Check Engine Light On problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta

While driving on highway epc and check engine lights up and the car suddenly loose power and start jerking step on gas to speed up only engine revved up high but theres no acceleration or speed gain I was able to pull over to the side of the road safely but what if its rush hour and theres a car following behind me it sure going to slam into my car. I heard a lot of complaint similar to what I experienced. In my opinion its a manufacturers defect that should be look on and needs a thorough investigation in order to avoid accident and road mishaps.

Engine check warning did not come on. I brought the car in for annual service and am informed a throttle and gasket are bad. No engine warning notice but they found it in the code. Car is at dealer. I'm concerned how long this has been a problem and if it caused any other issues. Why would the check engine light not be activated for this? if not brining it in for annual, I wouldn't have known until the engine failed.

Replaced variable valve timing solenoid. Fells like engine wants to shut off idles ruff. After replacement having same issue with car. No check engine light came on.

The check engine light came on at the same time that the car began to slip or hesitate especially in low gears or when accelerating. Our 18 year old daughter was driving to work when the vehicle went from operational to this condition. Shortly after, the epc indicator came on and the car slipping became more of a jolt, car unable to accelerate and it felt very much like it would stall. We were able to safety get it to the dealer for service where we were provided with a 30,000 mile check up (car has 24k miles) and were told it was just an electrical issue, needed a reset. Engine light came back on as I left the dealership, with the same jolting and hesitation. Upon second visit to the service department, I was informed that the there was a crack in the ignition coil, causing misfire of the spark plugs.

I have a 2013 Jetta sportwagen, automatic transmission. I had been driving my car for about 6 miles on a local, but busy road. I stopped at a red traffic light. While engine was idling waiting for traffic light to change, the engine stalled without warning. I was able to restart it, but then engine stalled again before traffic light turned green. When traffic light finally turned green, I was able to restart engine and drove car to safe location where I then turned engine off. When I turned engine back on, I waited, letting it idle, and it stopped again with no warning. I did not see any check engine light. I had car towed to dealer who could not find any codes and could not replicate the problem. I researched the problem on the internet and saw that in a q & a for the radio talk show cartalk, cartalk hosts recommended a new crankshaft position sensor be installed to correct this same issue, also on a Jetta. Dealer did this at my request, but I had to pay $400+. Dealer said they would take up this issue up with the manufacturer and see if manufacturer would reimburse me. So far, they have not gotten back to me. I am driving car, but do not know if problem is resolved or will recur.

I bought this car new in sept. 2013 for its fuel mileage, also because of the efficiency of the tdi. Now at 50,000 mis. , I have a check engine light on and a code of p047f, which means I have a diesel particulate filter clogged and it has to be replaced. This is a $1000. 00 part. Luckily, my car is covered by the carb warranty of CA. But this should not happen this fast. I have done all recommended services at the proper intervals with vw approved fluids and filters. Because my car was past the 3yr/36k warranty, but has a 8yr/80k powertrain warranty, I called vw to see if this is covered. The first call, they told me no. I then started checking tdi forums for this issue and found that it was a common problem. I then called back to "push the issue" which was when I found out that I was covered under the carb warranty. How many people call the first time and get the same answer as I did, then have to pay $1000. 00 plus labor to fix this? also, what good is the tdi if it costs this much to maintain?.

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving 30-60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle would shake violently when the failure occurred. In addition, the contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on over to occasions where the failure was unable to be replicated. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 14e007000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

I was driving as normal when the glow plug light began flashing, along with the check engine light and I lost all power. Thankfully I was on a residential street, and was able to safely pull over and have the vehicle towed to the dealer. Diagnosis was complete fuel system failure caused by high pressure fuel pump destructing itself and sending metal shards into the system. Initially dealer suspected contaminated diesel. Upon analysis of fuel dealer confirmed that only diesel was present in the system and the damage was caused by a faulty high pressure fuel pump. As a result of this all fuel system parts are having to be replaced including injectors, hpfp, lift pump, fuel lines etc etc. Vw is covering repairs under warranty as they should, but clearly the ongoing issue of hpfp failures in vw tdis has not yet been fully resolved.
