Traffic was light and speed was enough to coast to safe location. Glow plug light flashes, "service engine now" on display. Driving on road at about 35 mph when car suddenly stalled. It is my position that VW should be recalling all of these vehicles to fix the problem before it happens rather than fixing one at a time after it happens exposing consumers to potential fatal accidents on highways.Ģ010 Jetta tdi. I am reporting that incident in a separate report. We also have a 2009 VW Jetta tdi that experienced the same problem in June 2014, which was repaired at commonwealth VW in santa ana, ca. The service representative indicated that VW knows of the problem and will fix the vehicle at no charge.

VW previously had a recall to install a "device" to prevent fueling with gas nozzles from the service station pumps. We have always fueled the vehicle with lower sulfur diesel fuel in California and have never fueled the vehicle with gasoline. The service representative stated that this was not an uncommon issue with the turbo diesel model and that they currently have two vehicles in their shop with the same issue. The vehicle was diagnosed as a failure of the high pressure fuel pump sending slivers of metal throughout the fuel system. The vehicle was towed to perry Volkswagen in san louis obispo, ca.
Traveling South on hwy 101, 55 miles North of san louis obispo, ca at an approximate speed of 65 mph, the engine lost power, and the vehicle came to a stop.
