The high pressure fuel pump disintegrated when it was sitting so long in storage. Due to the editions recall vw had. There for the car will loose power and could cause an accident. Unexpectedly. The car was driving on a city street when this happened.
At 60mph vehicle lost power on highway and ultimately stalled out. It restarted 6 times but not enough power to move and stalled in approx 20 seconds. It acted like a flood out situation. No throttle response. It just chugged and died. Jan 24, 2016 33 degrees. 37,000 miles. After a number of tries and stalls finally started up after 45 minutes. . . .

On July 5, 2015, the clutch failed. The clutch was depressed to downshift the car as we were approaching a turnpike off ramp. The gear selector was moved out of top gear and into neutral; the clutch would not return, and the gear selector would not move out of neutral. The car had to be maneuvered through traffic from the far left lane to the rights-side shoulder, in neutral. This put my family and everyone around us at risk of serious injury. There was no degradation of clutch system performance. This clutch failure came suddenly and without warning. I have read comments from others online who have experienced similar issues. Several months ago, the brake booster needed to be replaced. The dealership service manager suggested that the clutch issue could be related to the brake booster issue. My wife and I have driven manual transmission cars for years. This is the first clutch-related problem we've ever experienced.
