Check Engine Light On problems of the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta

When I pulled out into traffic and pushed on gas the car would not go it sounded as if the engine just shut off the car literally had lost all power to it I pulled over to the side and the epc light was on as well as the check engine light. I had my baby with me that just had surgery day before and I was terrified because I had no idea what was happening. I gave it a few minutes and started the car of which at first sounded as if it wasn't going to start. I was only a couple minutes from my house and had no resources to help and couldnt walk with my son. Got the car back to the house but it again did the same thing and continued to do the same with sounding like it did not want to start. I had talked with a mechanic that said to get it into a vw dealer ASAP as this is very dangerous and should not be happening with this new of a car with such low miles. Finding this site it looks as if there has been a few issues that sound similiar and recalls. I just need a car that I can drive.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the cylinder was misfiring, and that the spark plugs and ignition coils needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the engine control module needed a software update due to cylinder's misfire. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was later taken to city Volkswagen of highland (9601 indianapolis blvd, highland, in 46322), where the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired due to the diagnostic test and repair cost. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,200.

On three separate occasions, while driving between 65-75mph on the highway with 1/4 to 1/2 full tank of gas, my car began to stutter/hesitate. Immediately the "epc" light came on with the check engine symbol, blinking. All power to the accelerator ceased. I immediately pulled over on each instance, turned the car off and waited 2-5 minutes. After waiting, I successfully re-started the car each time, with the check engine light remaining on. After the first instance, I drove <40mph to a Volkswagen dealer and left my car to be inspected. The conclusion was, "not enough gasoline", despite the tank reading 1/4 full. After that instance, I made a point to never let the gas fall below 1/2 full. On the two other occasions of hesitation/loss of power, the tank fell between 1/4 and 1/2 full. After pulling over, turning the car off, and restarting the car, I immediately drove to a gas station and filled up to a full tank without bringing in for inspection. Keeping the gas tank above 1/2 full, I have not experienced the issue. When the gas falls below 1/2 a tank, it has occurred while highway driving.

Vehicle was purchased with check engine light on, returned to dealership and was told it was the gas cap. The vehicle was stalling after that. Vehicle stalled while driving on parkway, all of the dash lights came on and the ability to brake and steer was gone causing an accident. Airbags did not deploy on the front end collision. Vehicle had 1100 miles on it.
