| 06 vw passat, i was driving and the engine light, the epc and another light came on and all of a sudden the car lost all power and wouldn't go past 15 mph and 20 rpm. very dangerous when you are driving and this happens, there should be a recall for this problem. car has 44, 960 miles and not sure if it's under warranty, will find out tomorrow. | |||
