general problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Beetle

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Beetle. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel line was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The certified mechanic also informed the contact of NHTSA campaign number: 10v621000 (fuel system, gasoline) and informed the contact that the failure of the vehicle was similar to the failure indicated in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN number was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Gl.

It is accelerating on it own when stopped or in gear or not. Really scary.

This car has a fuel leak in the engine compartment of the fuel supply rail for the fuel injector system. There is a gasoline smell inside the passenger compartment and very noticeable outside. This appears to be a serious safty. Defect. It has taken volkswagon more than a week to locate parts for the expensive repair which may indicate this is a common safty problem with this model car. I am being charged over $1,000 for the repair but feel this may be a serious defect in the car. Please investigate and advise.

Severe burned diesel fumes infiltrateing the cabin of the car while driving.
