Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta

Accelerating at 40mph car began to run rough and lose power. Engine glow plug light began to flash. Car stalled and could not be restarted. Car towed to hiley volkwagen in arlington texas. Service department statest that high pressure fuel pump disintegrated and that metal particles were found in the fuel lines. Will be rebuilding the fuel system and replacing the fuel tank.

Vehicle hesitates, usually at lower speeds, but sometimes at highway speeds, and stalled completely in intersections twice. Initally this was most often on a cold start, within the first 5-10 miles, but not consistently. It might do it once a day, once a week, or once every two or three weeks. I believe the problem to be fuel system related and not transmission. I have reported the problem to dealer with each service call (3 so far, I have 20k miles to date). Dealer initially suggested bad fuel and to buy only chevron, but there is no correlation between fuel source and hesitation, no evidence of water in fuel filter, etc. , and I usually purchase chevron fuel. Dealer reported being unable to identify the problem without "codes". Vehicle hesitated again (11/25/11), within one block of driving after 20k service. I immediately returned to dealer, and they were still unable to diagnose. Dealer has kept the car and contacted vw USA tech service, but remains unable to diagnose as of 12/2/11. My daughter purchased the same car 3 days after I bought mine and has the same problem (30k miles so far), but has not stalled in an intersection - yet. This is not our inability to drive a stick transmission - both of us have owned diesel Jettas with manual transmissions for 10 years prior to our recent purchases. I contacted vw USA and have received the same message - unless they can diagnose a specific problem, there is nothing they can do, but they did suggest going to a different dealer. Vw did perform a fuel line recall with my last service, but the hesitation remains. There are a number of reports of this problem on the web, but vw is unwilling to attempt any repair without a solid diagnosis. Stalling in intersections and hesitation while driving are unacceptable performance for a car. Period. I hope you can help. Evenings or early ams are best time to call.

Took my car to get the oil change and was told I have a fuel leak. Looked up car online at safecar. Gov and saw the 2010 Jetta has been recalled for: power train:automatic transmission/ fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Having a fuel leak is more than draining on gas mileage it is a fire/explosive hazard. On the website it states: consequence: if chafing occurs, there is the potential for a fuel leak to develop. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. I am having issues with the fuel leakage and need my car recalled or fixed by the manufacturer. . Read more...
