What owners wrote

At 9:30 am on sunday, september 13, 2015 I was traveling down the road, and the car cut off. Two (2) attempts to restart the car were unsuccessful. After an hours wait (for aaa), attempted to re-start the car and it started. No check engine light was on prior to the incident and no usual noises. The car just stopped running. This not necessarily a complaint, but a report for possible recall research purposes. Thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 volkswagen cc. While driving unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to eastside volkswagen (28400 chardon rd, willoughby hills, oh 44092) where it was diagnosed that the positive crankcase ventilation and fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The following day, the check engine indicator illuminated again.
