Description of the problem | Our 2013 vw passat's electrical system suddently went dead while driving at 35 mph on a busy road. We pulled the car to the side of the road and five minutes later, the car started up again. After driving for about two miles, the vehicle's electrical system shut off and again we pulled it to the side of the road where we called for roadside assistance. The car currently is at a local dealership's service center being repaired. Apparently, other vw owners have experienced similar problems with their vehicles. Nhtsa, please investigate. Thank you. *js |
