the vehicle.
