3 weeks after purchasing my pre-owned vehicle in may 2019, smoke started pouring out of the engine on my way to work. i had my car towed to a shop and was told the cause of the issue was broken engine hose clamps. the shop charged me almost $700 for brand new hose assemblies and clamps. also, my transmission is slipping intermittently and i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
Fuel pump not shutting off after engine shutoff. draining battery. this happened one night while vehicle was stationary in my driveway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 volkswagen jetta. the contact stated that the electrical system failed and most of the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated. in addition, the instrument cluster panel was faulty. the vehicle leaked fuel and the power steering was faulty. the entire electrical system constantly failed. the vehicle was towed to crown volkswagen of lawrence (3400 iowa st, lawrence, ks 66046, (785) 838-7750) where it was diagnosed that the internal module in the transmission failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 148,376.
Doing 70 mph on the highway our 2009 jetta tdi lost all power. the high injection fuel pump turned out to be the problem. repairs will cost at least $6,000.00 vw modified this pump 5 different times and never notified the owners about problems with the pump. the nhtsa had an investigation and concluded people were using the wrong fuel. we have 2 diesel vehicles and know which pump at the service stations are diesel. this is a serious life threatening problem, catastrophic failure and no power in you car yet the nhtsa closed their investigation. vw will do nothing to help with repairs and the jetta has become a total lemon. we have received several recall notices through the years, none regarding the fuel pump, and the car was taken to the dealership for the recalls each time. we would like to see something done about this serious problem.
Takata recall. in february of 2017 my check engine light came on and was accompanied by a series of 3 beeps. as i continued to drive more lights came on and my dash board looked like a christmas tree ex. airbag, oil, check engine, abs, epc, brake light, etc. when driving on the high way my gauges will shut off and i can not see how fast i am going, my car will decelerate with my foot on the gas at random times on the high way. i look my car in for repair to cars auto in las vegas because my car could not pass smog. they did an analysis and informed me that my abs module was shot and there was an active recall for the device. i took it to my local vw dealership and thought with my safety in concern that this would be a simple fix. instead, they informed me that i would need to make an appointment and come back another day but i refused to drive my car off the lot. they took my car to the back and said that my abs module was not communicating with the computer and that ...
The car was driven a short 7 miles and parked for 2.5 hours in 28f weather. upon starting to return the smell of fuel was noticeable. upon driving the smell did not dissipate and seemed quite intense. the vehicle was stopped after about mile of slow in-town travel and on a hunch the top engine cover was removed. fuel was found to be all over the top of the engine in the area of the injector lines. the recall work (11v490000) for these lines was done years ago. the car is currently at the dealership awaiting evaluation but i can't help wonder if their recall work was not fully successful at preventing the fuel leak it was meant to. *tr
At 140k miles 2009 volkswagon jetta tdi stalled out in middle of intersection. towed to dealer and diagnostics revealed p0191-fuel pressure sensor implausibleand p0087-fuel rail system pressure too low. volkswagen will not fix due to emissions recall of my vehicle and over warranty. volkswagen knows this is a defect with the diesel engine and won't fix it.
Vehicle stalled without warning while traveling out of state in 118 degree weather near phoenix. stall occurred just as we were turning back onto the highway after stopping to check the map. check engine light came on and engine would crank but not start. towed to nearest dealer who diagnosed hpfp failure known to occur with vw tdi engines.
The vehicle is part of the vw tdi emissions scandal. the vehicle currently needs a dpf which is one of the parts affected by the emissions scandal and one that will eventually need to be replaced for the car to meet/pass emissions. vw should pay for this expensive repair now.
We have been having an issue with the engine stalling out while driving. it started with the epc light coming on several months ago, but the light does not stay on and there has been no consistency to the occurrences. however, now, the car will stay running for long and stalls out shortly after starting. the epc comes on sometimes, but not every time that is stalls out. today i took the car for a drive around the block, as soon as i got it back home, it stalled out. from that point on the car would not stay running for more than 15 seconds.
Engine fire in motion on the highway cause unknown.
My car has 146k miles. it is a diesel. the high-pressure fuel pump failed while in motion on 2/8/2016. vw limit on hpfp warranty extension is 120k miles which seems low for a diesel car. to repair the fuel system is $5300 which is more than the car is worth. called vw and they will not offer any financial assistance...even with this car being part of 'dieselgate'. hoping other drivers with this same problem are complaining and odi considers re-opening the report. link here http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/ucm475595/incr-ea11003-61863.pdf.
This is for a 2009 vw jetta tdi. the tdi of course has been involved with vw adjusting software to cover up nox emissions on several year models of their diesel 2.0 engines. what also needs to be looked at is the high number of failures involving the diesel particulate filter (dpf) units. it could be the software hat has been churning out wrong emissions readings could have possibly overtaxed the soot collection in this vehicles as well. i would suggest someone from your office peruse forums at tdiclub and other tdi sites to see the number of these units that have been reported by members. i have not had the failure as of yet, but wanted to bring this to your attention
While driving on a city street, my car began to make a rumbling sound, followed by a engine warning message turning on. within a minute, my car died and would not restart. we towed our 2009 vw jetta sportwagen tdi to a vw specialized mechanic who confirmed that there were metal shavings in the fuel system that seems to be resulting from a hpfp failure. mileage was at 131769 at time of failure. (outside of the extended warranty time period for the hpfp issue) 12/21/2012 two faulty rear passenger seat belts were replaced. airbags had not been deployed and car had not been in an accident prior to seat belts breaking.
