Some Volkswagen Passat owners report experiencing frequent activation of the EPC light, which is often accompanied by stalling issues and sluggish performance. These problems may stem from various underlying issues, including fuel injector malfunctions, throttle body problems, or faults within the engine's electronic control system. Additionally, some owners find that recent turbo replacements do not resolve the root causes of the EPC light activation, stalling, and sluggishness, highlighting the importance of identifying and addressing specific issues for optimal vehicle performance. Driving with the EPC light illuminated can pose serious risks, including potential engine damage and safety hazards related to the vehicle's brake and steering systems. Therefore, it is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic or Volkswagen dealership for a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to resolve these concerns.
