The gas engine car stalls out when stationary, in motion, on city streets and highways. I turn ignition off then start the car again and go on to my way to the next stall. It is not bad gas and mechanics and dealerships are still guessing what wrong.
2010 Jetta tdi. Driving on road at about 35 mph when car suddenly stalled. Glow plug light flashes, "service engine now" on display. Traffic was light and speed was enough to coast to safe location. Car would not restart. Towed to dealer. Dealer replaced some relay part but. . . . The very next day same thing. Car died while driving. Same symptoms as above. Again no warning prior to stalling. Towed to dealer. Dealer had car for a few days but could not find or reproduce problem. Checked ground connections as advised from vwoa technical assistance. Returned car to me with a 'let's wait and see' attitude. Third time, about 1500 miles later, same thing. This time on highway traveling at about 45 mph in heavy traffic. Car towed to different dealer. At the moment they can't diagnose or reproduce problem. My opinion is some fault is telling computer to kill engine. As a safety issue, I would think engine should remain running so that I can safely drive off the road and out of traffic and harms way. If this assumption is correct, then there has to be a limited number of reasons why engine should stall, instead of going into 'limp mode. ' my research found reference to pe10034, but can't find article. Three times car stalls without warning. All 3 times on road. This is a safety concern, and local dealers seem hesitant to request help from vwoa ta. Dealer 1 did contact vwoa ta for support and guided fault finding didn't find anything. Dealer 2 still has no clue. No mandates on local vw dealers, by vwoa, to keep and share service records beyond warranty period, on national database, so other dealers have no idea what first dealer did. Keeping all dealer service records on national db will help spot issues sooner. Dealer 2 will hopefully ask vwoa ta for support beyond what dealer 1 did. Is there an escalation for this? what are my options?.
While driving my Jetta (diesel), the engine has stalled on multiple occasions. The first time it had stalled, my Jetta was only 1 month old and I took it back to the dealer. The dealer found nothing wrong and stated that he had never heard of this issue occurring. The Jetta stalled again over the subsequent 12 months of owning it and I once again took it to lee Volkswagen dealership in fort walton beach. The maintenance manager stated nothing wrong. The Jetta stalled a 3rd time just recently while I was making a right hand turn. I had children in the car and I was very concerned with their safety. In addition to the stalling issue, my Jetta (over the first 2 years of owning the car) has had a new battery, new compressor and new interior lighting mechanism installed. I am very disgruntled with the repeated safety issues on this vehicle. The stalling makes me uncertain of my safety or my children's safety while driving this vehicle. It should be recalled and money refunded to the individuals who have purchased this model.
When an engine stall occurs, this car requires a full reset before a restart can be performed. This is very dangerous when said reset happens while the car is moving. Meaning ¿¿ a full reset means the ignition key must first be fully turned off. When the car is in motion and the key is fully turned off, at that time the locking gear in the ignition switch engages and locks the steering wheel. . . While the car is in motion!!! this is a common occurrence in the manual shift transmission models.
2010 vw Jetta tdi common rail engine stalled while cruising at highway speed southbound on I-390 between geneseo and rochester, NY. When two attempts to restart car as normal failed, it was towed to dealer and repaired by replacing fuel injectors in cylinders 2 & 3 according to injector fault code that was generated. Vehicle was returned to me, then exhibited same systems again. Towed back to dealer whereupon discussion with vw tech line had dealer replace turbo intercooler, possibly due to extreme condensation and ice build up in the intercooler referenced by vw TSB # 21 12 01/2025464 frozen air charge cooler. After intercooler replacement, dealer notified me that the car is still exhibiting the same symptoms. Discussions with vw tech line resulted in notification to me that the engine wiring harness seems to be the problem and advises replacement of that for $988 including parts and labor. . Read more...
