Car shuts off while driving Sign In

I have a 2001 VW Jetta (2.0 engine). My check engine light has been on for over a year, but yesterday when the car was about to stop, the EPC light came on. According to the owners manual I should take the car in to a certified dealer immediately. My car has about 150,000 miles. I am due for an oil change soon as well. Any help as to what the issue could be, and the potential repair costs. Also, I did have my timing belt and water pump repaired about a month ago.

Why have you stared at a CEL for a year? Gotta get the code(s) for what that is trying to tell you and post results,

The EPC light is the Electronic Pedal Control light. most commonly come on from a bad brake light switch.
