Eight problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had several issues in the past month with my vehicle either stalling immediately after start (while clutch still depressed) or shortly after driving. Volkswagen has identified this as an issue with the intercooler; there is a flaw in the design that is letting water into the air pipes which is collecting and freezing. Three times this happened in traffic, one time while crossing a lane with oncoming traffic going 50mph. Vw drained the intercooler two weeks ago and sent me on my way because the part is being redesigned and is on backorder. A week later my car failed shortly after leaving my driveway, stranding me on the side of the road. I had to have it towed back to my driveway. Vw dealership and customer care were closed for the weekend. Monday I had to take a tow truck ride 1. 5 hours to the dealership. They've drained it again and want me to pick it up but have acknowledged the issue is not fixed. They acknowledge it is a known issue, it is a safety issue, the car is under warranty and yet they want me to pick up an unrepaired car because vw does not have parts to repair it. I live in vermont, the winters are cold, I can't risk getting into an accident because my car fails due to what vw claims is a known issue.

Brand new Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen tdi has stalled at speeds from 25-65 mph with absolutely no warning (no warning lights or messages and no change in driving performance).

They did not find anything wrong with the car during testing and simply cleared the codes with the assistance of a vw of America technician working remotely. The vw of America tech advised test driving 20 miles and returning the car to us. The car worked well for the next 5k miles but has now stalled randomly again twice while driving. I was nearly hit today as the car stalled in the middle of an intersection as I was turning left. Prior events have led to nearly being rearended on 4 lane highways with 2 adults and a 3 and 5 year old in the back seat. This is my first new car and I have never felt this unsafe in cars I have owned that are over 10 years old. Vw seems to think it is ok to return this car to customers and will not provide me any information on the frequency of this occurrence in this make and model across the country. I am having it towed to the vw dealer (sutliff in harrisburg PA) where I bought the car. They indicated they will work on the car again. I'm afraid this will just mean clearing codes and test driving. The mechanics have all agreed that they would not feel safe driving their family in my car. . . My new car.

2010 volkswagon jetta sportwagon tdi automatc transmission. The vehicle loses total power if the driver "power brakes" the vehicle. If you are sitting at stop sign during heavy traffic, left foot on the brake, and you attempt to accelerate quiclky, the car will move forward slightly as if it stalled, your first response is to brake quickly, thinking the car stalled, when you realize this is not the case, then accelerate, this can create the same effect, because of a panic situation and the foot still on the brake this has happened to me several times, almost causing a serious t style collision. I asked the dealer and he confirmed that if the driver brakes and acclerates at the same time this will occur. To demonstrate this further, I have attempted to brake while traveling at various speeds and the car seems to "brake and lose enormous mount of power". I feel as though a saftey warning should be given directly to the new owner of this type of vehicle, such as a caution sticker that any driver, especially that may have borrowed the vehicle, will be aware of the grave consequenses of power braking a vw. Diesel. Im glade that this happened to me rather than to my wife or daughter the outcome may not have been the same.
