Two problems related to fuel hoses lines/piping and fittings have been reported for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Was driving on residential street, approximately 25-30 mph, and car just lost power and stalled. After a few minutes it could start again - but the vehicle would not move, even if gas was pushed down. After a week at the dealership - they said it was the throttle. My car would not start before (after only having the car for approximately 7 months and approximately 2000 miles) - and after having it towed to the dealer, they just said the fuel was gelling. But they did do a computer upgrade and said there "particles in the fuel line" that they cleaned out and said I may have gotten "bad fuel". 1 week after my 40000 mile routine maintenance check - my glow plug light went on and I had to have a sensor replaced.
Glow plug lamp started blinking; received error message - "engine fault". Brought car in for service which took 4 days. Approximately two weeks later, the glow plug lamp started blinking again and the second time, there was an error message that said "engine fault workshop!" brought car in for service again and it remained with Volkswagen for 5 weeks. I was told that the entire diesel fuel pump system was failing and had been contaminated. Volkswagen implied that they thought I had received bad gas, but I am extremely careful about maintaining and fueling this car and can say with 100% confidence that it has only received low sulfur diesel from reputable area gas stations. The fuel system failure did not result in a crash - this time - but it is also just the latest in a long line of extensive problems the car has had since it was purchased new, including stalling, electrical failures, transmission failures, extensive leakage, water damage and other problems.
