On three separate occasions, while driving between 65-75mph on the highway with 1/4 to 1/2 full tank of gas, my car began to stutter/hesitate. immediately the "epc" light came on with the check engine symbol, blinking. all power to the accelerator ceased. i immediately pulled over on each instance, turned the car off and waited 2-5 minutes. after waiting, i successfully re-started the car each time, with the check engine light remaining on. after the first instance, i drove <40mph to a volkswagen dealer and left my car to be inspected. the conclusion was, "not enough gasoline", despite the tank reading 1/4 full. after that instance, i made a point to never let the gas fall below 1/2 full. on the two other occasions of hesitation/loss of power, the tank fell between 1/4 and 1/2 full. after pulling over, turning the car off, and restarting the car, i immediately drove to a gas station and filled up to a full tank without bringing in for inspection. keeping the gas tank above 1/2 full, i have not experienced the issue. when the gas falls below 1/2 a tank, it has occurred while highway driving.

Vehicle was purchased with check engine light on, returned to dealership and was told it was the gas cap. the vehicle was stalling after that. vehicle stalled while driving on parkway, all of the dash lights came on and the ability to brake and steer was gone causing an accident. airbags did not deploy on the front end collision. vehicle had 1100 miles on it
