Summary:
TODAY IS APRIL 2, 2011. I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 JETTA TDI ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE MY ENGINE DIED ON ME RIGHT BEFORE MY COIL LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE DOING 60+ MILES. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE VW DEALERSHIP IN STRATFORD CT. WHILE WAITING I STARTED TO LOOK UP ANY INFORMATION ON ISSUES RELATED TO MINE BECAUSE MY CAR TURNED ONLY 2 YEARS OLD MARCH 15 2011. I HAD HEARD ON THE RADIO ON CAR TALK THAT TDI WERE SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAYS AND THAT IT WAS BEING LOOKED INTO BY THE NHTSA. I ALSO READ DOZENS OF OTHER STORIES ONLINE WITH RELATED ISSUES WHICH IN THE END COST THEM A FEW THOUSAND TO TEN THOUSAND TO FIX ON RELATIVELY NEW CAR. I HAVE READ IT IS DUE TO HPFP NEEDING TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS DAMAGED WHEN FUELED UP WITH INCORRECT FUEL. BASICALLY VW IS SAYING THAT METAL PATICULATES ARE IN THE FULE FILTERS AND SYSTEM DUE TO PUTTING GAS INSTEAD OF DIESEL. THEY ARE TELLING THIS SUPPOSED CATCH ALL TO EVERYONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER PUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN DIESEL INTO MY CAR. THE WARRENTY IS ONLY GOOD UP TO 50K. I AM AT 54K. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR JETTA TDI OWNERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN THE MILEAGE CLIMBS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I TAKE PERSONALLY DUE TO A CHILD BEING IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO WRITE IN CONCERN FOR MY OWN ISSUES WITH THIS AND OTHER CT JETTA TDI OWNERS OF CT/USA. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP BUT I WANTED TO TRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

ON MARCH 6, WHILE DRIVING A 2009 VW JETTA TDI AT APPROXIMATE 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF, THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON, AND AN WARNING THAT READ “ENGINE FAILURE WORKSHOP!” CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 58 MPH AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE OWNER’S MANUAL DID NOT INDICATE THE MEANING OF THE GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND BOTH THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT AND “ENGINE FAILURE WORKSHOP!” LIGHTS WERE OFF. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER INDICATED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THE GLOW PLUG. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL A PART THEY ORDERED FOR ME CAME IN UNLESS I EXPERIENCED “DRIVEABILITY” ISSUES, AT WHICH TIME I COULD TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.

Summary:
WHILE DRIVING 2009 JETTA TDI WITH APPROXIMATELY 42K MILES, GLOW PLUG LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE AND ALL POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO LOCAL CAR SERVICE. AT FIRST WE WERE TOLD THERE MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED FUEL THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. ONCE A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE SHARDS OF METAL THROUGH THE FUEL LINES AND IN THE ENGINE, RESULTING IN REPAIRS UPWARD OF $10,000.00. FURTHERMORE I HAVE THE LAST 25 REPRINTED RECEIPT SHOWING DIESEL WAS THE FUEL PUT IN THIS VEHICLE, FROM A REPUTABLE FUEL PROVIDED. I FEEL THIS MUST BE ADDRESS SOON OR THERE IS GOING TO BE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT IF NOT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND US SEEING IT SOON ENOUGH TO GET IT STOP AND UNDER CONTROL. I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE CHECK THIS CLOSELY. I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE AS THESE CARS GET 40K TO 50K MILES ON THEM WE WILL SEE MUCH MORE FAILURES. THANKS, MIKE RUYLE
