In rush-hour traffic in boston the driver's foot was on the accelerator when the car stopped moving in the middle of the highway. Luckily, the ambulance and police arrived promptly and were able to get the car off the road. Then it was towed to the nearest vw dealership. The cars diagnosis was a fuel pump collapse. This was hard to believe seeing as we have only owned this brand-new car for one month.
