| Hello, purchased a vw jetta se on 7/20/12 and almost 1 month after the purchase i was driving on a local highway at apx. 50 mph around 5:30pm when car headlights blinked and car died (stalled). attempted to re-start a car without any success. since vw dealer was closed already - called a local auto shop and they towed a car to a shop to find an issue. mechanic could not see anything obvious so he re-set a computer in my car and he was able to start it. drove home. later in the evening - drove to pick-up some food and on the way home (inside a development) - while making a left turn at apx. 15-18 mph - pressed brakes and realized i had none and at the same time car stalled and since it was raining and i was already slightly turning left - car slid in the direction on my turn and right rear tire hit the curb, tire fall off, car hit a street sign and an electric pool (both fell to the ground) and brought me to a complete stop on the grass. police was contacted and a car was towed to a nearest body shop. filing a complaint with vw - will see what they have to say. *tr | |||
