Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

Doing 70 mph on the highway our 2009 Jetta tdi lost all power. The high injection fuel pump turned out to be the problem. Repairs will cost at least $6,000. 00 vw modified this pump 5 different times and never notified the owners about problems with the pump. The NHTSA had an investigation and concluded people were using the wrong fuel. We have 2 diesel vehicles and know which pump at the service stations are diesel. This is a serious life threatening problem, catastrophic failure and no power in you car yet the NHTSA closed their investigation. Vw will do nothing to help with repairs and the Jetta has become a total lemon. We have received several recall notices through the years, none regarding the fuel pump, and the car was taken to the dealership for the recalls each time. We would like to see something done about this serious problem.

Vehicle engine shut off during travel, due to fuel filter being clogged by metal debris. The high pressure injection pump failed effectively ending the life of the engine. The welds on the high pressure injection pump had deteriorated, resulting metal debris to circulate through complete injection system. After multiple failed attempts to flush out the injection system it was decided that the best course of action was to replace the entire fuel system along with the fuel injector pump. The dealership would not cover the repair that was estimated to be around $5,500. Very unsatisfied.

A replacement was found and the current engine installed has the same high pressure injection pump, as a replacement part is not available to independent shops, only to dealerships. Cost of replacing engine - $8,500. 00.

I tried starting my car and the engine would not turn over, as if it was not getting any fuel. After numerous attempts I had my car towed to commonwealth Volkswagen in santa ana , CA. They diagnosed the problem as a failed high pressure fuel pump which sent slivers of metal throughout the fuel system. The entire fuel system,(hoses pipes injection units fuel pumps, filters, etc. ) was replaced. Volkswagen paid for the entire repairs. I was told by the Volkswagen service representative that they had seen this issue before and that it was not uncommon in 2009 & 2010 Jetta tdi and other tdi models. They asked if gasoline had ever been used and I indicated that I have only used diesel fuel and that Volkswagen had retrofitted the fuel nozzle receptacle to only accept diesel fuel nozzles. It concerns me that Volkswagen knows about this problem, that they repair the vehicle at their expense, no questions asked, and it has been reported hundreds of time by Volkswagen owners on a variety of internet websites, yet Volkswagen is not recalling the vehicles to proactively fix the problem. They fix the problem one at a time as it occurs. They wait until the system fails and the consumer is put in jeopardy of being in a major, life threatening accident or stranded in a remote area. This problem has also occurred with my 2010 Volkswagen Jetta tdi in August 2014, at night, 50 miles from the nearest Volkswagen service center. I reported this incident to NHTSA as well. Volkswagen needs to take ownership of this problem by recalling all the tdi vehicles before people are killed on the highways.

The contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The check engine warning indicator had not illuminated until after the failure had occurred. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the high pressure fuel injection pump was fractured, which caused metal shavings to enter the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000. The VIN was not available.

Traveling at highway speeds when glow plug indicator light started flashing and engine power was immediately lost. Engine failed to hold idle and stalled while car was moving with clutch engaged. Engine was able to restart and mil light illuminated, glow plug indicator light flashed and driver information system indicated engine malfunction. Car had no acceleration and had to be towed to dealership. Vw service technician indicated fuel pump failure and showed evidence of metal filings in fuel injection system.

Diesel fuel pump failure which clogged fuel fitter and injection system which in turn caused engine to cut out.

I was driving our 2009 vw Jetta tdi at approximately 60mph and the display flashed engine malfunction and displayed a symbol indicating glow plug problem. The engine felt sluggish so I pulled over to the side of the road. I contacted the local vw dealer and asked if I could still drive it and he told me yes and to bring the car to the dealer the following morning. I pulled back onto the highway, got up to 50mph. Then the vehicle stalled, then died completely. I was barely able to pull off side of highway. We had the car towed to dealer. The dealer inspected the car and explained that the high pressure fuel pump had failed and metal shaving and contaminants were throughout the fuel system and that the entire fuel system will need to be replaced. The car is currently at the dealer awaiting a third party inspection from the warranty company. All required vehicle services have been performed at the required intervals. The diesel fuel injection lines had recently been replaced in March 2012 by the dealer secondary to a recall by vw (v5 23j9).
