1 Tank Assembly problem of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

Failure Date: 11/16/2011

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.
