Fuel Pump Problems of Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

No precipitating events. While driving, engine cuts out followed immediately by battery light coming on, have 30 seconds-60 seconds to get off the road to avoid collision. Car does not restart. Has happened 4x total so far, twice while driving 60mph on highway. Dealership has each time replaced fried fuse to fuel pump relay. After the 3rd time they replaced the module that controls the central electrical system (I was told this module had been upgraded 9x by vw since my 07 vehicle). This time they are replacing the fuel pump & sending me home w/extra fuses & showing me how to replace them so I am not stranded on the highway (!) I do not have the old parts from them. I have been very fortunate to walk away uninjured due to quick reaction & plain luck even in rush hour. This is a 2007 vw Jetta, wolfsburg edition purchased new on 2-8-07, maintenance followed exact, fuel tank kept at 1/2-full. Problems began @28,608k now at 41,817k.

On 2/4/08 at 7:30 a. M. I got in my 2004 vw Jetta wagon and although it was turning over, it would not start at all. It had operated perfectly the night before. I had it towed to our mechanic that we have used for nearly 10 years. The mechanic called & said it was the in-tank fuel pump and the associated component. He stated he has had a lot of these brought to him in vw's and this is a common failure. He stated when he called about the part they said, "OH yes, we have that part in stock no problem. " he replaced the fuel pump on 2/6/08 and again stated this seemed to be a common failure in vw's. He also stated the mileage on our 2004 vw Jetta wagon was not sufficient to warrant such a failure unless there was a problem with the mechanism and suggested I report the failure. The repair cost was $697. 59 total.
