I was driving my car when suddenly the engine quit,and all error messages came up. It was right in front of a busy intersection. I was unable to restart when tried at least 3 times. I waited about 5 minutes and then I was able to start. The service did not find anything wrong. I am worried that it can happen again and I will be not as lucky as this time to avoid someone hitting me from the back as the car unexpectedly just stops.
I have a 2009 vw Jetta tdi. I was in my work parking lot. Started the vehicle, backed out driving out of the parking lot when the engine stopped and turned off. I coasted the vehicle into a parking spot. Turned it off and restarted the vehicle. No lights came up and it started with no problem. I advised dealership of the problem and they checked it out and said it was ok, and to call if it occurred again. It has not.
Windshield wipers system failed in snow storm. Parts replaced complete loss of engine power while driving in traffic. 8 times this has happened. Dealer can not find cause. No start situation, twice. Dealer can not find cause. Transmission noise. Dealer can not find cause, will replace transmission if noise continues.
2009 Jetta tdi has an issue with sudden loss of engine power. Usually 100% reproducible in warm climate usually happens within the first few minutes of starting engine while traveling at 30mph at 2k rpms while holding a steady speed. Car will suddenly jerk and lose power one time then the remaining time will be without issue. On at least two occasions while pulling out into traffic the car has intermittently lost all power for a few seconds almost resulting in certain personal injury accidents. This was due to the fact that after starting the car I took a phone call before entering traffic. I feel that this is a temperature/time related problem as the time I was on the phone would about equal the time that when I normally would have left the lot the car would have had the hiccup/stutter. Numerous complaints about this particular issue can be found on the internet and this has been documented that vwoa has been called about this but seems to not want to do anything to rectify the situation.
