| No precipitating events. while driving, engine cuts out followed immediately by battery light coming on, have 30 seconds-60 seconds to get off the road to avoid collision. car does not restart. has happened 4x total so far, twice while driving 60mph on highway. dealership has each time replaced fried fuse to fuel pump relay. after the 3rd time they replaced the module that controls the central electrical system (i was told this module had been upgraded 9x by vw since my 07 vehicle). this time they are replacing the fuel pump & sending me home w/extra fuses & showing me how to replace them so i am not stranded on the highway (!) i do not have the old parts from them. i have been very fortunate to walk away uninjured due to quick reaction & plain luck even in rush hour. this is a 2007 vw jetta, wolfsburg edition purchased new on 2-8-07, maintenance followed exact, fuel tank kept at 1/2-full. problems began @28,608k now at 41,817k. *tr | |||
