Two problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Glow plug light came on, then engine light, car wouldn't accelerate when I stepped on the gas. Had to pull off the interstate. But made it home slowly. Car towed to dealer. Dealer says its bad fuel. Dept of consumer protection checked stations. No problems found with fuel. Car needs whole new fuel system-8k to repair. Vw won't fix. Told me to call insurance company. Car still at dealer now over 3 weeks.
Dead pedal - hesitation - stalling. Absolutely no throttle response when trying to pull out into traffic. You press the pedal and there is nothing there. Stop and go traffic on the expressway or stopping at an intersection the car stalls. Also have experienced surging at highway speed as if the fuel supply is cutting out. We recently returned from a trip to portsmouth nh. We were in six lanes of stop and go traffic on I-95 and the car kept stalling. When you would depress the gas pedal to continue moving there is no throttle response. We parked in the portsmouth municipal garage. As we ascended through the garage looking for a parking space [incline position] about 5 mph, there was no throttle response. The car would not move. I had to continue to feather the pedal to pull into a parking space. We now have 20k miles on the car and have had the car looked at 6 times at the local vw dealer with no fix. The car has serious throttle issues and has become dangerous to drive. Please note to numerous to mention vw tdi hesitation issues on many web forums. Someone is likely to get seriously injured or killed with this problem that vw must know about. Please advise !!!!!.
