Failure Date: 06/29/2012

Traveling in the left lane on 95 n outside baltimore MD at 65 mph my vehicle's gas pedal stopped responding and the car began to lose power and lurch forward and eventually die as the yellow diesel engine indicator along with the yellow engine indicator began blinking. I was able to avoid two lanes of traffic and coast over two lanes to an off ramp before the steering wheel locked. After contacting vw roadside assistance the vehicle was towed to heritage vw located at 9215 harford road #2 parkville, MD 21234 (877) 398-1963. It was after 9:00 p.
