I am not the only one dealing with this stalling issue/go forward. Dangerous what does someone have do suddenly put it in reverse to get out of another vehicle or another harmful?? because these issues are really serious!! especially when dealership like auto plus in indio. Ca. Use car dealership in vehicles like this and promising. People things about the vehicle and not true!!.
While driving on the beltway at 60 miles an hour, the car suddenly lost all electrical power and the engine shut down. I was not able to steer or brake or accelerate. I coasted to the side of the highway, put the car in park and restarted it and drove it home without incident. Dealer could not find an error code. Twice since then, the electrical and system have shut down without warning while the car was running while idling at a traffic light.
My 2013 vw Passat 3. 6 sel lacks a elec stability control switch on the vehicle. As a result, the traction is terrible on this vehicle in rain, snow, and sleet. The engine has a knocking noise, even though I service the vehicle at vw every 10,000 miles as required in the owner's manual. This vehicle has major electrical problems, such as the seat belt light illuminating, and I lose tension in my driver seat belt. That is a huge safety flaw for this $40,000 vehicle.
