THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, I KEPT HAVING TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND THEN REAPPLY, IT EVENTUALLY GOT UP TO A DECENT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DID. WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND RIDICULOUS THING TO BUILD A CAR THAT TELLS IT TO SHUT OFF WHEN IT FIRST SENSES A PROBLEM. YOU GUYS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE!!! THIS IS THE FIRST VW I'VE EVER OWNED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD LOVE IT. WELL, I'VE HAD IT FOR 2 DAY'S AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WON'T STAY AROUND LONG IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A MIN OR SO AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR DROVE LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE TWO SMALL BOYS AND THIS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ME. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING VW CAN FIGURE OUT AS TO WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE, AND SURELY THERE SHOULD BE A BYPASS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS THAT I CAN LOSE MY LIFE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS FROM THE MANUFACTURER, I ONLY HAVE TO DEMAND THEM

I HAVE PUT OVER $2,200 IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS FOR DEFECTIVE SENSORS AND WIRING. THIS NEW RECALL CAN DIRECTLY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND I AM AT A LOST FOR WORDS!

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN FEELING AS THOUGH IT IS SHUTTING OFF. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, IT STALLED TWICE ON ME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD. THE TIRES HAVE BALDED OR WARN QUICKLY. ENGINE LEAKS OIL OFTEN. THE FUEL NOT GETTING TO THE PUMP HAS BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY OFTEN.
BRAKE LIGHT WIRES IN THE TRUCK ARE FRAYING BECAUSE THE WIRE COATING IS TOO STIFF AND FRAYS WHEN THE TRUCK IS OPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A FIRE AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS ON MY 2009 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CC. I DO NOT SEE A RECALL ON THIS.

1EA18003 · Air Bag Clockspring Failure
Opened Apr 18, 2018 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags; Air Bags:frontal; Air Bags:frontal:driver Clockspring/spiral Cassette
In August 2015, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) launched Safety Recall 15V-483 to address the loss of the protection provided by the front driver air bag in several models due to the failure of the clockspring.Debris entry into the steering wheel hub can result in contamination and ultimately failure of the clockspring in 2010-2014 Model Year (MY) CC, Passat, Eos, Golf, GTI, Tiguan, Jetta and Jetta Sportwagen models.Contamination of the clockspring can cause the ribbon cable to tear resulting in loss of the electrical connection to the front driver air bag and any steering wheel mounted controls.The loss of the electrical connection to the front driver air bag will result in illumination of the air bag warning light and will prevent operation of the front driver air bag in a crash of sufficient severity requiring a commanded deployment.In November 2017, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Recall Query (RQ17-009) after the agency received 90 complaints alleging failure of the clockspring in the subject models.Several of the complaints allege failure of the clockspring after receiving the recall remedy.The majority of the complaints allege the same failure mode without being included in the original recall, 15V-483.In its March 2018 response to ODI's Information Request under the Recall Query, Volkswagen provided approximately 700 consumer complaints and field reports on the recalled vehicles.These reports allege clockspring failure similar to the NHTSA reports described above.To date, NHTSA has received approximately 154 allegations of clockspring failure since the recall has launched.The total of 852 reports shown in the table above eliminates 6 duplicative reports received by ODI and the manufacturer.An Engineering Analysis has been opened to further evaluate the scope and effectiveness of the remedy associated with 15V-483 and perform a thorough review of the design changes implemented by Volkswagen and its suppliers to address this issue.The ODI complaints cited above can be viewed at www.NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11080741, 11079877, 11079805, 11079124, 11076709, 11076645, 11076297, 11076249, 11076133, 11075756, 11075726, 11075358, 11075259, 11075055, 11074920, 11074565, 11073090, 11072745, 11072457, 11072089, 11071933, 11071880, 11071630, 11071592, 11067396, 11067061, 11066738, 11066601, 11066511, 11065909, 11065871, 11065262, 11064701, 11064564, 11064544, 11064531, 11063961, 11063501, 11063095, 11062772, 11062464, 11062353, 11062344, 11061463, 11061310, 11061311, 11060735, 11058154, 11057519, 11057477, 11057341, 11056793, 11056243, 11056063, 11055639, 11054279, 11052812, 11052678, 11052384, 11052228, 11051336, 11051155, 11051074, 11048803, 11047037, 11044226, 11043653, 11039142, 11033893, 11033330, 11032548, 11025475, 11025356, 11024647, 11023423, 11020570, 11020312, 11019415, 11019067, 11015441, 11015431, 11014595, 11014016, 11013709, 11013415, 11012596, 11011753, 11006668, 11006521, 11006307, 11006181, 11005301, 11003865, 11001780, 11001783, 11001334, 10994184, 10993360, 10993524, 10992490, 10985926, 10983678, 10981220, 10980831, 10980941, 10980549, 10979418, 10971152, 10967344, 10967155, 10959968, 10958624, 10957279, 10956488, 10949129, 10947562, 10945122, 10936498, 10936543, 10933950, 10927311, 10925421, 10924034, 10915612, 10915569, 10911171, 10902066, 10898733, 10896537, 10896510, 10895526, 10893938, 10891686, 10864967, 10863742, 10861984, 10851242, 10822505, 10821562, 10818403, 10795068, 10794402, 10788738, 10787804, 10782544, 10780725, 10780145, 10779145, 10776477, 10775448, 10763492, 10763423, 10763289, 10762670, 10760644, 10758777, 10749901, 10748922

