MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT HAS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT, IT SIMPLY TURNS OFF AND FLASHES THE BATTERY SIGNAL AND TURNS OFF. THE OTHER TIMES NO OTHER LIGHT IS PRESENT. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, CHANGED OUT FUEL PUMP,CRANK POSITION SENSOR, ENGINE HARNESS, SPARK PLUGS, O2 SENSOR, AND OIL CHANGE. ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK WHEN IT CUT OFF. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRESENT AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS GOOD. IT'S AS IF I'M DRIVING AND THE FUEL CUTS OFF. I ALREADY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND ENGINE HARNESS, DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD CAUSE THIS. BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS CAR GIVES NO WARNING AND JUST TURNS OFF WHILE ON HIGHWAY OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
