I was driving on the expressway when a car on the shoulder pulled out without seeing me. i went to honk my horn and it didn't work. i luckily swerved into the next lane without hitting the car in the next lane. i found out it's not just my horn but the cock spring needs replacing. nothing on my steering wheel works now and my airbag warning light stays on.
On june 6th, while rolling up to an intersection, the glow plug sensor light flashed, and then car stalled. it wouldn't start again. it was extremely dangerous as the mph on the road is 50, and the car was not in a good position to be moved to the side of the road. tons of cars passing very fast at 9:30 pm. we had it towed to the dealership, who found metal in the fuel. they diagnosed it and said the fuel pump had died. due to the emissions scandal, vw gave us an extended emissions warranty, which thankfully covers the entire fuel system! wow! but then, the dealership said they tested the fuel and said it failed the contamination tests. i have kept a log of my mileage ever since i got the car. in fact, i even saved my last few receipts which show i only put diesel in my vehicle. the dealership does not want to honor the warranty because they are blaming me for misfueling and contaminating my fuel. it's really frustrating when i have owned the car it's entire life and have never put the wrong fuel in. i ...
While driving anytime that we would slow down or put the vehicle into reverse the vehicle would go randomly in neutral. it was randomly this would happen and became more frequent. took it to a dealer and they said we would have to have the transmission replaced soon. right before this their were about another $3,000 worth of issues we had to fix.
Vehicle stalls while in motion on a state highway but coasting to a stop at a traffic signal. clutch pedal was fully depressed. has happened about 5 times between july 1, 2017 and august 29, 2017. this vehicle is a diesel. fuel pump might be loosing power. weather was dry. air and fuel filters are not dirty. they were recently replaced.
Occasionally the car will stall and surge creating a jolt at variable speeds but always while in motion. usually when accelerating from idle but sometimes during highway driving.
Driving on interstate highway for greater than 30 minutes, there was onset of strong rain conditions at about 30 minutes of driving time -- the epc light came on and the ability to accelerate was lost. symptoms of downshifting were noted just prior to onset of issue. depressing the accelerator resulted in rpm increase with no acceleration in relatively fast traffic (>50mph). was able to pull off safely and shut vehicle off. very dangerous situation in high speed/strong rain conditions. epc light turned off after shutoff and re-start, and i assumed a slip on wet surface. restarted and attempted to rejoin traffic. traveled less than 50 feet and epc light re-lit with no slip, followed immediately by lighting of the 'check engine' light. same lack of acceleration and increased rpm with depressing throttle pedal was noted. turned off engine on shoulder again and restarted after five minute period in attempt to get home and was able to very carefully/slowly merge back into traffic with check engine light and epc light lit for entirety of trip home (>50 miles). vehicle drove for additional approximately 50 miles without symptoms onset. vehicle ...
Ignition system keeps failing. car keys get stuck and car won't turn off and having a hard time tuning the key to start the car. each time the car is parked and the steering lock is disengaged.
Car suddenly unable to accelerate beyond 30 mph. car gently driven to dealership where car died and was unable to start. dealership has investigated and found metal shards from fuel filter have migrated throughout the fuel system. cost of repair $5400. car is part of vw buyback program. dealer refused to buy back vehicle without repair stating vehicle must be " able to get to dealership on its own'. i drove vehicle to dealer. dealer refuses to work with me on buyback. now forced to pay for expensive repair. dealer state repair " expected due to high mileage" i have always had high mileage vehicles and have never before had metal in fuel line due to fuel filter failure.
While driving to work on a very busy interstate my 2010 vw jetta tdi had a check engine light come on, immediately followed by my car stuttering and shutting off immediately. after neing towed to the dealer, i was informed the entire fuel system had to be replaced and that this was a major issues with vw diesels (esp. years 2009 & 2010). the hpfp had become such a problem that the manufacturer extended the warranty for the fuel system to 120k miles or 10 years. my mileage went over the allotted amount by 5k miles but after many calls to vw customer service they refused any help, they would not cover the $5,000 repair, the $3,000 in parts or anything. they refused any type of help even though they most certainly could have assisted me. it is well known that the fuel pump is poor, even the replacement pumps have a huge failure rate yet vw does nothing to assist their customers. they have failed to produce a hpfp that does not break down and then they make it the customers fault by not recalling the part. these fuel systems should have been replaced as a recall before ...
Diesel fuel filter is clogging up and was told that it required replacement at a cost of $7,000.00.
While on a city street at stopped at a stop light my vw jetta tdi made a funny noise and shook. then it acted like it wanted to stall, the glow plug light came on. the stop light changed and i was able to pull into a parking lot. when i pulled into a parking spot before i could take the care out of gear, it stalled. i was not able to get the car to start again. i was told by vw of san bernardino that this was a know issue with the high pressure fuel pump. the recall update was preformed back in 2014 to prevent the incorrect fuel from being placed into the vehicle. i am a long time diesel owner and have never placed the incorrect fuel into the car. i believe there is a defect in the design or material related to the high pressure fuel pump.
Lateral spacing between accelerator and brake pedal too narrow. this situation causes the driver to push the accelerator pedal when requiring braking. on at least one occasion this caused me to impact a stationary vehicle directly in front of me. this is a dangerous condition that is aggrevated when larger footwear is worn, this condition should be investigated, as it an unacceptable presents a safety risk
My car stalled while driving it was towed to the dealership where i was informed that there was an extended warranty on the high pressure fuel pump associated with my car make and model. i was then informed that my car was not covered under the extended warranty because i did not have a misfuel guard installed. i never received actual notice that i was to install a misfuel guard until the day my car stalled and had to be towed to the dealership. the dealership ran a fuel test which revealed that there was no improper fuel in my car, thus, even if the misfuel guard had been installed, my fuel pump would have still failed. i have contacted volkswagen as well and they also informed me that because i did not have the misfuel guard installed, i was unable to be covered under the warranty, even though there was no improper fuel located in my car. i am extremely frustrated that even though there was no user error, i am being stuck with the bill ($5,000) due to volkswagen's defective part.
High pressure fuel pump failed while driving on the freeway 60 mph car suddenly lost power and luckily i was in the slow lane and was able to pull over to shoulder
