Other Fuel System Problems of Volkswagen Golf - part 1

The epc light has luminated 3 times in the last several months. The vehicle stutters and will not accelerate past 25 mph. Shutting off the engine and restarting it clears the light and vehicle drives normally. The check engine light does not illuminate and no obdii codes are stored. Manual states to take vehicle to authorized dealership for diagnosis if light stays illuminated.

I was driving my vehicle on the highway when a driver stopped me and warned me that my vehicle was leaking a huge amount of gasoline. I had a technician inspect the car to see if it might be a fuel line, the technician told me the fuel. Lines were good and there were no signs of the gas coming from the lines and no cracks on the tank either. I received a letter from Volkswagen about the recall and I researched it and it says that if that is the problem the car would be leaking gas and it was dangerous as an ignition might cause a fire. I towed my vehicle to the Volkswagen here in laredo after calling and speaking to someone from service and told yes I could bring it in and the recall part would be replaced free but I would have to leave the vehicle there. When I arrived they told me I would have to pay a diagnostic of 185 dlls and the repair. Which was not what I was told when I called earlier. So I had to pay again to have the vehicle removed from the premises without having the recall part changed.

I brought my 2015 Volkswagen (with only 50,000 miles) to island Volkswagen in NY for a fuel system recall repair. Before this, the car had no fuel smell, no leaks, and was driving normally. Immediately after the recall work, I began smelling fuel. The dealership told me the fuel line is leaking and needs to be replaced. I never had this issue before, and it’s clearly related to the repair they performed. I’m now being told I must pay $550 out of pocket for something I believe was caused by their handling of the fuel system during the recall. This is a serious safety concern. If I drive this car and something goes wrong, it could result in a fire. I believe this issue deserves review, especially if other drivers experience similar problems after this recall.

Car began spraying fuel upon turning the key in the ignition. Recall work pertaining to the suction jet pump was recently performed and is the only likely cause of this issue. Car did not leak when fuel pump was disengaged. Very lucky that issue occurred in a parking lot while not moving and did not lead to a fire or crash.

My epc light began to appear randomly in early 2024. I received a recall notice on the gear shift trim around the same time, so called jack ingram vw in montgomery to schedule a time for them to fix it (and also ensure they had the part). I asked them to also check on why the epc light was coming on. Brought in my car on 2/28/24. Service dept then tells me they weren't sure what was causing the epc light to come on, and they didn't have the gear shift trim part. They quoted me a lot of work to do, which I wasn't prepared financially to have completed. Epc light continued to appear at random. Each time it did, my car would shake and it would feel like I was losing control of the vehicle. I received another recall notice for the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank. When I called jack ingram vw to schedule this work, I asked if this had anything to do with my epc light coming on. They weren't sure. The recall work for both the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank and the gear shift trim were completed on 8/28/24. Car worked fine until about a month later and the epc light came on again. Called another vw mechanic in montgomery (powell's automotive) to see if they can fix it. On 9/20/24 they replaced battery, spark plugs, ignition coil, and did an oil change. Worked great until [xxx] when my engine failed and left me stranded in the road. There were no warning lights prior to the engine failing. Could not restart car. Had it towed to powell's who could not fix it, then to jack ingram vw. I asked them if this had anything to do with the recall work that was done. They said this would be the first if it was. They told me the in tank fuel pump needed replacing. Work completed 10/25/24. How can they work on the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank and not get a diagnostic that the in tank fuel pump was failing? I've already paid a lot of money to try to resolve the issue, and my epc light is still coming on. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I had a suction jet pump recall due on the car. I took it to the dealer to fix. Mind you, I have never had an issue with this car ever. Now about a week later from the car being in the shop I get an engine malfunction light that comes on due to the evap system. Vw dealership of cool springs has not worked with me on this at all and it is frustrating to say the least.

