Description of the problem	1/28/19 car starts fine,drive 15 min, run 3 errands, then can't start car. Electronic display has all warning icons flashing. Battery test 50% power. Jumpstart car,epc and engine icons stay lit. Charge battery at home. Car runs fine for 2 days. Then car won't start again, epc icon lit, run car 20 minutes, then try to drive car but cannot exceed 13 mph. Call for tow; truck never arrives ( 3+ hours). Attempt to start car, starts fine, no warnings lit; drive to dealer. Dealer says battery "defective", replaces under warranty. Car has 26600 miles and i have owned for 18 months. Dealer says epc not lit while they looked at the car so they cannot address. Ridiculous. Car fine for 2 days, then epc light back on. I have spent probably 40 hours or more at vw dealership waiting for various repairs over the last 18 months. A google search reveals many vw atlas have epc problems, and if you just google volkswagen and epc you can find hundreds of postings for this issue with almost every vw model. I will be taking the car back in but am not confident i will get a satisfactory repair based on all the other online complaints about this issue

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
