problem #1

Aug 262013

Jetta

  • 13,000 miles
My vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and subsequently stalled. Fortunately, I was able to pull between some construction cones before it lost power completely. Upon towing to a dealer, I was told the fuel pump had failed. VW warranty will cover all damage, but it is considerable. All fuel injectors, pumps, lines etc will be replaced. I soon learned from friends that this happened to their tdi model vehicles as well. All information that I find dates to 2011, but you need to know this problem is still occurring. I am very cautious about where I fill up and still experienced this failure. In spite of being assured by the VW mechanic that my car will be "perfect, " I feel that I need to report this incident.
