2010 Volkswagen Jetta fuel system, gasoline problems

“JETTA HPFP. IN EARLY 2013 MY JETTA TDI HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS. THE ISSUE HAS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME SYMPTOMS. ONLY THIS TIME VOLKSWAGEN IS CLAIMING THE FUEL PUMP FAILED DUE TO CONTIMINATED FUEL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY DENIES THAT FACT AND IS POINTING THE FINGER AT VW FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR IS UPWARDS OF $5000 AND VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT OFFERING TO COVER IT. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING IN DISASSEMBLED STATE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I AM PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND VW PLAY A PING-PONG MATCH OF PASSING THE BLAME. *JS”

“VEHICLE STALED OUT WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD CAR TOWED TO VW DEALER, AND IT TOOK 8 DAYS FOR THEM TO FIX. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND CONTAMINATED THE WHOLE SYSTEM. IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE 2010 JETTA WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY IT WOULD HAVE COST $4660.22 TO FIX IT.”

“WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CAR STALLS. DASH PANEL LIGHTS GO OUT AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AND CAR SHUTS OFF. CAR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY STOPPED,IGNITION TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION AND PUT INTO PARK, BEFORE IT CAN RESTART. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO PULL OVER. THE CAR JUST DIES! *TR”

“I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. A SEMI ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE I LOST SPEED SO QUICKLY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY TIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AS FAILING. *JS”

“I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT BOUTS WITH MY JETTA STALLING SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EACH SET OF INCIDENTS RESULTED IN A SERVICE TRIP TO THE VW DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANT. THE SECOND SERIES OF INCIDENTS OCCURRED ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, AFTER THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR - REPLACEMENT OF THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. ANOTHER SERIES OF INCIDENTS HAS JUST BEGUN AND I'M HEADED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ALL 3 SERIES OF INCIDENTS HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS: 1) THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY DURING ACCELERATION AND 2) SLOW CHUGGING START OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP. *JB”

“GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME LIT ON DASH AND SAID "SERVICE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY." ENGINE THEN LOST POWER ON INTERSTATE (DANGEROUS). WHEN RE-CRANKED, ENGINE WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH. VW SERVICE SAID IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. *TR”
