When I pulled out into traffic and pushed on gas the car would not go it sounded as if the engine just shut off the car literally had lost all power to it I pulled over to the side and the epc light was on as well as the check engine light. I had my baby with me that just had surgery day before and I was terrified because I had no idea what was happening. I gave it a few minutes and started the car of which at first sounded as if it wasn't going to start. I was only a couple minutes from my house and had no resources to help and couldnt walk with my son. Got the car back to the house but it again did the same thing and continued to do the same with sounding like it did not want to start. I had talked with a mechanic that said to get it into a VW dealer asap as this is very dangerous and should not be happening with this new of a car with such low miles. Finding this site it looks as if there has been a few issues that sound similiar and recalls. I just need a car that I can drive.

When driving the vehicles power dropped suddenly, especially above 3000 RPM. The actuator arm on the waste gate for the turbo charger broke. Error P2263 was seen on an OBD reader. A quick search online seems to show this is a prolific issue with Volkswagen 1.4 TSI engines between 80,000 and 90,000 miles. My wife and daughter could be seriously hurt down a highway onramp and the power cuts out.

- North Salt Lake, UT, USA

I called Volkswagen today to ask about the fuel rail repair and was informed they have no solution nor a time frame of when they intend to be able to fix it. I personally don't feel safe allowing my son to continue to drive the car. I was then informed that I could not sell the car due to the recall now I'm stuck with a vehicle I cannot sell or drive due to the possibility that it my catch fire. I feel as though they should be required to fix it in a timely manner or buy the vehicle back

I was accelerating from a 40 mph zone to a 65 mph highway when the car began to sputter and then enter a limp mode. I was able to pull the car to the side of the road and could smell a strong odor of gas. I raised the hood to see an overwhelming amount of fuel spraying from the passenger side of the engine. The engine was turned off and the vehicle was towed to the nearest certified mechanic, valley motor Honda, sheridan wy. There was not a VW shop within 100 miles of the breakdown. Upon original inspection, a torques head bolt was discovered loose from the fuel rail and the fuel rail was separated from the injector on the distal cylinder (see picture). Simply tightening the fuel rail did not satisfy the problem. This is reportedly the result of the injectors shifting position and/or being damaged. After learning about this common VW Jetta problem, the car was towed to the nearest VW dealership in billings Montana. It appears that the prescribed recall fix for this issue might only require some loctite and wrench turning for the cars that have not yet experienced this catastrophic failure. The fix looks to be more extensive for cars like mine that were not caught in time. The car has been at billings Volkswagen for 14 days without resolution. I do not know what parts are involved or why the repairs not available. I can provide a copy of the repair bill from valley motor Honda in which the fuel rail was identified as the source of mechanical failure.

I have notice since purchasing the car it has issues with mileage and correct has to mileage. I spoke with be when first getting it and the service worker acknowledged the issue but did not fix it. It is still a problem now. You can fill the tank up go a mile down the street and it will say you have driven 30 miles. Even when the vehicle is in park it will say you are driving at least 2 miles per hour. I have a video that better places the situation as well. This vehicle also have the cd player run hot, the lighter ports do not work again, and the antifreeze light has come on every year since purchasing this car. I feel there is something wrong electrically and engine wise.

On three separate occasions, while driving between 65-75mph on the highway with 1/4 to 1/2 full tank of gas, my car began to stutter/hesitate. Immediately the "epc" light came on with the check engine symbol, blinking. All power to the accelerator ceased. I immediately pulled over on each instance, turned the car off and waited 2-5 minutes. After waiting, I successfully re-started the car each time, with the check engine light remaining on. After the first instance, I drove <40mph to a Volkswagen dealer and left my car to be inspected. The conclusion was, "not enough gasoline", despite the tank reading 1/4 full. After that instance, I made a point to never let the gas fall below 1/2 full. On the two other occasions of hesitation/loss of power, the tank fell between 1/4 and 1/2 full. After pulling over, turning the car off, and restarting the car, I immediately drove to a gas station and filled up to a full tank without bringing in for inspection. Keeping the gas tank above 1/2 full, I have not experienced the issue. When the gas falls below 1/2 a tank, it has occurred while highway driving.
