When it is extremely cold (most of the time the temperature has been below zero) the car will lose power and die. This has happened 4 times. I was going approx. 75 on the interstate passing another vehicle when the car lost power and died. The temp. Was ten below zero. I have been left stranded 4 times with this vehicle in temperatures below zero. Thank god for cell phones!! I am worried about this happening on railroad crossings or in heavy traffic. I am currently working with the better business bureau and Volkswagen for a refund- just wanted you to be aware of the safety issue with the Beetle.