Rough idle on start. Rpm is not maintaining to keep the engine running. After a few try, it starts ok and drive off the parking lot, but the engine dies after about 10 seconds over 30mph. It feels like gasoline is not igniting corretly. Scanned error code p0171: system too lean bank 1 p0190: fuel rail pressure sensor a circuit dealership can't replicate the issue and find the issue. Could be related to fuel system recall.

This has been an open recall for 5 years and the manufacturer will not fix it. This could lead to vehicle fires and injuries. . It is not acceptable that Volkswagen can just ignore these safety recalls!.

Vehicle had recall for "leaking fuel fire risk" strong smell of fuel inside car. Manufacturer recall #20uf NHTSA recall 24v110 there has not been a fix yet available. Dealer (team Volkswagen merrillville in) replaced the jet fuel pump. Problem continued, vw engineering said bring the car back and replace the entire fuel tank. Completed. Problem returned 2 weeks later (July 24 2024). While driving home from work noticed extremely strong fuel odor in car. Pulled off in a store parking lot, someone ran up and told me my car was leaking fuel. Gas was literally pouring out, I lost 1/4 tank of fuel on way home. The fuel was leaking under hood, under fuel tank area and under the rear passenger seat. I had the car towed to the dealer. Volkswagen does not have an actual fix for the problem. I should be given a replacement car due to Volkswagen being unable to correct this serious safety issue. What should I do, I am afraid to take the car back. I have videos and several pictures but unable to upload onto this website. Call 219-312-1083 crown point indiana.

July 30,2024 ?I own a Golf 2017. ?my suction jet pump has failed. I cannot drive my car because I can't put gas into it. ?I need my car for work. The recall does not have the part available and it seems there hasn't been a part to fix this for a very long time. ?I'm really at a loss. ?what are my next steps? ?should I report this to the better business bureau? ?so far I've been on Volkswagen of America's phone wait for 40 minutes. ?I've already taken my car to a dealership to have this problem verified. There were no warning messages. ? ? ?.

Cannot fill gas tank. Recall issued February 2024 no remedy available still. 24v110.

On July 7, 2024, the fuel tank system on my car (2017 vw Golf) failed. I was unable to pump gas into the gas tank. Upon arrival back to my house, gas started leaking out of the backside of the car near the gas tank (I later found out from the vw service manager it was leaking out of the charcoal canister). I had the car towed ($173) to a local vw dealership the next morning, 7/8/24. It is now 7/30/24 and the car is still not fixed. I was without a car for two and a half weeks (7/7 to 7/24), then finally got a rental from the dealership that is costing me $40/day (totaling $240 as of today). According to the service manager at the vw dealership, vw engineers are saying the failure is not due to the fuel tank suction jet pump (which there is a current recall on but no fix available) but all the symptoms I experienced point to that part being the problem. The service manager said that vw will cover the cost of the repair under a pzev warranty, not the fuel tank suction jet pump extended warranty/recall. The replacement parts are taking weeks for the dealership to receive and there was confusion/miscommunication about which parts were included or needed. My complaints are: 1) the length of time it's taking for the car to be fixed, 2) the amount of money it's costing me for towing, rental car and any other potential expenses related to this issue, and 3) if it's not the fuel tank suction jet pump that is the problem, then there's potentially a larger problem at play with the fuel tank system not included in the original recall.

I have a recall for the jet pump in the fuel tank of my vehicle. I have had fuel leaking from my charcoal canister. The vehicle is at the dealership right now, and they have confirmed this. Yet they will not make a repair on it and have been without my vehicle for over a week now. I am stuck in limbo with no date when anything will be done. I am unable to drive my vehicle due to he leak as it is unsafe and a fire hazard. The vehicle will also cut off while driving and will not start, even though it says there is still fuel in it. This should be due to the leak, and the dealer will do nothing to fix my problem until they are notified by Volkswagen themselves. This is ridiculous as I am without a vehicle, which I am still paying a loan on and insurance every month. Yet I have called Volkswagen and have been offered no solution on this matter. I have been told to wait for the recall, but this issue has been known about since February. Am I just supposed to wait indefinitely for a solution while I can't work or drive anywhere, while I continue to pay for this vehicle? I need a solution and Volkswagen to fix my issue and to be help responsible.

