On 9/9/2011 while driving on CA 91 fwy, I started noticing abnormal drop in the fuel tank, by monitoring my dashboard, at the time I had half tank of fuel. I stopped the car on a safe location, and discovered a fuel leakage underneath the trunk. The fuel was completely drained, and I had to call for Volkswagen road side assistance to tow the vehicle to the nearest dealer. The vehicle was towed to a Volkswagen dealer in garden grove, CA. The dealer investigated it the problem, and acknowledged that the problem was due to probable assembly line fault. The dealer ordered new parts, and fixed the problem, unfortunately, the fuel smell still exist, but I can't see leakage.

Vehicle will accelerate and decelerate upon acceleration at a stop sign, or most often when traveling at 25-45 mph. Suspect link to recent investigation into fuel line leakage. Service manager at dealership has stated he feels as though he has "been hit from behind" at and mph up to freeway speeds in his 2011 Jetta tdi.
