We where driving on the expressway(freeway) and the vehicle shut down on us from 65-0 in seconds, it tool about a minute and it came back up this happened about 3-4 times. About a month later it id the same this time when we first turned on the van. About March time frame the van would not start anymore after a long trip away from home the cables had been eroded and severely damaged to the point of no power going to the van. The dealer replaced the electric cables but about 1 1/2 months later the same erosion started to happen. We continued to inform VW about the issues and they always said the same bring it in when it happens. We finally had to get rid of the van we can not afford a fatality to try and prove a point.

This is the third experience we have had of our car shutting off all of the sudden. The first time it happened I could hardly pull the car off the road because when it shut off I was on the highway and was very difficult to steer of the road. The second and third time this happened I was in town and also had a hard time pulling over. After each incident I had to turn key to off position put car in park and restart it. Then it seemed to be ok until the next time it happened. This is very scary and could cause an accident. I am scared to drive this car now.
