general problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

The vehicle's engine stalled while traveling down the roadway at approximately 35 mph. The vehicle's electrical system continued to operate (driving lights, interior lights, power steering and power brakes) during this time. Engaged emergency flashers and coasted vehicle to a stop at the nearest parking lot. After placing transmission into park, vehicle restarted with no further incident.

I was driving up a hill in a neighboring town and my car lost all power almost instantly. My ""mdf" read "engine fault workshop" and my glow plug light (since this is a diesel powered vehicle) started rapidly flashing. I was able to shift the car to neutral and coast to the top of the hill, then once reaching the apex of the hill, coast into a grocery store parking lot. My car was completely dead, and I had to tow it to the dealer.

Vehicle abruptly lost power, no control over accleration, had to pull off of interstate to shoulder of road. Car restarted fine. Taking to vw dealer for evaulation.

The car stall while I was driving down amsterdam Ave in new york, NY. The engine puttered then a massive amount of smoke started coming from the exhaust. The smell was unbearable. I took it to two different mechanics and both stated that there was gasoline coming from the exhaust there could have been an explosion. I am glad that there was no explosion because I was driving my family home.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact noticed rust in the fuel filter and pump causing the fuel system to fail. Also, the check engine light would illuminate then vehicle would suddenly stall without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was awaiting a response. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. The current mileage was 35,700. The failure mileage was 35,680. The VIN was unavailable. Bw.

First time occured at approximately 42,150 miles. Car driving on highway in 6th gear with cruise control activated. Sudden loss of power and flashing check engine light, "engine fault workshop" displayed. Car can no longer reach highway speeds. Pulled over at next exit. Turned off car, checked under hood, no noticeable issues. Restarted car, no lights or warnings. Drives normal. Called dealer and brought in later the same day with 42,259 miles. They put it on the computer and found a TSB 2020606 for a software update. Drove vehicle out of dealer lot, got on highway approximately 5 miles from dealership in 6th gear around 70 mph and same issue with flashing check engine light and loss of power. Immediately brought the car back to the dealership with the flashing check engine light still on. They brought into the shop and were unable to find any issue. Performed another software reflash. Had to pay $102. 60 (one hour of labor, plus tax). This issue had been ongoing for months, through the summer with no resolution. Typically happens at highway speeds, but sometimes in 2nd or 3rd gear on local roads. Finally, in September with approximately 54k miles, car once again had issue on highway. This time, restarted, and a solid check engine light stayed on. Immediately called Volkswagen of America hotline and explained my issue, stated it was a safety issue and I'm concerned. They gave me a case number and told me to call the dealer. Dealer was able to get my car in later that day, and was able to pull codes for fuel system issue. Dealer took a fuel sample, found shavings in fuel canister, and got authorization to perform warranty repairs of entire fuel system from vw. They said my car would be fine to drive for now. One month later at approximately 57k miles bringing car in. Car continues to have issue, and almost caused an accident from power loss. Very concerning problem.

While driving home the vehicle went into a limp mode, once I made it home, the vehicle wouldn't start. I felt it wasn't getting fuel, so I decided to take it to the vw shop I bought it from. They called me a week later stating it is 6600 dollars in parts and 1600 in labor. I called vw customer care they finally decided to pay for parts. I have since paid the labor to repair the vehicle. After reading online the commonality of this problem seems the vehicle has an issue. What happens when it happens again I pay the full amount.

Car stalls out for no reason when shifting.

I understand that you are currently doing an investigation on the 2009 Jetta tdi for stalling issues. While my car is not a diesel, I have had similar problems. Three times now while driving my car has suddenly had the rpms shoot up and the car stalls out. I have brought it in to the service center all three times and given different reasons for this same issue, different fixes, and the problem remains. I use this car to transport my son and I long distances for our daily commute over the interstate. This car is not safe. Please look into the 2009 wolfsburg along with your investigation of the tdi. Something needs to be done and quickly. This has become a very frightening vehicle to be stuck with. It was purchased new and has only 28,000 miles. This is a manufacture defect. These problems should not occur on a two year old car.

2009 Jetta with 7100 miles failed to accelerate and then died. This happened intermittently 3 times during a one week period. The car could be re-started after the failure but then died again. It acted as if it was not getting gas. I finally had it towed to vw dealership because I didn't trust that it would not do this while accelerating on the freeway. Vw determined that it had a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
