description: ENGINE STALLED APPROACHING STOP-SIGN REAR ENDED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH A STALLING ISSUE NOT ACCIDENT, SEEMS TO BE AT LOWER (UNDER 30MPH) SPEED OFTEN AS YOU START TO SLOW FOR A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. IT NOW HAS HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY EXITING AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH. HAVE TAKEN IT TO VOLKSWAGEN THREE TIMES, ONCE THEY CHANGED THE ELECTRONIC (BRAIN) BOX THEY SAID BUT NO FAILURES OR CODES WERE RECORDED, SO THEY WERE JUST TRYING SOMETHING, AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMPS/ FUEL PRESSURE TO ME. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN VOLKSWAGEN ONCE WE HAD AN ACCIDENT THEY NO LONGER WANTED TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE ISSUES. I WILL NOT PURCHASE A VOLKSWAGEN AGAIN. WE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH A 2009 FORD ESCAPE WITH A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT TURNED INTO FORD EXTENDING AND REPLACING THE PART AT NO CHARGE, FORD WAS VERY PROACTIVE/HELPFUL UN LIKE VOLKSWAGEN. *TR
