What owners wrote
Brand new jetta with about 8000 miles. After about 20-25 minutes highway driving rattles and stalls on surface street. Had two "just missed" accidents trying to make left turn the last couple of weeks. Have taken it to dealer twice. They tell me can't find anything wrong with it.
Engine light came on 11/05/2020 got it checked and a oil change because it would be due within 500 more miles, these codes came up mb2, br80, ma28, p068a. Car is running fine but my engine light is still on.
