Had driven just a few miles and was coming up to a stop at a major intersection in heavy traffic. Glow plug light lit for a second and engine immediately stopped. Engine would crank, but would not start. Have been told the problem is the high pressure fuel pump. I drive long distance in this car at all times of day. The car died immediately, leaving me in the middle of the street. Very dangerous. *tr

I had what appears to be a fuel system failure. I was turning left after stopping at a red light. I was traveling at @20 mph. 100 yards down the block, the engine lost power, the check engine light came on, as did the diesel coil icon. The car was dead instantly. There was no warning, no gradual failure, no time to get out of the street. Please note, i had my vehicle regularly serviced at the vw dealership,…

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.

Complete engine shut-off, without warning or stumbling, including all support systems (power steering and brakes, etc). No dash lights, etc. After 30 seconds, car restarts. Has now happened multiple times. Dealer has examined and offers no explanation or fix, because they can't "replicate" the problem, and car throws no codes when failure occurs. This is very dangerous. The suddenness of the failure leaves little…

I have had several issues in the past month with my vehicle either stalling immediately after start (while clutch still depressed) or shortly after driving. Volkswagen has identified this as an issue with the intercooler; there is a flaw in the design that is letting water into the air pipes which is collecting and freezing. Three times this happened in traffic, one time while crossing a lane with oncoming traffic…
