My ‘08 Passat Variant ... decided to die on me because of a faulty ECU… while driving. The car literally died in my hands. No power, no steering, no brakes, no electrics, no nothing.

My 1989 Volkswagen Jetta's ECU was going bad and it started pumping the maximum amount of gasoline into the engine. The car was significantly faster than it was previously. It took a few months, but eventually it flooded the oil compartment with gasoline which seized the engine.
