MY FIRST ISSUE WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 1 MONTH INTO MY 3+ YEAR LEASE WITH UNDER 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE TO DRIVE, AS THEY COULDN'T FIT ME IN FOR SERVICE WITH A LOANER FOR 2 WKS!! THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF IN 2 DAYS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 5K MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOME. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR HAD A CHECK ENGINE (YELLOW LIGHT ON) AND A RED LIGHT. I HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING EITHER. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE CAR AND TURNED AROUND. I PROCEEDED AT A RATE OF 5 TO 10 MILES PER HOUR WITH MY HAZARDS LIGHTS ON FOR THE MILE RIDE BACK TO MY HOUSE. I STOPPED AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN AND ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE LESS THAN A MILE TO MY HOME. THE CAR HAD TO BE FLAT BEDDED AS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR IS AT VW AND I AM AWAITING MORE INFO...WITH NO LOANER. *TR
