general problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

My bosch cp4 fuel pump failed causing my engine to stall while turning at a very busy/fast intersection. This can occur at speed without any warning of sudden failure, putting everyone on the road at risk. Fault code p0087 and p0191 were present, along with a flashing glow plug. Following ea no. : ea11-003 I removed the fuel metering valve and observed and documented metal shavings. The failed component is still installed on my vehicle as I will be having it serviced shortly. The fact that this same component has been recalled very recently in many domestic trucks, but not in the 600,000 vw/Audi vehicles it is installed in is concerning. Ea no. : ea11-003 date opened: 7-Feb-2011 date closed: 27-Mar-2015 the date this analysis was closed was months before the dieselgate scandal broke, leads me to question its credibility. This repair is very expensive as a whole new fuel system needs to be installed, with the same questionable pump.

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen jetta. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 mph the vehicle began to hesitate and the check engine light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to an auto parts store that used a hand held scanner and determined that the vehicle needed to be taken to a dealer for engine failures. The contact had stated that the engine failures were intermittent at first but had become recurring and at any speed. Additionally, she started having electrical issues and a problem with the catalytic converter. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that cylinder one glow plug and several relays needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle failures connected with the "check engine" warning had reoccurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the failures were related to manufacturer service campaigns 24cv and 23u3 emissions modifications (engine and engine cooling). The contact was advised that her vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

The service act/recall for the glow plug was not reported to experian by Volkswagen when it was repaired on 12-11-2014 and it was incorrectly installed by the vw dealership in tulsa who serviced it. It was not disclosed to me and we paid over $1400 this year for an "incorrect" glow-plug, same exact part number. Please update the NHTSA id # 11553299 to include the glow plug. The vehicle is now showing the previously recalled codes for the vw recalls pertaining to 23u3 and 24cv and 4 more codes since we last spoke. We were sold the vehicle without being disclosed the recall repair on our experian report. Further, the vehicle is getting worse each day. The vehicle is a lemon & vw will not address the safety of it. They do not care about the lives of those who are their customers, something needs to change.

Warm or cold engine. Light throttle use similar to in town and highway driving conditions any gear (in manual transmission) around 10-40 mph steady speed and when transitioning from acceleration to coast to acceleration, and occasionally under hard acceleration car seems to "hiccup" or lose power and go through a throttle cut and follow on "confused" state (pulsing on and off the throttle) requiring the operator to let off the throttle until it stops being "confused". Could cause accident due to inability to accelerate if needed or unexpected "hiccup" causing someone who is being tailgated to be rear ended. Through checking publicly available forums I have found several complaints from users with responses indicating owners of this model tdi motor may be experiencing these same symptoms and when taken to vw (according to online forums) can take anywhere from 1 day to 1 month for them to come back with "we don't know what it is". Software fixes when done do not seem to fix the issue completely (acording to forums) nor does "purging" soot by doing high rpm (above 4000rpm) appear to fix the issue permanently with the issue coming back afterwards. Through commuting in my vehicle ~1500 miles per month I experience the pulsing every day at all speeds from 10-40 mph with low/steady throttle input when maintaining a steady speed. I also experienced the "confused" symptom today after an emergency stop at highway speeds necessitating a hard acceleration afterwards which I could not complete due to the engine cutting and acting "confused" around 3000 rpms in 3rd gear. Symptoms do not appear to incapacitate or immobilize the car and appear to be more of an "annoyance" but could effect safety and long term reliability with the constant loading and unloading motion of parts in the drive line. No indicator or alarm lights lit. Google tdi hiccup and 2013 tdi hiccup for forums.

Engine won't turn off. Car is in park, I try turning the engine off to exit the vehicle, key comes out but the engine is still running.
