“The 2008 Volkswagen EOS' engine suddenly lost power on an interstate highway and luckily, we were able to guide it to the side for safety. We turned the car engine completely off and let it rest for several minutes. It started and we got back on the road and drove directly to a vw service that was closest to us. They saw faults of being low on fuel and stated we should fill the fuel tank before it gets to the reserve amount. It has not stopped since we implemented this intervention. …”
