This is a follow up to odi#10336565. My car is still stalling when pulling into traffic. This is becoming very unsafe. After the car is warm it stalls when crossing traffic. This has occurred 3 times since the car was supposedly repaired. My car has less than 7000 miles on it. *tr

2010 vw jetta sportwagen tdi fuel pump failure. I had to replace the entire fuel system at a personal cost of $9,980.52. I was told it was due to contaminated diesel fuel but i have an engineering report that proves the fuel was within guidelines and not considered contaminated by industry standards. It has not recurred but i can't be certain it won't since i have no idea what caused it. Vw is denying warranty…

I have a 2010 jetta sportwagen tdi manual transmission. I purchased new in february 2010. I am not sure of the dates but the vehicle has stalled or just turned off twice since i have owned it while driving around town. It did start back up as soon as i turned it completely off and back on. I didn't think it was a major deal the first time it happened and that i may have just stalled it. When it happened the second…

I want to make sure my vehicle is included in nhtsa investigation ea11003 - volkswagen diesel high pressure fuel pump failures. Note: vw uses a foam cup test to verify presence of gasoline in the diesel fuel. Biodiesel will melt foam the same way gasoline does so the foam cup test will show the same results if the diesel fuel in the vehicle contains biodiesel. Most all stations in illinois sell biodiesel because of…

2010 jetta tdi (diesel) - at less than 3,000 miles, the car began stalling when accelerating from a complete stop. This has occurred at least six times. Have to release foot from accelerator and re-apply in order to get car to move ahead; sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get the car to move. Once power is established, the car lurches forward at full power. The car currently has less than 6,500 miles. The…

I've had 3 automobiles since 1986 with manual transmissions and don't recall a stalling problem like i'm having now with my vw 2010 jetta tdi. It started with a test drive and a number of times after purchase. I assumed my motor skills would adapt and the problem would become less frequent. However, the problem persists, specifically at intersections when pulling away from a complete stop, a rolling stop, or when…

Mil light, and glow plug light start appearing for no apparent reason. Car loses acceleration going up hills and becomes dangerous in traffic. It occurs sporadically. Mil light has been on for 3 plus months. Authorized service garage cannot determine reasons for these lights. Changes a few components. Even after routine 10k service, problem continues. *tr

2010 jetta tdi manual transmission--clutch stalls dangerous due to new clutch response combined with diesel turbo lag. When i purchased my new car, the salesman at vw of langhorne, pa, was certain that i would "kill the clutch" on the first drive as had all other people who purchased a manual 2010 tdi. The clutch response is somehow different than any other car and after adding the "diesel turbo lag," it makes for a…

When taking foot off brake and immediately stepping hard on the accelerator there was a severe hesitation/lag before the car took off crossing traffic. Once it kicked in it took off but is a serious safety concern. I now wait a second or more for the brake switch to communicate to the dsg transmission to tell the clutch to engage. Vw must fix this as i could have been driven in a collision. This was much more than…

The car chronically stalls in first or second gear in stop and go traffic, at very slow speeds or when coasting. When giving it gas and letting out the clutch, it just stalls with no warning. Have spoken with other jetta tdi owners and they acknowledge same problem

There was also a noise associated with the fuel movement in the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure was related to the fuel tank baffle.

Had volkswagen 2010 jetta tdi serviced at volkswagen dealer for 20,000 mile service, which includes fuel filter replacement. 2 days later, smelled diesel fumes in garage. Opened hood and saw diesel fuel leaking from fuel filter. (was not sure if it was spilled during change by dealer) went to independent garage and was told it is leaking and not to drive the car: potential fire hazard if diesel gets on manifold.…
