I had been driving my car for one hour. I made a quick stop at my house to pick something up. I pulled back into the street and started to drive down the road when my engine shut down in the middle of the road. I had to push my car to the side of the road. Multiple attempts by myself and a tow truck were unable to restart the car and it had to be towed. After extensive troubleshooting, the dealer determined my engine control module had failed and had shut all power to my fuel injectors. Luckily, I was not traveling very fast at the time nor was there any surrounding traffic. This cost ~$2000 to repair.
I was driving to work in my 2010 vw Jetta sportswagen tdi and was in a middle of an s turn when my car shut off, as I was coasting I tried to restart my car, when I did so my steering did not work. I was able to negotiate the s turn, but my car would not turn on. I had it towed to my dealer and they checked it out and said that there is water in the inner cooler due to condensation from the air intake. To me this sounds like a design flaw since when I inquired what will prevent this from happening again, they responded that the air intake part has been redesigned to prevent this from happening again. This was a very scary ordeal. If I did not have my wits about me I could have ended in the woods, luckily I was able to navigate the s turn. When I contacted Volkswagen they where willing to pay 75% of the cost even though I requested that they should cover the whole repair. Regardless, I am concerned what happened to me could happen to someone else with a less favorable outcome. What if this happen while crossing an intersection? I am hoping that you are already researching this issue for a recall, if not I hope you will look into this issue. Thank you for reading my complaint.
I was driving down the street when dash lights came on. . . Within minutes I lost power and eventually my car shut down. My hpfp went out and has sent shards of metal throughout the system. Apparently to the grand total of at least $7500 possibly more. I've been reading and see this is an is with the vw tdi motors I drive a 2010 vw Jetta tdi. . . At this point the fuel system needs flushed and or replaced I'm questioning the condition of the rest of my motor if metal pieces have been flushed through it.
Was backing out of a parking space and then placing the car into drive. As I pressed the accelerator to pull away, the car started sputtering like it wanted to stall out. Immediately took it to dealer for scan and no codes found. Car has done this since and no codes again. Last incidence was last week and as I pressed the accelerator, the car sputtered so I left off the gas. Upon pressing the gas pedal again, car shut off and the battery light on the car came on. Placed car in park and it started with no incident from there. Took the vehicle to dealership and again no codes so they will not repair. I am scared this car will shut off in traffic leaving me in the middle of the road. Still waiting on a decision from vwoa regarding the safety and driveability of the car.
When making a left hand turn car stalls. Dash panel lights go out and battery warning light flashes and car shuts off. Car has to be completely stopped,ignition turned to the off position and put into park, before it can restart. Very dangerous when driving in high traffic areas. You don't have time to pull over. The car just dies!.
