    WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND PUSHED ON GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF THE CAR LITERALLY HAD LOST ALL POWER TO IT I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND THE EPC LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD MY BABY WITH ME THAT JUST HAD SURGERY DAY BEFORE AND I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I GAVE IT A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR OF WHICH AT FIRST SOUNDED AS IF IT WASN'T GOING TO START. I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE AND HAD NO RESOURCES TO HELP AND COULDNT WALK WITH MY SON. GOT THE CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE BUT IT AGAIN DID THE SAME THING AND CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME WITH SOUNDING LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I HAD TALKED WITH A MECHANIC THAT SAID TO GET IT INTO A VW DEALER ASAP AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH THIS NEW OF A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES. FINDING THIS SITE IT LOOKS AS IF THERE HAS BEEN A FEW ISSUES THAT SOUND SIMILIAR AND RECALLS. I JUST NEED A CAR THAT I CAN DRIVE.

    Front left headlight has no power going to it. Rear right tail light has no power going to it. Third, brake light has no power going to it. Wind shield washer pump has no power going to it. Both rear doors do not lock. This issue is all connected with each other because it fixed itself. Once and they all came back on together and then it went back out.

    On Saturday March 25th I was in an accident in my 2017 jetta. A Tahoe last second lane changed into the front end of my jetta. The impact was at 30mph but no air bags deployed. When starting the car now after the accident there are airbag warnings all over the dash. The air bags failed to deploy properly in an accident.