(Volkswagen) launched Safety Recall 15V-483 to address the loss of the protection provided by the front driver air bag in several models due to the failure of the clockspring.Debris entry into the steering wheel hub can result in contamination and ultimately failure of the clockspring in 2010-2014 Model Year (MY) CC, Passat, Eos, Golf, GTI, Tiguan, Jetta and Jetta Sportwagen models.Contamination of the clockspring can cause the ribbon cable to tear resulting in loss of the electrical connection to the front driver air bag and any steering wheel mounted controls.The loss of the electrical connection to the front driver air bag will result in illumination of the air bag warning light and will prevent operation of the front driver air bag in a crash of sufficient severity requiring a commanded deployment.In November 2017, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Recall Query (RQ17-009) after the agency received 90 complaints alleging failure of the clockspring in the subject models.Several of the complaints allege failure of the clockspring after receiving the recall remedy.The majority of the complaints allege the same failure mode without being included in the original recall, 15V-483.In its March 2018 response to ODI's Information Request under the Recall Query, Volkswagen provided approximately 700 consumer complaints and field reports on the recalled vehicles.These reports allege clockspring failure similar to the NHTSA reports described above.To date, NHTSA has received approximately 154 allegations of clockspring failure since the recall has launched.The total of 852 reports shown in the table above eliminates 6 duplicative reports received by ODI and the manufacturer.An Engineering Analysis has been opened to further evaluate the scope and effectiveness of the remedy associated with 15V-483 and perform a thorough review of the design changes implemented by Volkswagen and its suppliers to address this issue.The ODI complaints cited above can be viewed at www.NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11080741, 11079877, 11079805, 11079124, 11076709, 11076645, 11076297, 11076249, 11076133, 11075756, 11075726, 11075358, 11075259, 11075055, 11074920, 11074565, 11073090, 11072745, 11072457, 11072089, 11071933, 11071880, 11071630, 11071592, 11067396, 11067061, 11066738, 11066601, 11066511, 11065909, 11065871, 11065262, 11064701, 11064564, 11064544, 11064531, 11063961, 11063501, 11063095, 11062772, 11062464, 11062353, 11062344, 11061463, 11061310, 11061311, 11060735, 11058154, 11057519, 11057477, 11057341, 11056793, 11056243, 11056063, 11055639, 11054279, 11052812, 11052678, 11052384, 11052228, 11051336, 11051155, 11051074, 11048803, 11047037, 11044226, 11043653, 11039142, 11033893, 11033330, 11032548, 11025475, 11025356, 11024647, 11023423, 11020570, 11020312, 11019415, 11019067, 11015441, 11015431, 11014595, 11014016, 11013709, 11013415, 11012596, 11011753, 11006668, 11006521, 11006307, 11006181, 11005301, 11003865, 11001780, 11001783, 11001334, 10994184, 10993360, 10993524, 10992490, 10985926, 10983678, 10981220, 10980831, 10980941, 10980549, 10979418, 10971152, 10967344, 10967155, 10959968, 10958624, 10957279, 10956488, 10949129, 10947562, 10945122, 10936498, 10936543, 10933950, 10927311, 10925421, 10924034, 10915612, 10915569, 10911171, 10902066, 10898733, 10896537, 10896510, 10895526, 10893938, 10891686, 10864967, 10863742, 10861984, 10851242, 10822505, 10821562, 10818403, 10795068, 10794402, 10788738, 10787804, 10782544, 10780725, 10780145, 10779145, 10776477, 10775448, 10763492, 10763423, 10763289, 10762670, 10760644, 10758777, 10749901, 10748922
