Evap canister failed with less than 40,000 miles on the car. I first noticed when I was pumping gas one day, I opened my tank and heard a loud woosh noise like pressure had been building up inside the gas tank. I then went to fill up my tank and got maybe $3 worth of gas in the tank before the pump shut itself off like the tank was full though it wasn't. was told it's not covered under warranty by Volkswagen, and even though the 15-16 gti had recalls for the same issue the problem was supposed to be fixed for the 17 gti. I either have a lemon or the problem has carried over for a 3rd straight year.

While traveling at highway speeds the vehicle flashed the epc warning light and suddenly lost all power and rapidly decelerated. The car had to coast off the highway and would not respond to throttle input once stopped. Car was turned off and on which resulted in "limp" mode but car was unsafe to drive on the road. Had car towed to dealer and was diagnosed with a faulty fuel injector. Car has 700 miles on it.