What is going on with this suction fuel pump seal failure. It is now end of June and I have an immobilized vehicle due to this condition. Vw just spent money to buy an ev and we are all still waiting on parts for this failure? what the hell?!.

We are unable to fill up the gas tank due the recall issue. The dealership says we can bring it in and they will repair but at this time we would have to pay for the repair. Vw has not come up with a fix for the recall problem at this time. This problem has rendered our vehicle not drivable. What is the recourse? fuel also leaks out when trying to fill the gas tank. It could start a fire.

My vehicle is leaking fuel. I have been unable to drive it for a few weeks due to the recall not having an approved repair. The dealership did not offer me any solution other than to pay for the repair out of pocket. This has been a known issue since February and no remedy is available from Volkswagen.

Vw is not acting fast enough to fix the active fuel tank suction jet pump recall, given the immense danger risk. The recall was issued a month and a half ago - they should have the parts available now to fix it. I have noticed fuel smells while inside and driving my car on and off for several months now!! I took my car to their dealership yesterday to get their faulty water tank replaced and when I asked about the recall I was completely dismissed and they said they had no idea when the parts would be available. I need my car to get to work. I can't just stop driving it but it feels incredibly unsafe to drive now that I know about the recall!.

When refueling, the gasoline spills out and can't fill the tank. Took the car to the dealer and they are asking for 2,500$ for repair.

I have had this car since 2021, when I first bought it they had to keep it for another week due to a coolant break error? had to fix it but later on I had to put tons of money into the car almost more money than it’s worth. And I’ve had a engine light on religiously for the entirety of the car, however my cars engine lights flash at times when I am driving and it gets hard to accelerate and reeks of gas- I’ve given up on dealerships because they have done everything else but what I have asked them to do and I still leave and the engine light turns on after. I did some research and learned my car has a recall since 2/14/2024 and I’ve had no update on my vehicles recall or if it’s repairable. My car will refuse to start at times and I’ve told this dealership this car will most likely kill me since I’ve put so much money into it for nothing to be fixed? and if it’s been this recall error what do I do? please help me bought from allen web Mitsubishi. All the symptoms are there but I’m scared.

Related to recall 20uf. Vwoa refused to authorize repair under recall in March. My 2017 gti is diagnosed with all symptoms of the 20uf recall. Random power loss, inability to add fuel, large fuel leak from rear fender (charcoal canister). I have been unable to drive the car since March, but vwoa refuses to pay for the repair. The recall was issued 3 months ago and there is still no repair, or offer from vwoa to give a loaner car or anything.

A recall was published on 02/14/2024 and remains unresolved. Since the safety risk of "leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, may result in a fire" it seems like this should be a priority. (manufacturer recall number20uf, NHTSA recall number24v110).

Hello I am creating this inquiry about the suction pump and charcoal canister for my 2017 vw gti. The suction pump on my vehicle has gone faulty and the car will no longer accept more than a gallon of gas. A faulty suction pump commonly leads to gas leaks and a faulty charcoal canister as well. The suction pump for the 2015 and 2016 Golf gti was recalled due to this issue. There are hundreds of people with later models from 2017-2020 including myself that experience that exact same problem but vw has yet to extend the recall to our years. As of December 2023 the us transportation authority opened a probe into Volkswagen for not extending the recall. I am very frustrated over this because this can be close to $2000 in repairs. I should not be held financially responsible for a faulty pump that should have been recalled from the manufacturer.

