In December of 2015,2 months after buying car, while driving my epc light came on my car had a sudden loss of power, shuddered, and stalled. I almost caused an accident when I pulled out onto the highway and could not increase speed.fast enough. I called the VW dealership where I purchased the car and they said the car has to come in to be checked. After 2 hours of diagnostics, and they actually called Volkswagen of America re the problem. They decided that it was a connectivity issue and that they had to replace the whole wiring harness, the car has to be towed in as driving could be dangerous. Also a recall NHTSA# 15V705 just came in the mail about recall 23R1. There are a potential 3 other recalls on the VW 2015 Passat.
