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.

This vehicle has experienced continual problems with engine shuddering and stalling. Mostly, while in 2nd , 3rd or 4th gear, early on into a trip the engine will suddenly decelerate and in some case stall out completely. It is as if there is a sudden loss in fuel getting to the engine. This started soon after purchasing the car. It has been into the dealership numerous (6 or 7) times for this warranty issue,…

Vehicle hesitates, usually at lower speeds, but sometimes at highway speeds, and stalled completely in intersections twice. Initially this was most often on a cold start, within the first 5-10 miles, but not consistently. It might do it once a day, once a week, or once every two or three weeks. I believe the problem to be fuel system related and not transmission. I have reported the problem to dealer with each…
