Engine runs rough, sputters and stalls randomly. When stalls, some lights flash and states service needed. Dealership didn't find any faults. If stalls on highway this can be life threatening. Steering wheel pulls hard to the left even with car properly aligned and tires air pressure reading accurately full. Just had car serviced again no faults found. Ignition issue with car not shutting off. 20 minutes after parking and trying to turn car off with no prevail. Had car serviced and was gifted a free repair since my 2012 Jetta has only 22,000 miles on it. Ignition replaced but other issues still exist. Paid out of pocket for servicing this vehicle multiple times since all these issues came about conviently after the warranty period ended.
Tried to start vehicle started once then stalled immediately. Tried a second and third time vehicle would just click. Let car sit 14 hours vehicle clicked once then started and ran rough with white smoke coming out of exhaust. Read up on hard starts and found out about intercooler freezing. Pulled tubing off and found approx. 2-3 oz of clear water and 4-5 oz of green sludge in the intercooler piping. Numerous instances of this have occurred even on the highway some of these have resulted in a condition called hydrolock resulting in bent connecting rods. This has also occurred in vehicles being driven at highway speeds. At highway speeds this will cause a rapid loss of engine power possibly causing a vehicle accident. There are numerous forums noting this in 2009-2012 models and possibly 13-14 models.

I was on an approximately 6 hour road trip. Approximately 100 miles from my home, my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta tdi was being driven at approximately 70 mph on the highway. The glow plug light on the instrument cluster began flashing. Vehicle then went into "limp mode", slowing to approximately 45 mph on the the highway. I was able to make it to the next exit off the highway, and come to a stop at the off ramp stop sign. The vehicle then stalled, and would not restart. This left my wife and I stranded 100 miles from home. Vehicle was towed back to the dealership, where the vehicle was purchased. Mechanic at dealership stated the high pressure fuel pump "exploded", sending metal shards throughout the vehicle's fuel system. Dealership states this may be caused by "contaminated fuel". A small amount of online research revealed this is a common problem with Volkswagen tdi engines.

I was trying along at 50 mph and the globe diesel light came on and the engine light came an. I kept trying to drive it to get to a safe place to leave my vehicle to get it towed. Vw could not determine if was fuel contamination or faulty fuel pump. I couldn't move the car when I got to a stop. If this is a known issue to the vw company why are they trying to blame the consumers that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle. Vw installed the fuel guard which was a recall, and covered the rest of the parts but now I am left with a year old car that I hope has no longer further issues due to vw not recalling and fixing an issue with the fuel pump.
I was driving on the interstate on moderate traffic at about 35 mph when all of a sudden the car stalled and the steering wheel and brakes got really hard. I had to use the emergency brake to stop the car because the brakes wouldn't work. My Jetta has the automatic transmission and it was set on "manual with no clutch" when it happened. The thing is I wasn't even touching that when the car stalled. That first incident happened less than 2 weeks after I'd gotten the car fresh off the dealership. I didn't want to admit that there was something wrong with the car because I was excited to have a new car. I've owned the car for almost a year now and it has happened at least 7 other times. Now I realize this is very dangerous because when the car stalls the steering wheels gets very hard and it makes it almost impossible to move the steering wheel or use the brakes. I'm not happy.

2012 Jetta tdi manual, the first occurrence happened after traveling on a downhill grade when I came to a complete stop at the stoplight the car started to shutter and acted like it was going to stall. This exact incident happened several times a month for no rhyme or reason. The car has now started to do the same thing more frequently and will now stall out. It used to be on cold starts and would happen within the first 10 miles of driving. It now does it anytime you are driving. I tried to start the car after work three days ago and when I started the car it shuttered and stalled, I attempted to start the car three more times before it finally stayed started. While driving home the car acted up again at the stop light shuttering and acting like it was going to stall out. The car had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership can't figure out the problem. I am scared that I will be out in the intersection or worse be on the expressway and the car will stall out and I will end up getting hit.
