While driving the car at highway speeds it stalls and the epc light comes on. This has happened many times while merging with other traffic and can be very dangerous. I have spent well over $1000 trying to get this problem fixed, and the problem still remains. Even the vw dealership dose not have an answer.
My 2004 vw Passat: was driving when noticed a gasoline smell in the car. The car stalled, heard a pop sound from under the hood and immediately saw smoke/orange flame -the engine was on fire.
