Hybrid emotor (electronic traction motor ) fails at 100k miles . can cause sudden failure and fire. vw does not consider this part as pzev and does not follow california pzev law.
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.
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 ...

Twice stalled at a traffic light, currently has engine malfunction code p2015 for intake flap valve failure. vw states it is a known problem for the ccta engine code for 2011-2012 vw 2.0t tsi engines. however since it wasn't extended to my vehicle even though they are the same they will not honor the extended warranty because nhtsa didn't identify my vehicle year yet.
I went to dealer to have my oil change. i did complain strange noise from my engine and i mentioned my engine is 2.0 tsi. it may has a recall on timing chain extensioner. they check the vin and said my car has no recall at all. they refuse to put that note on my registation. i can hear the chain noise when i speed up to 30 mile. also sometime i start the car, the banging strange noise come out.
My car while on the busy interstate suddenly lost power. it was running but pushing the gas pedal did nothing. i was able to get it to the shoulder. i shut the car off, waited 5 min, & turned it back on. the epc light was on. i was able to then maneuver slowly to a nearby truck stop to call for a tow. the car surged the whole time. 1 week later the vw dealership says engine electrical harness failure & that it will cost me $1200. of course it's out of warranty & no recalls. this is dangerous & costly.
