Car would not start. Luckily parked in garage. Towed to dealer. Determined to be hpfp failure and dpf failure. Hpfp and dpf replaced along with associated small parts. But did not replace entire fuel system. A fuel sample taken from the fuel return hose when the car died looks like fine metallic particles. Settled to the bottom of the jar after several days. A magnet did not attract the particles so must have been aluminum - most likely from the piston bore of the hpfp. Vw paid for the repair. The day I got the car back I took a fuel sample from the fuel tank. Once again metal particles (along with other debris normally found in a fuel tank) were found. Now we are fearful of driving the car due to metal particles in the fuel system will destroy the new hpfp. Please make vw do a recall and replace the pump with a new design that will not self destruct! a car that should go 200k miles or more has failed at 67k miles. And is guaranteed to fail again due to the poor design of the hpfp. This is a huge financial hit for our family as now we are fearful of driving the car and may have to sell it to get a more reliable car. Vw is blaming the problems on fuel contamination and that may be true but there is no excuse for a huge repair bill from one tank of fuel that is not up to specs.

The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was then towed to an authorized dealer. The dealer stated that the high pressure fuel pump failed. The dealer replaced the fuel tank, high pressure fuel pump, and the fuel lines. The stalling failure was corrected, but the vehicle no longer performed with the same fuel efficiency. The contact felt that the recall repairs caused the decrease in fuel efficiency. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and denied assistance with the fuel efficiency failure. The failure mileage was 14,299 and the current mileage was 20,558.
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.
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...

Contact received a recall letter on 7-13-05 concerning the fuel supply line clamp. A recall number was not available. She called the dealer , and they said they could not get her in until Wednesday 7-20-05 because they could not fit her into their busy schedule, and because they did not have the clamp yet. Consumer requested a loaner and they could not provide a loaner. Consumer called a customer care advocate listed on the recall letter to see about getting a loaner, and the advocate told her to continue driving the car until she smelled gasoline, and then have it towed to the nearest dealer. The advocate suggested consumer contact other dealers to take her car in for the recall repairs, but she did not want to drive the vehicle any further than necessary. All of the other dealers were very far away, and the recall states there was a danger of a fire. She is afraid to drive the car. Consumer was only able to provide the name, city, and state of the dealer she called .
