The vehicle started sputtering check engine light came on. Took it to Volkswagen and they told me to put gas treatment in see if that fixes problem. It seemed to help a bit for a week but check engine light still on. Then one morning I got up and tired to start car it hesitated to start almost died and started. I was in the process of taking it to Volkswagen again and the vehicle died while I was driving. Thank god I was just down the road from my house. It could have been very dangerous if it died on highway. One of the recalls on this model is describing what happened to my vehicle. But when I look it up the score tells me the recalls were fixed. Which I know this is not true. My mother tried to get Volkswagen to fix the airbag recall they just dismissed her saying your vehicle is not one on recall. Now they want me to pay to fix vehicle this is very expensive and unacceptable! not a happy customer.
