“While operating the vehicle the car stalled an simply stopped in the middle of driving. Completely ridiculous, very dangerous! Your website states that vehicles same year, make and model and manfu date thevsame have recalls for exact same issue. This is urgent. This could cause the death of me or my family. It must be fixed by vw, especially when recalls are there for some.”
NHTSA complaint #10981131, filed 2017-04, 163,100 miles“Takara recall I was driving (the vehicle was in motion) on a cott street and the van started shaking then the engine just shut off. Then the van would turn on, but would shut off immediately. I had to call a tow truck to get the van off the road. I could have crashed and now I don't want to drive my kids in that vehicle anymore. I just don't feel safe. Also I just bought this vehicle 4 days earlier from a used car dealer.”

We could not find the problem. We researched and found that there is a recall on the van for the problem. I called the Volkswagen company and gave them my VIN number and they had a dealership to handle the problem. After a few days they called me and stated that there is a $600.00 charge for the problem to be fix. I told that it was a recall on the van but he stated that my VIN number doesn't match. …”
