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,…

I purchased my 2010 jetta in may of 2010. Less than one year later i have experienced power loss on four separate occasions. Each time this occurred i was coming to a stop after driving between 20-30 miles. It should be noted that there was no "check engine" light illuminated. Two days later i took it to the dealership who attempted to duplicate the problem which as i had imagined they could not. *tr

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…

I purchased a 6-speed manual transmission jetta-tdi at the end of december of 2009. I have been driving manual transmission cars since 1975, and i was upset that my car was stalling either just starting out in first or in the lower rpm range of the lower gears when turning and moving through intersections or trying to go uphill when the rpms were in the lower range. Keeping the rpms up a bit seems to have helped, as…

Intercooler piping accumulates an oil/water sludge mixture during cold weather driving. While parked after driving the sludge collects at the lowest point in the piping. If temperatures are below freezing, the sludge forms a plug which prevents the car from starting. If it is above freezing, the sludge is ingested into the engine where it causes hard starts and rough running. This has occurred five times in the last…
