Vw jetta 2011 has been dying when idling, in park and while decelerating. it will be stopped at a stop sign or red light and just lose power. it has to then be put in park and the key must be turned to come back on. this also happens when coming to a stop. recently, it happened coming off the highway going 45 mph. car had to coast and the brakes were ridden to a stop where car had to be turned back on. dealership has allegedly replaced issues with the epc light coming on, timing belt and fell pump. the problem persists. thousands have been spent on this issue and the car keeps dying. it currently has 115k miles on it. there is also an issue when pumping gas at a gas station. every time the car is filled up, it will not stay the first time turning the key. the gas pedal must be pressed a number of time for the engine to turn over and then the gas pedal must be pumped to keep the engine on. randomly dying on the highway, on city streets and in intersection is ...
When driving car the engine will stall and lock up the power steering. it may happen 3-4 times within in 3 mile distance. it has been taken to two different auto repair shops one of which deals only with german motors. the problem cannot be diagnosed. after replacing the fuel pump and crank shaft sensor the problem still exists. this is so dangerous to drive as you don't know when it will happen. please help with suggestions as the mechanics aren't able to diagnose the problem. thank you
Besides the problem i have reported about the car sputtering loosing power and even stalling once its on 1/4 tank. now i am having problems with the alternator charging the battery. i replace the mutli fuse, and the alternator. its still not charging. i had the old alternator tested and it works. after doing some research trying to figure out what else it could be, many other people are experiencing the same issues. electrical problems are very dangerous and would like to get this resolved.
Takata recall. when starting the vehicle after seating for more than an hour, it takes an excess amount of cranking before the engine fires. 10 plus seconds. one its running it usually drives without issues until you get to 5/16-1/4 tank. while driving down the highway it starts to loose power. the car feels like it is going to shut off. it looses power, gains and loose power causing it to sputter and loose control. after a few moments it is back to normal. then proceeds to happen sporadically usually every couple miles until it gets fill it up. this happens on city roads and highway. i fill the tank up and i only get on average 10 gallons into the tank, so i know its not out of gas. i have had the fuel pump test numerous times by different mechanics. all of them said its not loosing pressure, and it primes when the drivers door opens like it should. after reading online i have noticed many jetta owners are having the same problems and can not seem to get it fixed. this is very concerning cause it can cut power at any moment and is very dangerous. ...
While driving the car to work last thursday (07/28/16) the car stalled and rolled to a stop. i had it towed to my mechanic and he indicated that the fuel pump and possibly the injectors need to be replaced. the car had just under 1/4 tank of diesel fuel at the time. there were no error lights or other indication of failure. the vehicle is still at the mechanic, he indicated that the parts are $900 and labor will be additional. depending on what he finds as he does the repair. he indicated that the injectors may be damaged which would add an additional $1000 for parts plus labor. i didn't take the car to vw because i don't trust them. the ac failed last month and they wanted $1900 for the repair, i brought it to my mechanic and had it repaired for $800. they billed me $200 to tell me the ac was bad. the car currently has 40,000 mile on it. i don't have the repair invoices at this time. up to the time of the ac failure all work has been completed by vw.

High pressure fuel pump failed containated the fuel system with metal particles well i was on vacation on five lane freeway just south of pasadena highway 5 fall left lane just stopped running almost accident trying to cross four lanes with no power.
2011 jetta diesel complete failure of high pressure fuel pump without warning at 50 mph ascending a large bridge in vehicle what has had scrupulous periodic maintainance. occurring at rush hour on a 4 lane high traffic river bridge (295 delaware memorial bridge) a very dangerous time and place due to collision possibilities. my research so far is that this is a common problem with the company covering it up to 120 thousand miles. no notice has every been received of this propensity or of the, what seems to be "secret" warranty extension.
While driving straight on a city highway, the car stalled, and would not restart. this happened in moderate traffic, but we were able to coast out of the road and into a parking lot. the dealer where we bought the car analyzed the fuel system, and ruled that out. he found a bad fuse related to the fuel pump, and claims at this time that it is probably an electrical issue. at this time, the exact cause remains unknown. this is the third time that we've had the same problem, though the previous two times the dealers claimed that it was a fuel system issue.
Car with approximately 56,500 miles. about 50 miles after fueling with diesel fuel from a sunoco station, glow plug light started blinking, check engine light on and car entered a "limp mode". was attempting to accelerate onto a highway from an on ramp. would not allow me to go over 25 miles per hour. brought to nearest vw dealership. was told the high pressure fuel pump had essentially disintegrated and there are metal shards throughout the entire fuel system, which will need to be replaced. fuel sample sent to vw for testing. awaiting to hear from dealer whether or not this will be covered under warranty.
High pressure fuel pump failure.
While driving on the freeway, the diesel coil light started flashing and our vehicle lost power. we pulled off of the road, the vehicle stalled, so we had the vehicle towed to the dealership. dealership determined it was a fuel system failure(metal in the system) and sent the fuel to be tested. test result said insufficient lubricant in fuel, therefore repairs not covered under extended warranty. dealership informed us that we needed to be using "toptier" diesel. we researched this (having never been told this before) and realized we had purchased diesel from a "toptier" listed station (shell). dealership told us to make a claim with our insurance company since it was an "outside influence" that caused the failure. insurance company is investigating whether or not this is a valid claim.
The car , 2011 vw jetta tdi, stalled while driving on the highway for the third time. this is third repair to the high pressure fuel system. metal debris were found per dealer. the second time was approx 1 1/2 yrs ago while my wife was driving on the freeway with 2 kids. the first time was approx 3 yrs ago.
Vehicle began stuttering and lost power. after an additional 20 seconds shut down and would not restart. it appears to be a problem with the diesel fuel pump as metal debris were found. dealer claims vw must test fuel however i know the car has always been properly fueled and has the fueling safeguard device installed.