Fuel evaporation canister started leaking raw fuel after a strong gas odor was present before hand. The fuel suction pump failed and pressure built up in my gas tank. I was at risk because the presence of raw fuel near ignition sources can cause a fire. Verified at Volkswagen dealership. No warning signs by car when issue first started. Only sign of problem before raw fuel leaking was poor car performance, car stalled and I could not put more than a gallon of gas in the fuel tank.

After parking car and turning off engine, I exited vehicle and noticed a cascade of fuel falling to the pavement by the rear wheel near the fuel tank. Fire department was called as I was in a public parking lot. Vehicle was towed to dealer.

Large amount of fuel dumped onto road from right rear side of car at stop light. Police stopped me and asked me get a tow and no longer drive. 1st garage said it might be faulty fuel pump, and only vw dealer can replace. Towed to vw where they replaced the whole fuel assembly.

Vehicle epc light comes on dash. Obd code is "p00af00 - turbocharger boost control "a" module". This error causes sudden loss of power and loss of driver assistance (forward collision assist, blind spot assist, cruise control, etc. ). Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Upon checking turbo charger, the wastegate actuator arm is seized up, keeping the wastegate from functioning properly, failing to maintain boost pressure and entering limp mode causing sudden loss of power and acceleration. This has happened while on the roadway, attempting to merge into highway traffic, change lanes & pass other vehicles. This caused the vehicle behind me to close the distance very rapidly almost resulting in multiple rear end collisions. The vehicle has not been inspected by others, yet. The only warning that came on was when it first did it. I had a sudden loss of power, a warning beep from the dash and the epc light illuminated. It fixed itself after a few moments then occured again. It is now stuck with this error and will not operate accordingly.

While on a road trip we noticed that the car was missing slightly on steep hills, and we attributed it to needing new spark plugs. When we filled with gas later, we noticed it clicking off as full sooner than it should have. The next day we could not get more than a gallon in it, and gas pooled in the neck of the tank and started oozing out around the rear bumper and on to the ground. It was clearly unsafe to drive in that condition. We took it to a nearby mechanic where we were visiting and he diagnosed it as a failed evap that he couldn't replace because it's integrated into the tank, and he didn't do that kind of major work on vws. Found another mechanic and he disassembled the fuel system to discover that the baffles in the gas tank had collapsed, the charcoal filter was destroyed, the fuel pump and simmy valve were broken. All will have to be replaced at a cost of about $4500. (no documentation yet--still in the shop, and I haven't yet been able to get through to vw. ) no check engine or warning lights ever came on, and the damage was sudden and instantaneous, with no cause (never been in a wreck in this car, always use factory-recommended fluids and fuel). No mechanical problems until this, and it seems there are many reports of Golfs 2016-2018 having this same problem at 5 years, so it's clearly a defect. This needs to be a recall! thanks.

While driving the vehicle I noticed hesitation and lose of power on the interstate. No mil or check engine light illuminated on the dash. I was able to get the vehicle back to the house, but noticed a strong fuel smell coming from the car. I walked around the vehicle looking for a visible sign of a fuel leak and saw a puddle by the rear passenger tire. After further investigation I discovered that the fuel was coming from the air filter on my charcoal/evap canister. I did some research and see that vw has an extended warranty out for this issue but it is not currently a recall, fuel tank suction jet pump limited warranty extension (vwp-22-2). The safety issue is that while driving and stationary you have raw fuel and vapors on the exterior of the vehicle by an exhaust muffler and the inner fender liner absorbs some of the fuel in its fabric, so with the right circumstances could cause a vehicle fire. Thankfully this did not happen to my vehicle but the potential for it to happen is present. I took my vehicle to my local dealer and they diagnosed this issue but because my vehicle has a salvage title they will not cover the cost for the repairs, even though the reason that my vehicle has a salvaged/total title has nothing to do with the fuel/emission/evap system, so I will be doing the repairs myself. The parts that needs to he repaired are the same parts listed in the previous recall of the earlier model of the vw gti (safety recall code 20y6).

