The driver has no choice but to stop the car immediately in its tracks and turn it off. There is no warning that this is going to happen.

VW warranty engineers determined it needed a software update. ![]() ![]() When brought in to the dealer, the same code was thrown in addition to a code about low battery output. 3 months later, it happened again with completely different variables in driving prior to it happening. The first time it happened, a stored code for multiple passive MINIfaults appeared, but dealer could not recreate problem and I was told to drive it and call if it happens again. This has happened at 65mph on cruise control, at 10mph in a parking lot, and at 50mph. Usually, when the car is turned off and driven a second time after that, no warnings (not even start/stop) appear. If you manually turn off start/stop, then all warnings are gone. The only error that the vehicle shows is an error with the start/stop system and says that the engine is on due to system failure. When that is done, almost all warning lights disappear and the car behaves as though nothing ever happened. The only way to then drive again, is to park it, turn the car off, and turn it back on. The driver is unable to accelerate and must come to a stop immediately or the car does it for them.

This is the 4th time it's happened and could have caused bodily harm. Luckily there was an opening on the shoulder that I was able to quickly pull the car into and the car behind me didn't rear end me. The 4th time this happened, was on an interstate traveling at 75 to 80mph with vehicles around traveling at same speeds or in excess of that speed. Driver is unable to accelerate until car is parked and restarted. There is no opportunity to choose a safe place to bring it to a stop. With no warning, multiple warning lights come on and the car applies emergency braking until the car is brought to a stop. Vehicle goes into emergency mode for 4th time.
