2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Complaints

Vehicle’s electrical system shuts off as I am driving. This happened at night , almost caused a crash.

The car stalls in traffic and is slow to accelerate. The service department attributes the cause from a problem with a contaminated fuel system. However, the car has had a series of problems with the electrical system where I was told the "radio is draining the battery". The car would be parked without the keys in the ignition and it failed to start and the cause being the radio draining the battery. The issue is both electrical and diesel engine related.
