What owners wrote
While driving at a constant speed or decelerating the engine will stall without warning. The engine runs so quietly the only indication that it has stalled is there is no power and the steering becomes more difficult as the vehicle gets slower. It doesn't seem to matter your speed, it will just stall and this can be incredibly dangerous. Originally happened in 2017 and took to the VW dealership but they couldn't find anything wrong. It is happening again today and earlier this week 8/19/2018
