Description of the problem | My vw atlas sel 2018 is shutting off while i'm driving. So far this has happened 3 times. Once while i was in reverse at slow speed, second time while i was in traffic and the most recent while i was driving in my neighborhood. It is very scary because i have to put in park, press the brake pedal and start the car again, while in the highway. The screen displays an error in the start-stop, and also en engine error that says: engine on due to system error and one time the check engine light turned on. The unit has spent weeks in the vw dealership and still they can't find what is wrong with it, they return the car and it happens again. I do not feel safe driving this car, i have a son and i need a car i feel safe driving. |
