Description of failure: I was driving up a hill in a neighboring town and my car lost all power almost instantly. My ""MDF" read "Engine Fault Workshop" and my glow plug light started rapidly flashing. I was able to shift the car to neutral and coast to the top of the hill, then once reaching the apex of the hill, coast into a grocery store parking lot. My car was completely dead, and I had to tow it to the dealer.
Dealer: Gorman McCracken Volkswagen
Status: VW apporved repair under warranty. I have been told vehicle will be ready about 5/8/2012.
I have filed with NHTSA.
