Two problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Reference: NHTSA action number: ea11003 - please add us to ongoing investigation our 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen tdi only 4 months old with 3500 miles - failed on the highway while trying to accelerate around a dangerous situation. The a blinking glow plug light came on and the car went into limp mode (no power) on the highway at high speeds. (fwiw - a baby + pregnant wife driving). Able to reproduce afterwards - pressing a hard throttle/accelerating would disable the vehicle into limp mode. Report came back the entire fuel system - hpfp needed to be replaced. A brand new vehicle should not have a failure like this from just filling up the tank the previous day. We have kept all receipts, logged miles and had the state dept shut down the station and pull a full lab report on the fuel. Everything check out ok by the state standards.
Driving down road when glow plug light, check engine light came on then car died and would not restart. Hpfp failure. Dealer claims contaminated fuel. I have receipts for every tank full.
