2011 Volkswagen Jetta Fuel System Diesel Engine Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER. WE WERE ON A RURAL ROAD SO WE COULD PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER OF BEING REAR ENDED. ONCE STOPPED THE CARE WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO BE TOWED TO VW DEALER. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. *TR

I WAS OPERATING THE CAR ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN REDUCTION IN POWER AND THE DASH DISPLAYED A FLASHING GLOW PLUG LIGHT AND SOLID CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE (HPFP); IT TOTALLY CAME APART AND DISTRIBUTED METAL THROUGHOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. INJECTOR PUMP (DIESEL), INJECTORS, INJECTOR LINES, PRIMARY FUEL LINES, AND PRIMARY FUEL PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WENT TO PASS A VEHICLE AND I FELT A SURGE THEN A SIREN SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT WAS A VACUUM ISSUE AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN I GOT TO DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BLOWN TURBO. WONDERING IF THIS IS TIED TO THE INCIDENT I HAD WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILING AROUND 100K. TOO MANY MAJOR CATASTROPHIC ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN QUOTED 15,000 FOR REPAIRS ON A CAR I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON AND ONLY COST 28K TO BEGIN WITH. *TR

MY 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI STARTED TO SPUTTER WHEN ACCELERATING, I BROUGHT IT THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND SHARDS OF METAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. HPFP (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP) HAD FAILED. THE QUOTE TO FIX WAS 6875.00 TO FIX A TWO YEAR OLD CAR. VERY UN HAPPY. *TR

DRIVE HOME FROM WORK AT ABOUT 1500 HRS, WITH NO ISSUES. STOPPED AT LOCAL SUPERMARKET, STARTED ENGINE WITH SLIGHT DELAY, LEFT PARKING LOT, CAR STARTED TO BUCK, DROVE MAYBE 1/2 MI STARTED LOSING POWER, AFTER GOING ANOTHER 50 FT CAR ENGINE DIED, PUSHED CAR TO MY DRIVEWAY CALLED DEALERSHIP AND HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. ON 11/21/13 DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT HPFP HAD EXPLODED SENDING METAL SHAVINGS INTO ENGINE, THEY ASKED ME IF I ACCIDENTALLY PUT GAS AND I RESPONDED WITH NO. THEY STATED THAT FUEL MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED. DEALERSHIP IS REPAIRING CAR SINCE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SAID MAYBE 1 WEEK IN THE SHOP. I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL IN THE MEANTIME. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP IN MY CAR'S 2.0 TDI DIESEL ENGINE BROKE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE POWER DROPPED TO ALMOST NOTHING. BEFORE I COULD GET TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT, THE ENGINE DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP(HPFP). IF IT HAD BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WOULD HAVE COST $6000 TO REPAIR. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE EXPRESSWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
