For the last 30,000 miles my vehicle has sporadically stalled out or shuddered heavily as if it was about to stall while driving at low speeds or accelerating. this month however, my vehicle stalled out and completely lost power for a few seconds while driving at low speed in heavy traffic on the interstate. each time i was driving straight and not turning was involved. my transmission has been replaced twice and each time this did not solved the issue. these incidents keep increasing in severity and occur randomly so i do not know when to expect. i feel unsafe when these instances occur.

Key gets stuck in ignition when turning off the engine
Driving on city street, the engine quit. there was no power and the auto had to be towed to a repair station. repair was jx1 power electronic output model which was coded and adapted to vehicle. :(per brunswick auto mart document). it would appear that this vehicle engine electronic control module failed. if the failure happened on a highway during high volume of traffic a serious issue would occur.
Dsg transmission shifting hard 2-3 and 3-4 with clanking you can feel. lurching from a stop when letting of the brake. this happens mostly at around 50% throttle when accelerating.
The vehicle stalls intermittently, losing power to the engine. at first, it began to happen monthly (50,000 miles) only while the vehicle was stationary (at stop lights or idling in the driveway). the engine would lose power and the battery light would come on, and the vehicle could be started again immediately. the vehicle also exhibited lurching acceleration at low gears. it would not trigger any codes (for either issue), and multiple vw dealerships were unable to replicate and diagnose the problem. the stalling then occurred while driving (70,000 miles), causing the steering to lock up. this occurred while on a freeway at 70 mph; the vehicle had to be pushed off the freeway by an officer and then towed. still, the vehicle did not produce any codes. after over 1 month at the dealership service center and replacement of 4 different wires that appeared corroded, and the transmission valve body, the same issues persisted. the stalling began to happen more frequently, both while stationary and while driving, and began to trigger the epc light (80,000 miles). by this time it was clearly unsafe to drive. not willing to rent a car for an unknown duration for the service center ...
Sudden loss of acceleration power at any speed without warning. on freeway must roll to a stop. no engine lights on. mechanic unable to diagnose problem, car is not giving a trouble code. issue occurs when vehicle is cold or hot at a stop or moving. it's been occurring twice a week now for the past two weeks. i've noticed similar complaints from other owners on automobile forums.
Left work and barely made it out of the parking lot when the car made a 'clunk' and lurched in d but would not go. large indicator light came on, put car in p, waited and then back to d. still would not drive. turned it off and waited a minute or two. was able to restart and drive to parking lot. large light was out but check engine came on. lots of transmission fluid leaked while waiting for tow truck. my vin not in recall. 😡
