I was driving on my way to take my children to school when the vehicle started to shake and sputter and it stalled out just before I was going to drive through a busy intersection. I put the car in park and turned it on and it started to sputter as I put it in drive and depressed the gas pedal the car would not move. I turned off the car twice until it started up again and I was able to drive just down the street to a safe place. The car started to shake it started to smell funny. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where diagnostics were run and test drove however the VW dealership said there was nothing wrong with the car. I do have to add that the batter light came on but everything else on the vehicle dashboard was functioning. This is the 2nd time this has happened and I've only had the vehicle for a year.

I received a recall notice pertaining to a faulty camshaft that's lobe could shear off and disable the power braking system. Recall 23R1 nhtsa15V705. "..could lead to a crash without warning". they also state that the replacement part will not be available until March '16 now my wife and daughter refuse to drive in the care knowing that the brakes could lose power without warning. I think this is ridiculous to allow people to continue to drive defective cars knowing a potentially serious crash could occur.

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.

When you accelerate the automobile the car hesitates up to 10 seconds and looses power, power returns after the 1 through 10 seconds. This happens at various points; on rolling highway while making a pass of another car; changing lanes on the highway and accelerating, at dead stop from either a stop sign or stop light. I happens in city driving, local streets and just about anywhere one drives and occurs as hesitation for 1 to 10 seconds, the RPM's drop from where ever they are originally to almost zero, but the car does not stall, once the accelerator is undepressed it comes back to normal. These conditions above can cause a serious condition, such as a major collision with another or more than one car and could result in a fatal accident. This hesitation has happened 35 times since 07/06/2015, and still is occurring.