Car has been leaking fuel for over a year. Had to pay out of pocket to get it fixed and vw refused to refund cost of repairs even though there is now a recall over a year later acknowledging the issue.

The high-pressure fuel pump failed during a routine drive at approximately 1500 rpms. This caused an immediate loss of power while in traffic. Manage to limp the car to the nearest gas station in which the car finally died and would not start. Had to call for a tow truck. This immediate loss of power could have cause myself and my daughter to get into an accident. Luckily, we were not on a major highway doing 65+ mph, which could have been a lot worse. The vehicle flashed a mil light or flashing glow plug light at the time of the incident. The car did not show any signs of possible failure beforehand. This same issue has been recalled by fiat-Chrysler on their heavy-duty ram pickup trucks with 6. 7l cummins due to catastrophic failure of the cp4 fuel pump.

During refueling after low fuel indicator, fuel tank was not able to accept any fuel. During a second attempt, vehicle accepted 0. 25 gallons but all of this fuel came gushing out of the tank from the inlet and from the passenger side rear wheel well. Fuel kept leaking for another 20miles until vehicle was taken to the rochester hills, mi vw dealership. The vehicle continued to leak fuel at the dealership and I was requested to park outside due to the risk of a fire. During this 20mile trip, engine was very hesitant and spluttered and almost stalled. No warning lights on dash. My personal safety was at risk since any ignition source would cause a fire due to this fuel leak, vehicle did not show any warning lights besides low fuel. Vw dealership information was that the fuel tank suction jet pump needs replacement. No information was shared if the component will be sent to the manufacturer for inspection. No information how this new pump will not cause a repeat event.

Driving I noticed the power getting cut intermittently. This happened for a couple days. When I parked the car there was a smell of fuel. Looked at the rear of the car and there was a massive puddle of fuel on the ground at the rear passenger side. Left car outside house for safety reasons. Incredibly dangerous. No warning lights, just a very strong smell of fuel. Scheduled to take vehicle to dealer as there is a recall on the suction pump for the fuel system for models 15-16. It appears this is an issue in other models as well.

Tried to put gas in tank and the pump at the gas station kept shutting off. Pulled over to refuel at another gas station and had gas leaking out of the side of my car, above tire on rear passenger side and next to exhaust. Inside of the car filled with strong odor of gasoline. Extremely dangerous having fuel pouring out of the side of the car while vehicle was moving. Volkswagen issued a recall for this issue on the 2015 and 2016 vw gti models due to the suction pump getting stuck inside the gas tank and they need to do the same for the 2017 models. Having to pay out of pocket to fix this issue and its going to cost over $3,500. 00. Local dealership saying I need to replace the entire gas tank to fix the issue. Vehicle has roughly 72,000 miles on it. No warning lamps or messages from the vehicle while driving.

One day after a fuel fill-up, during hot weather, upon returning home my wife noticed the smell of gasoline when exiting my vehicle. Then she saw a steady stream of fuel pouring onto the ground just behind the passenger-side rear tire. She immediately got back in the car and drove it back out of my garage, onto our gravel driveway. The fuel continued running out of the wheel well, from a location approximately below the fuel filler door, for several minutes. After I opened the fuel filler cap there was a hissing sound, then the fuel leak appeared to stop. I called my local vw repair shop, who advised us to get the car towed to them, and not to drive it. The next morning it was towed to that shop. It took them a couple of days to get to our car, and they diagnosed that fuel had filled the charcoal canister, and presented us with a repair estimate of approximately $5,000. That included replacing the charcoal canister, the entire fuel tank, and several other related parts. After doing some research online, I believe this incident resulted from failure of the fuel tank suction pump, which was the subject of vw recall 20y6, dated 12/21/2016. Apparently the same fuel suction pump continued to be used in the 2017 model year Golf. My online research revealed that this problem continues to occur with vw Golfs of model year 2017 and even later.
