general problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

Two problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2011

I was driving the vehicle when the glow plug light on the dash began flashing, then the computer displayed engine fault, contact workshop, then the check engine light came on and the call stalled in the middle of an intersection and had to be pushed to the side of the road. The car would not start again.

2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2009

Car has stuttered when accelerating from stop since purchasing with 12 miles. On 12/21/2009, car lost power and stuttered at speed on interstate highway. The road immediately climbed a hill. With accelerator to the floor, the car dropped to under 60 mph and I shifted from 6th to 5th. Car still kept decelerating so I shifted to 4th. Fortune provided a rest area as the car got to about 45 mph on the interstate. After parking, car stalled while idling. Starting engine would roughly idle at 1/2 of the idle rpm for about 5 seconds before stalling. After 4 tries, I let the car sit for 10 minutes and it restarted without further incident. The car had diesel purchased in upstate NY in the winter, presumably a winter blend. The incident happened in va in 30+ degree temperatures, so presumably gelling of the fuel was not the problem. Additionally, on 12/17/2010, car started but would not rev above 1500 rpm even while out of gear. Would not go more than 10 mph. I assume it is the fuel system but the vw dealer claims everything is fine with the car.
