“2015 vw GOLF sportwagen tdi 2.0l the car has less than 5000 miles on it and already twice I get an engine malfunction indicator light (mil) to reduce oil level.

“When I'm in traffic stop and go between 11mph to 18 MPH at low RPM (1,100 to 1,800 RPM) the vehicle feels like shaking in the engine or transmission like I'm driving a manual car but my car is automatic. Now when going up a incline at 30 to 33 MPH vehicle does the same problem.”

We were able to contain the fire. …”
