Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

I took my car to Volkswagen only for them to tell me that the coolant needed to be flushed due to the epc light I spent 300 bucks and a week later they told me that the fuel pump or fuel system needed to be cleaned take the gas out and put more gas in and it needed to be replaced spark plugs which is another 800 bucks that is almost 1000 within two weeks for a epc light.

The vehicle was in motion on a major city thoroughfare when it suddenly shut down and stalled in the middle of the street, in traffic. It would not restart and had to be moved out of the street. It was towed to a local dealership for diagnostics. The fuel pump and control unit are defective and made the car inoperable.

Vehicle stalls at red lights or when idle. Epc light continues to light up. Continue to take vehicle to dealers each time they were unable to fix stating change the oil it is bad. At this time we are replacing engine at 86,000 miles, fuel pump was also changed in December 2020.

While driving at highway speed the vehicle suffered a sudden and catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel pump. The vehicle has only 43k on it and was just purchased after receiving the tdi update 3k miles ago. The fuel pump failure occurred around 60-70 mph on the highway and lead to the vehicle losing all power and barely making it to the shoulder of the road. I have now learned that this failure has completely destroyed my fuel system and is not covered by vw even thoughthey are using the same part that they are covering for the 2010-2013 model years they offered an extended warranty on. Not only is this incredibly unsafe, as a consumer this type of unpredictable and common failure is unacceptable.

Dec 26 2018 the car stalled as I was backing up out of my parking space, pushed the car back into the space and waited 20 minutes and the car started and I drove it to the vw dealer and was told do not use wawa gas. June 21 2019 the car stalled as I was backing out of a parking space at trader joes pushed the car back into space . Waited 20 minutes started car went to the dealer and they said they could not find any problems car had 69,050 miles still under warranty. October 1 st backing out of trader joes parking lot and car stalls again wait 30 minutes and then drive to the dealer and I am told I need a fuel pump and module. And now the car is out of warranty. . I have read that several models of vw have been recalled for the fuel pump but mine was not included.

Vehicle started having issues with the fuel gauge showing that the vehicle was empty when we fill up the tank. After the tanks was about 3/4 or less then gauge will start working. I reported this problem to the dealership when the car was new, but they could not find any issues, at one point, if I remember well they said it was a sensor. The last few months the car started having issues starting and we thought it was the battery. Battery was replaced and it happened a few more times, when we parked the car it will not start. The next day starts with no issues for a few days or weeks. Finally, on 3/8/19, the car will will not start anymore and it had to be towed. The engine turns and everything looks fine. When I did some research, it shows some fuel pump issues with 2014 Volkswagen cc and other models, but not the Passat. I remove the back seat of the car to access the fuel pump to check if I can feel the pump running and check if there was power to the pump. To my surprise, when I removed the plug to check the power, the connector was completely corroded and there was some liquid (assume was water) on the connector. I went to the dealership and reported the issue, but I was ignored as they never seen any issues with the pump. On 2014, we bought two Passat a few months apart. The first one was having issues when running, the engine stalls. We reported to the dealership and they could not find any issues. After a few accidents scares, meaning it was very close to happens, we had to rid of the other Passat last year. Now with this issue on the second Passat, we think that issues with cars are related. It is strange that some there are recalls for other vw model for fuel pump the same year but not my car. Please see the attached pictures. I have the old pump on my possession if needed for any reason.

Car shut off on interstate highway during rush hour. Car was completely without power and coasting without engine power at all. Avoided a serious dangerous hazardous situation which was a life threatening experience. Inexperienced driver would have surely been in an accident. My master german mechanics have informed me it is the high pressure fuel pump that failed and left my car vulnerable at 70mph surrounded by rush hour traffic.

Driving a 2014 Volkswagen Passat tdi in heavy interstate traffic on I-24 my high pressure fuel pump failed leaving me stranded in dangerous heavy traffic. I car would not budge, had to be towed in and now facing problems with the dealership and Volkswagen of America not wanting to repair a known problematic part--not to mention a dangerous part to fail at anytime while operating a motor vehicle. I practice good maintenance and proper fuel is always dispensed into my Volkswagen Passat tdi as I'm the only person who fuels this vehicle with diesel. I've driven for ups, been a nurse for 20 years and can honestly say this was a very dangerous situation on the interstate. The Volkswagen dealership is located in murfressboro TN, 2203 NW broad st, phone 615-653-4694.

On July 24th, we left a parking lot in battle creek and drove about 20 yards on hill brady rd. When there was a loud ripping sound on the right passenger side. We pulled the car over immediately, thinking we'd shredded the front tire. Upon inspection, the tire was ok but the car would not restart. The car was towed to maple hill auto group in kalamazoo. Upon initial inspection on July 25th, I was told the internal fuel pump exploded, like a grenade, sending metal shards throughout the engine. We have filed a claim with our insurance company and are awaiting further details.

26,050 miles and looking at a $5,000 repair bill for fuel pump failure! something about ultra low sulfur and lubricity. Car just died and had to coast out of traffic.
